alienjenn Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 this is tired me who won the best mom of the year award with the valentines day presents (got the whovian girl a bow tie... and the inventor boy a perry the platypus mask... LOL) ... three things I like about me today... I listen to people... so I know how to make them happy.,.. I know what things will be good presents and I know what little things to do/say when people are sad... I am a better friend/mom/sister/daughter because of my ability to effectivly listen... ummm... this is very hard for me... I have no idea... ummm I am flexible... I transfered to our sister unit tonight because they were WAY short (patients were tripled over here they are so short)... I have been able to let go of my ocd enough to be able to be flexible when it matters it makes relations between our units better... and since we are merging in a couple weeks... it makes things look better for me wow... ummm I like my.... colorful outlook... I like to look bright and cheerful because I think it makes my patients happier...

alienjenn Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 ok... so long weekend... sat I didn't update because I intended to from work... but then work was long... and stressful... we are a 5 bed icu... and we were short a nurse... and we had 3 admissions and 2 deaths (and one of them was a 3 hr long affair... sigh...) so I didn't get any chance to update... sunday... woke up and went straight on a date with my boy we went to applebees.... then a couple movies... and I didn't get home til after midnight so... I am considering todays update sundays update (even though it is late) so that way I only missed one day... I am TRYING to be good about updating without making it a stressful thing... so... I kinda suck at that whole.... taking pictures of yourself on a phone thing... sigh... but... this is my boy he goes by zombie today... I love my skin it's clear... and generally consistent in color (I think the redness is from the flash) I like my freckles I always used to hate them... but I see them on my kids... and realize that they have my freckles... and I love them... because it is something we share I love my eyes... they are easily one of my favorite things about myself... and one of the few things that I ALWAYS love ... they are a bright sparkley reflective blue... electric if you will (not sure how well it comes across in the photo... it was in a dim theater while waiting for our movie to start).. I love it even more that my kids all have the same electric blue eyes (there really is no doubt about their parentage LOL) I like my dimples I really wasn't smiling big enough here to see them but... I have some cute dimples! and now they had one of those *things* at the movie theater Quote Level 10.4 Wood-Elf, Ranger - specializing in demon fighting "doing the impossible since 2012 :D" - Librarian of Doom facebook battle log level 50 WOOT Backstory CNF2014 current (not challenge - doing a battle log this time) Spoiler * This is the day the Lord has made, rejoice in it and be glad.

alienjenn Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Sigh... Consistency is hard for me... Like really really.... I'm very good at starting things! Ok... Today's entry... It's four so I'm calling it today and not yesterday. :pIt's my battle I'll cry if I want to I'm on my phone... I don't know how well you can see this (my screen is cracked I love my calves... Another of the few (three ) body parts I ALWAYS love... They are well defined and chiseled and beautiful... I love my ankles... Well... Ok I like my ankles... I'm learning how to move in my body so that I stop killing my ankles... Plus I've never had cankles... No matter how big I've been... I do love that..., I love that I can pick things up with my toes... My son calls me quadbedexterous... Because I can manipulate things with my toes...

alienjenn Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 tonights picture is a compilation I am very proud of this picture I ACTUALLY SEE THE DIFFERENCE... I see the definition in my forearm... I see that the top is cinched tighter and my boobs are smaller I see that my belly doesn't stick out (from 2nd to 3rd pic) and not NEARLY as far as from 1st to 3rd..... I am going to have to get rid of these pants soon... because they are cinched as tight as they can be and they almost fell off today... thank God for safety pins!! my face... even though it is an odd angle on my neck... I can see definition in my face... I look smaller and I can see it I usually can't see it... I look in the mirror and I still see the pic on the left... ... but in pictures... I am starting to see it!!!!

alienjenn Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I am at work and it's been a long night and I didn't get a chance to take a photo... so I found an old one... this picture was taken on the marhar/three ridges hike... last summer... we will be doing this hike again this summer... it is on the apalacian trail... I like that I take my children to interesting places.. I give my children experiences that many children/people don't get to experience... and we have fun together.... I like that I do things even when they are hard... this was one of the hardest trails I have ever been on... and I was ready to give up... but I didn't ... and I didn't need *much* encouragement... I like that I am more capable and able to do things...

alienjenn Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 got ready to go to work today... and I was put on call... and will probably be canceled thanks to a zero census... so at least I didn't call in sick two days in a row... and... I am feeling *much* better... no throwing up... since yesterday evening... even ate some small food [pearsauce earlier.... baked apple pie-ish now] and I am doing... eh ok... hoping things stay down! (and yes... the bandanna is bright pink with monkeys and bananas and bright green eyeballs thank you for asking ) I like... my sense of style... it's kooky... and off the wall... but it's me... and I look good (well as good as possible in the pajamas that we have to work in)... everything I own is very unique and means something to me... I love dressing differently (no one else at work dresses like I do.... they mostly wear the solid colors... but I like to make a statement) I like my skin... it's very low maintenance... I wash it when I remember to... I don't have to use a complex ritual like some women my age... I love that I very few wrinkles (I have dimple wrinkles... and one in my forehead that shows up when I am smiling/laughing) even though I am <gasp> almost 40... I like... ummm.... goodness... I am having a hard time tonight... I still feel oogey... I like that today my youngest son just told me that he thinks I'm stronger than sulfuric acid ... and then we spent like 30 mins talking about electron shells and balancing molecules and talking about rust... he found a periodic table in his planner and I had to explain the whole thing... it was so neat to have him ask questions and understand...

