Work Work Work

Sooooo today was my first day at work. Actually, I'm still at work. I'm soooooooooo bored off my asshole that I could just keel over. Honestly, I would rather be working at a job that is super busy and you are constantly doing something then a job where its really laid back and you sit behind a computer and type shit up all day. Time is going by sooo slow. Well maybe it is because I am excited to see my Mom after work. I haven't seen her since I have gotten home from Milwaukee, and we are going to go into Hudson tonight for some goodies. Aka, my sisters birthday present. I am so used to working second shift, and today I had to be here by 9am. Hooooly meatballs that is early for me. I am SO ready for a nap. I was going to go to bed early last night, but I started watching Pearl Harbor and that movie is ridiculously long. Also, ridiculously good so there was NO way I was just going to stop watching it right in the middle!
Sooo having the scenery change from Milwaukee to here has been quite the experience. Its not like I wasn't aware of what it is like in the country neck of the woods, but when I would come back and visit on weekends I really didn't get the feel back for the area. Today I walked to the post office and the trip in total took me about 5 minutes. During that 5 minutes at least 10 people said hello to me, or told me to have a nice day. I was like...maaaaaaan people are nice around here. Thats what I DO like about small towns. OK I'm done writing for now. I'll probably be so bored tomorrow that I will write again.

Writing without a reason

I honestly do not have anything to say..but I have nothing else better to do then to come up with something, so I figured I would give it a shot.


I left for home on Friday afternoon. I planned on leaving around 2, but didn't end up heading out until 4. I had to go get my car checked out before I came to make sure everything was in tip top shape. I knew I needed to get my oil changed, and I knew that I probably needed to get my coolant flushed..which stinkin sucks because that is expensive. Point of my story is that valvoline took 130 of my precious dollars. Did you know that I have not gone shopping since the beginning of May!??!?! Anyone who knows me knows that I reeeeeeeeeally like to shop. Not like I have a shopping fetish by anymeans..I just really enjoy new clothing. Also, a majority of my clothes do not fit me anymore..ALREADY! It would be just my luck that being only 3 months along only one of my jeans still fit, and only the shirts of mine I do not really care for fit me still as well. I was thinking that my wardrobe is sadly something I really do cherish. To think that it will go unused for the next 6 months makes me sick. Think about how lonely you would be if you had to hang on a hanger in the same spot untouched, still loved, but again untouched..for 6 months! If anyone wants to rent my clothes for the next 6 months...I would be fine with that. I would take me up on my offer..just sayin.

Today I was driving to Menomonie to visit a good friend of mine that I miss dearly. Regardless, I had to drive by a chicken farm and the smell literally made me vomit..as I was driving. I had to reach over and grab an arby's bag from who knows when and ralph inside it. And I would just like to let you know that the smell of the contents inside the arby's bag didn't exactly help the process.

Ooooo update about the doctors appointment! That was on wednesday, the 15th. It was quite the short visit, but I got to see the progress of my little meatball. It was TWICE the size!! The doctor says "maybe we can get this little guy to move around for you..." no luck for about 2 minutes and then all of a sudden it started doing gymnastics it seemed!!! I can't wait until I can actually feel that...but for the time being it was really exciting to see on the screen.

I really have this urge lately to color..with crayons. I think its been a very very long time..and I probably would be sick of it after 5 minutes...but I still want to try.

I'm freezing my ass off and it is almost the end of July. There is something wrong with this.

I purchased some new facewash yesterday..a burts bee's kind. Regardless..boy oh boy did that burn my face this morning. It literally felt like lava. Well at first it felt normal..then a slight burning sensation..and I thought to myself..ooooh this is kind of nice. Joke is on me because within seconds my face was an erupting volcano!!!!!!!!!! I had to wash that shit off immediately. The funny thing is...I'm still going to use it until its empty. Money doesn't grow on trees people!

Jessie Walton...I was going to comment on your blog but it wasn't working. Hopefully you'll read this and this is what I have to say. If you eat straight fruit for 3 days it will not send you to the toilet. Fiber makes you go to the bathroom...yes...and fruit has a lot of fiber. This is if you eat fiber in moderation. If you eat 3 days of only fruit you will actually get the reversed effect and get constipated as all get out. I know from previous knowledge..and experience. To elaborate.. I knew that a lot of fiber makes you constipated...but lately I've been so desperate to go that I was willing to try anything. I ate SOOOO much fruit contained with SOOOO much fiber....it actually made my condition worse :( SO DON'T DO IT! If you actually want to cleanse your body, there are other ways of going about it...but we can talk about that in person.

