I have a couple of things on my mind. I'm worried about putting all my ducks in one basket as far as nursing school goes. I'm pretty confident that I'll get in at CSU but I think I'm going to spend some time tomorrow applying at other schools as a backup plan.
I'm really looking forward to surgery and all that life will offer for me afterwards! I even found a few job postings at St Francis that I'm thinking about applying for! We'll see!

Gratitude for a good day
My beloved family
On the left is our newest addition, Emma Grace Ottman. She was born on Oct 17, 2007 and we adopted her on Dec 2, 2007. She is a true priss. She loves to play with her stuffed animal toys and pull out all the stuffing. She loves to eat too! She loves going outside but won't put a single paw in the grass if its wet or cold. She tolerates getting her hair brushed but isnt too fond of baths - not yet anyway.
On the right is Scooter Bug Ottman. He was born on August 2, 2003. I adopted him before I married Justin and he has been my best little buddy ever since. We are very close. He loves his mommy more than anything in the world! I don't go anywhere in our home without Scooter right on my tail - even the bathroom! He is the sweetest dog ever to exist. He has a very sensitive personality and even a strong tone will make him tuck his tail. He was VERY jealous and has hurt feelings when we brought Emma home. It took him a good 8 months to be hiself again and he still looks a little sad when he sees his mommy cuddling Emma. He'll always be mommy's first though :)

How much can a person take

Newlywedded laundry
My husband is by far NOT the neatest person. I am constantly picking up after him. He likes to leave food bowls in the living room, clothes on the bathroom floor (or wherever he happens to take them off) shoes in random places, etc.
We lived together for a year and a half before we got married and during that time, I managed to "train" him to put down the toilet seat! yay! He still has the occassional slip up and forgets but for the most part, he's toilet trained! haha.
The biggest problem I have now is laundry. I'd ask him to help, but from previous experience, he just "doesn't do it right." So, I'd rather just do it myself. Well, I would get so frustrated and overwhelmed because I hate laundry so much that it would just pile up higher and higher and be this unmanageable mound. My solution to this is very small loads on a daily or every other day basis. I would MUCH rather spend 10 minutes putting away a small load of laundry than HOURS doing several loads and wasting a whole day. It seems like such a simple solution and I don't know why it took me so long to master it but wow what a difference it makes!