alienjenn Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 ok ok ... I know... what is this... two pictures in one day?? this is MADNESS!! but... I was sitting here... and I had an itch on my arm... so... I did what any red blooded american would do and I scratched it... so then I spent the next five minutes trying to figure out why my arm felt weird... let me post a pic and you can see if you can see why... can you see it?? can you tell what that is?? I will tell you!!! those arrows there... the black ones... that point at the line in my arm.... that's definition... that's a ROCK HARD muscle baby... not flabby... not fleshy... but definitely muscle... and I got them in my upper arms too... (can't figure out how to photograph the muscle... you can feel it... but not quite see it yet... unless I am flexing just after working out... then you can see the biceps... but.... alas I digress) this girl has muscle it's amazing... first time in my life I have had visible muscle Quote Level 10.4 Wood-Elf, Ranger - specializing in demon fighting "doing the impossible since 2012 :D" - Librarian of Doom facebook battle log level 50 WOOT Backstory CNF2014 current (not challenge - doing a battle log this time) Spoiler * This is the day the Lord has made, rejoice in it and be glad.

alienjenn Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 ok... so I know I know... three updates in 24 hours.... I must be cray-cray... maybe that stomach virus somehow mutated and infested my brain... but I was digging through some old fb photos... and I found a side profile one (close up on the face)... and then I was certain that I had another one from when I got glasses this time... but alas I didn't.... so that lead to an hour of monkeying around and adhd kicking in... doing dishes and cooking and SMOOTHIE!!! but then when I sat back down and realized that I hadn't taken the picture... I got up and took it ... and I made a comparison pic... black shirt was 2011 Feb... and pink bandana was this morning... so todays "three things I like" is going to be like one of those stupid "activity book" things that I always hated... those things that when we got them in school I always just tore them up and trashed them and took the f... because that was what I thought "f that!" 1: my neck... I can almost definitely see a difference in my neck... right below my chin... it doesn't pooch out as much... 2: if I look at the angle of my cheek and lip... it looks smaller... maybe... 3: the angle of my cheek under my glasses... looks smaller... again maybe... 4: this one seems weird... but the angle of my ear where it hits the jaw... it looks like it is a bigger angle... like my ear sticks out more... or differently... 5: the angle of the nose to upper lip... looks sharper... 6: another weird one... my temple... it looks like you can see more of the bone structure in it... I figured since I wasn't doing a 3 things I like... I should go for double I have a hard time seeing differences.... but I am trying to find them Quote Level 10.4 Wood-Elf, Ranger - specializing in demon fighting "doing the impossible since 2012 :D" - Librarian of Doom facebook battle log level 50 WOOT Backstory CNF2014 current (not challenge - doing a battle log this time) Spoiler * This is the day the Lord has made, rejoice in it and be glad.

I was really tired... then got off work... and stayed up all day... helped the mom and stuff... went to bed around 530 pm.. and didn't get up til almost 6 so today I am wide awake... getting ready to have a breakfast date with my mom ok so three things I like about this picture I don't get bed head I can spend a week on the trail and my hair still looks nice (well... nice enough... especially if I take clean bandannas) I don't have to do much to my hair to make it presentable I love my dimples I like my lips.... ok that's a stretch... I always feel like my upper lip is non existent... so... eh... but this is about changing perceptions... so... I like my lips... they kiss my babies... and can offer words of encouragement...

alienjenn Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Had a rough day yesterday... Been fighting with my son to keep his room clean (actually spent about eight hours last week took everything out and used the rug doctor etc) then while his stuff was in his brothers room he trashed that room... It's been a long culminating battle... That yesterday had me in tears... Things in my house have been degenerating for a while now... Chris purposely broke his sister's cell phone and has hidden his brother's... Kids have been fighting more and more and the house has been less and less clean... To the point where I'm ashamed to have people over and my mom refuses to visit.... So yesterday I'm in my son's room and cleaning up after the youngest (two and a half hours and it still isn't done) and the voice in my head tells me that I'm a horrid mother and that my kids would be better off without me and kept going... I sat down and just started crying... I just sat there for a minute and bawled... And then I got really mad and I stood up and yelled at the top of my lungs "shut up shut up shut up!" I turned some praise music on to down out the voices in my head... And just repeated to myself "I'm a good mom I don't have to be the best mom I just have to be better today than yesterday" I prayed... And tried to get a handle... The problems in our house are partially my fault... I've been allowing my anger to escalate and not remaining calm... I've not been as patient as I should be... I came up with an idea and when Chris came home I told him that I considered one dollar to be worth 15 push ups and I spent almost three hours on his room and that each phone was worth 150... I asked him how long it would take him to pay that off... He was shocked and said he couldn't work that hard... I kept my calm... It was a decent night... This morning I woke him up and told him he had to do as many push ups in a row as he could (13) then as many sit ups (10)... I told him that I would consider a dollar worth ten of either... And he was paying me off this week... I kept my calm... I tried I'm still feeling really horrible... I'm tired of living in chaos... I'm trying to not be angry all the time... It's like a horrible feedback loop... I'm not sure if I'm the speaker or the microphone... But the loop needs to be stopped...