Okay i'm sick of writing now..and am going to attempt to fall asleep. Wish me luck!!!!

On a side note, it was REALLY great to see my brother today and I hope I get to see my sister tomorrow and I can't wait to see my Mom this week!!!

blah blah blee bloop bloop

So I'm basically writing this blog because I'm the definition of procrastination. I have a chemistry final tomorrow at 6pm, and also a take home chemistry exam due at 6pm as well. Do you think I am done with my take home exam? nooooo. Do you think I have started studying for my chemistry final? nooo. Okay okay okay before you start thinking that this is ridiculous of me, I just want to state that for one...I am ALMOST complete with my take home exam...and ALSO..the final that I have to take in class is mostly multiple choice...and ALL questions from previous exams. Its called...just memorize all previous exams duh! Easy as pie. Regardless, let me update you about a few things going on in my life.
1. I am obsessed with Donkey Kong on super nintendo. Super Nintendo is really the only nintendo I play. All other nintendo systems such as Xbox 360, or playstation or even stinkin Nintendo 64 all have way to ridiculously complicated controllers. I don't need that jazz. How am I supposed to absolutely dominate in a game if I am constantly looking at the controller trying to figure out which button is which. I tried to play a game once on Xbox 360 and it was honestly like this... push up, then Z, then the trigger, then A to look to the right. What the hell is that?? Regardless, Donkey kong is my love. I have played hours upon hours of this game in the last week. It is addicting, and I'm pregnant so what else have I got better to do on a friday night then play donkey kong for 6 hours? It has only mildly interfered with my life. For example, this morning/afternoon my alarm started going off at around 12pm. I thought to myself...naaaaah I don't REALLy need to get up this early to take a shower I'm going to push snooze a couple times. A couple times went by and I still couldn't get up. A half hour went by and I STILL couldn't get up. So then at around 12:30 my alarm went off again and I thought to myself...man I could really use some Donkey Kong before I go to work. I think I got up within 2 seconds. No, I did not manage to get around to taking a shower this morning but I did pass a freaking hard level of donkey kong that has been kicking my rear end. Okay so I'll just admit this right now..maybe Donkey Kong is slightly taking over my life. It could be worse people, I could be addicted to meth! Anyways, so Spencer stayed over last night..and when I woke up he wasn't here. I was like what the hell?? So I called him and he was like..Caitlin are you serious? I had to leave at 4am because you could not stop talking about Donkey Kong in your sleep. Oooooooopsies :) It couldn't have been THAT bad for him to leave...but apparently I was pretty adamant about narrarating my donkey kong dream that took place from midnight to 4am apparently. Its not like I could help it.
-Soooo I'm moving home in a couple days. Odd feeling really. I am excited to be around my family but on the otherhand I am sad to leave my place here in Milwaukee that I have grown to be so fond of. At least I'll have a place to stay when I want to come back and visit.
-Tonight at work I ate 4 fruit roll ups in a matter of 2 minutes and vomitted shortly after but it was worth it. I really like fruit roll ups in the fridge.
-Tonight at work I raced one of my favorite residents down the hall in a wheelchair. Well she is in a wheelchair too, but I sat in a wheelchair and raced her down the hall. I let her win don't worry :) But I can honestly maneauver ridiculously good in those things believe me.
-I still haven't pooped. Save me.
-My next doctors appointment is Wednesday and I cannot WAIT!!!!!!!!
-If anyone wants to come over right now and finish my take home chemistry exam I will give you one dollar. One dollar is literally all I have. It might be worth it? I'll tell you some jokes.
-Okay fine I will go work on my chemistry.

A Pain in the Keester

Greetings fellow humans,

I just would like to ramble on about a few things that are currently a pain in the keester.

-I cannot poop to save my life. Honestly, is it asking that much to just drop a few kids off at the pool every now and again? I wake up in the morning and I can't get comfortable and all day I feel as if my entire stomach is made of concrete. Any suggestions of something I can eat/drink that won't give me a mad case of the squirts?

-I break every stinking pair of earrings of mine that are expensive. I got a pair of Opalite earrings from my Dad for christmas that were my faaaaaavorite pair of earrings. Don't worry, those cracked and broke SOMEHOW. I mean, i can super glue them, but they are see through like..so either way they are going to look dumb. Just yesterday, I had a pair in carved out of wood that are my newest pair. Don't worry, they just freaking broke out of no where. Now those I can super glue and it won't be as noticeable.

-This is just a side note of the above comment. I was provided with a little bottle of super glue from a friend, and it was super glued shut. As if that wasn't enough to irritate me...a couple days later the super glue MAGICALLY leaked on my really nice freaking coffee table, making a mark on it as well as taking a chunk of the wood off. COOL. When I went to grab it quickly, I got super glue all over my hands. I rushed to the sink to rinse it off and I got most of it off but I had a luscious fine overglaze of white all over my hands. (This is an example of my really good luck)

-Why can't Mcdonalds serve their absolutely delightful breakfast burritos all day long? I mean..I worked there before, and I know that it wouldn't be that difficult to serve them all day. Instead, I have to set my alarm for 10am, wake up....contain all feelings of vomitting, drive to Mcdonalds, purchase breakfast burritos with hot picante sauce mind you, store them in fridge, then go back to sleep. Upon further awakening I reheat the luscious breakfast I oh so crave on a daily basis, and enjoy more then I could ever describe. Point being....PLEASE MCDONALDS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE START SERVING THESE BURRITOS ALL DAY!!!

-My phone seriously sucks. It cost a lot of money and yet it sucks. I don't get it. You would think that if you bought a nice phone, it should also work nicely. Joke is on me because that is definitely NOT the case. For one...lately my text messages get sent off into never ever land and never actually reach the person in which I'm sending it to. Why is this happening? It really beats me but I'm sick of it. For two, it freezes all the time so then I have to restart it. Not only do I have to restart it, but I have to restart it by taking the battery out because it doesn't work to just try to turn it off then back on. I have gone to T-Mobiledumbidiots numerous times complaining about this situation but apparently if you pay a lot of money for a phone and it sucks asshole, you pretty much have to have a million things wrong with it to get anywhere..not just one thing wrong with it...or 5 for that matter.

-I think that every pregnant person should have a personal massager for free. The requirements being that they show up daily, preferably in the morning, and do a full body massage no charge no tips no questions asked.

-As disgusting as it would be, a foley catheter would not be a bad option while being pregnant. I literally go to the bathroom a million times a day. It gets rather old, and toilet paper is not cheap. Well you can buy the cheap stuff, but then when you use it, it just sticks to you so what really is the point. Last night I counted how many times I had to get up to use the bathroom. Seven. Seven stinking times. For one, that is just really interrupting my sleep. For two, that is a lot of water used from flushing that many times during the night. (Not that I really mind for my landlord pays for water not I). This just gets me thinking...how many gosh darn times will I be getting up during the night when the baby is actually using my bladder as a pillow? A trillion? A quatrillion? Either way..I think it goes without saying that I am soooo looking forward to that.

I think I am done now, but I actually probably forgot a few things. Regardless, if I think of them, I will surely let you know. In the meantime, buckle up, recycle, and love mother nature.
Yours Truly and Constipatedly,
Caitlin

SURPRISE!!!!!!!!

This is me, approximatly 8 weeks pregnant. What a stinkin surprise eh?? You are telllllling me! Life likes to throw curve balls my way...usually on a daily basis, which is exactly how my luck works. However, I like to consider this curve ball one that I have caught, accepted, and am even excited about! I never had any signs or symptoms of being pregnant until probably a month into my pregnancy. I admit, I was sleeping a ridiculous amount (12-14 hours a night) but I thought that was just because I could! Monday, June 8th is when the first lightbulb lit up in my head and really made me start to think that something was up with my body. Definitely felt sick when I woke up, and definitely felt as if I was bloated like none other. I let it go a couple days and then Wednesday, June 10th after work, I decided I would drive all over stinkin Milwaukee to find a Walgreens that was open to buy a home pregnancy test. It actually was a hard task..and finally my roomie Emily who knows where EVERYTHING is in Milwaukee, guided me to a 24 hour Walgreens. I got home and set the bag with the 2 pack of the home pregnancy tests on my floor and thought to myself...I'll just give that a little while because I'm not too sure I actually want to take those bad boys. I sat on my computer just lolly gagging, looking at pictures that kind of jazz. I felt as if the bag containing the pregnancy tests was haunting me. I could hear in my head "taaaaaaaaake me taaaaaaaake me!" So I had to do it. It was 1am roughly when I made the trek to the bathroom...which usually seems like a couple steps away but in this case it seemed like the walk of death! I took the test and waited not patiently for the results. It was the first response tests where one line means you are not pregnant, and two lines means you are. As I was sitting there, the first line showed up and I was like.....phew! That was a close one. Little did I know, the second line would be appearing in a matter of seconds. The second line appeared and I believe my eyeballs got as big as softballs. "Ohhhh my gosh this can't be right this can't be right!" I ran to my room to grab the other pregnancy test to take immediatley after that. That one was positive too. I sat in my room in complete disbelief. I thought to myself, "my mom is going to murder me" I of course got absolutely NO sleep that night. I text my sister in the middle of the night and told her to call me as soon as she woke up!!!! She called me at around 7am. I heard my phone ring and I had JUST fallen aslelep an hour before so it took me awhile to decide if I was going to answer it or not. I just had to! So I told my sister...sobbing my eyes out of course, and I think she was in disbelief just like I was. She talked me through everything and made me feel a tad better about the situation. "just take it day by day caitlin and don't worry so much about what mom is going to say...right now" I tell my mom EVERYTHING. Literally, everything. Probably a majority of the things I tell her she wishes she didn't know. Regardless, I could not keep this huge huge secret from my mom. I realized that it was in my best interest to drive home to Woodville to tell my parents in person. I told my mom I wanted to come home for the weekend and hang out with her. She was all excited about it..and I added in there that I wanted to chat with her about some stuff. Very non chalant, right? She did not seem to think so. She knew that I wouldn't have to drive 4 hours to talk to her about "some stuff." I had my mom worried for a week and a half about what the heck I was going to tell her. She texts me, are you a lesbian? Are you quitting school? Are you pregnant? Is it your health? Did you get fired? I just told her she would have to wait to find out, and as the days went out she got more and more irritated with the situation. Finding out I was pregnant gave me a whirlwind of emotions let me tell you. For one, I had to quit smoking cold turkey. I've been wanting to quit smoking for a very long time, but never have REALLY tried. Well, I'd like to tell 1-800-QUITNOW that all you have to do to quit smoking is get pregnant! That worked very well for me! I never went outside to smoke a cigerette when I was at home, or at work. I just always smoked when I was driving. It became more like a habit to me then an addiction. My first drive to work from Milwaukee to Waukesha the day after I found out I was pregnant was a nightmare. I got into my car and instantly just wanted to grab a cig and light it. Well obviously I couldn't. I started driving down the road and just started crying. Hysterically. Almost to the point of having to pull over. Not JUST because I couldn't have a cig, but because I realized that everything in my life was changed. Instantly, just like that. The next week and a half went by SOOOOO slow and it was killing me to keep this secret from my mom!!! Friday came along and I knew it was the day to tell my parents. How scary mary. I knew they would be supportive regardless, but it was just going to be hard to tell them that I wouldn't be able to do my internship for another year. (My internship consists of 100% Radiology, lets get real here). I got home and my mom could tell right away that I was soooo nervous. She even made my sister come over and sit next to her while I told her. My mom started crying before I even told her...I was thinking to myself...oooooh great this is going to be bad. The thought occured in my mind that maybe I should consider putting on some running shoes for when she chases me around the streets of Woodville with her hands in the air screaming! She cooled her jets a bit and then right as I began telling her I started crying my eyes out! I looked up at her and she has a mild smile on her face. Wait a second here....whats going on here. I'll take a DVD from my mom without asking and she will not talk to me for a whole week because she is so mad. But I tell her I'm pregnant and she gives me a little smile???!?!?! She was obviously in shock but was instantly supportive. We started talking about what I was planning on doing and little by little everything started falling into place. She thought that I was driving home to tell her that I stole her Sex and the City Series and sold them on E-bay for money. LOL! It literally felt like a million pounds was lifted off my shoulders after I had finally told my mom this deep dark secret I had kept from her for a week and a half. Off to my Dad's house. Jeez louise, as if telling ONE parent wasn't hard enough, I had a whole nother one to go! As I approached my Dad's house I wasn't nervous a bit. I walked inside and my father and I just started chit chatting as usual. We went upstairs because he had to show me something on the computer. As we were sitting there he goes, soooo are you going to tell me? I was like what the hell! Tell you what I have nothing to tell you where did that come from? And he said, You're pregnant! What in the, how the hell did you know that dad!?!? He goes, I just had a feeling. I was going to ask you 2 weeks ago but I didn't want to say anything. If he would have, I probably would have freaked out considering even I didn't know then! During the week and a half that I kept this secret from my parents, my dad had called me one morning to simply ask, "are you behaving" Oh of course I'm behaving dad!!!! That was that. I had told my parents and now the journey was ready to begin. My mood swings are in full boar currently, and its rather irritating. Then again, what isn't irritating to me at this point. One minute I'll be sooo happy and the next minute I'll be so mad I'll start crying. I have this tendancy to snap at people, and even Max got a little taste of that this past weekend. Honestly people, I can't help it. Anyhow, just yesterday I went to my first doctors appointment. I wanted to know how far along I was and when I was due!! The nurse asked me when my last missed period was..."I have no idea" Then she asked me roughly the last one I remember was "I have nooooo idea" She then told me it wasn't a big deal because the doctor would be giving me an ultrasound anyways, and then they could figure it out that way! How exciting!!! I couldn't wait! I was laying there on the table with the hideous gown on. The doctor came in and we chatted a bit and then he said we could do the ultrasound! He turned the machine on and I saw the normal ultrasound picture, but of course there was no baby on it. Two seconds later my little baby popped up on the screen!!! I feeling indescribable! I could see the little heart beating. My little bundle of joy looked sooooo perfect! The doctor said that I was 8 weeks along and my due date was February 4th! Maybe I'll hold on to the little one for 11 days longer and have it on my birthday!! What a present! I am soooo excited!!! I know this was horrible timing, and I know this was definitely something I was not prepared for. However, the happiness this situtation has brought me is not something I could ever describe to someone. I'm gonna be a mom!!! (I can only hope my mothering skills will be as good as my moms!)

ha ha... suckas!

You thought I was done talking but the truth of the matter is that I still have more things I would like to say I think. Let me get them off my chest:
1) someone please tell me how to add pictures to a blog
2) I realize that it says I have 2 blogs, but the other one I never use..and I started it like such a long time ago to the point that I forgot I already created one, so I just created a new one. Someone please tell me how to delete the blog that is actually extremely irrelevant?

Thats it. I would give anything in the world to eat a bowl of cookie crisp cereal. oooo its soo stinkin good, believe me. Tomorrow I work. I had the last 2 days off and I seriously did not even know what to do with myself. I am excited to see the residents :) Especially Persis, my favorite lady in the WHOOOOLE world. She invented NRA <-- nice round ass. Okay now I'm done talking I think.

Midnight madness!

It actually is not midnight, it is 12.52 am. I am up because.....? Well good question actually. My body has developed this very absurd sleeping pattern. When school was in session I would sleep from one in the morning until seven in the morning every night. I barely got any sleep, especially when I turned 21 :) Regardless, now that I am not in school and all I do is work PM shift (2:30 to 10:30) I sleep so stinkin much. I go to sleep around like 1am or 2am, but I sleep until 1 in the afternoon straight through!!! I have never got this much sleep in my life and I am loving every second of it! Just thought I would share that.
Tonight I was reading through the summary of the next 2 years of my life, literally. I am starting an internship in September, and the program directors gave me a packet that explains every minute I'm there for the next 2 years. Cooooooool. I'm the kind of person who likes to live life at the seat of my pants, and for a very obvious reason, this whole knowing exactly whats going to happen thing does not tickle my fancy. I need adventure! I need tons of energy! I need Excitement! <-- I would just like to state that currently my life has none of the above, but you have to look at the glass half full instead of half empty! In case you were curious, I am listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Not anymore I just changed it. But whenever I randomly hear a Red Hot Chili Peppers song I always think to myself that I need to listen to them more. I have this problem where I only listen to like a minute of each song and then I change it. How fucking annoying is that? I mean its fine when I'm in the car by myself because then I can just change the song with a very carefree nature. When someone is in the car I find it very challenging to hide this very dumb foolish habit of mine. I sit and think to myself "ooh man I really wish I could change it" about 50 times.
