Clark Girls

Tomorrow I get hard wood laminate flooring installed in my hallway and great room! I cannot wait! It is really going to update the house and make it look even better! I have been working like a dog and today is my first day off this week so I can finally focus back on the house. I have been helping Jake rip up the old carpet, tacking and pad but that is a lot of work for a girl who just worked 12 hours on her feet and hasn't had dinner! Not that I am complaining, I am just stating. I will be very happy to have all of our flooring done so we can finish up moving in! I mean you just aren't moved in until your living room is ready! Plus Travis and Brittany from Nashville are coming so I really have a lot to do! But I do get to take a break and have lunch with my mom tomorrow which I am looking forward to and I am definitely thinking I am need of a pedicure pretty badly! Maybe that will happen sometime this weekend, but for some reason I doubt it! Man! I am done working for the week so today totally feels like Friday, when really it is only Wednesday.

Did I tell you that today was my first day working off of orientation? Well it was and it went just swell. Most of the morning ran as per usual, feeding babies, changing diapers, rounds with the doctors and so on and so forth. Then things started getting busy because we were having some deliveries. So I am helping a few of the other nurses with their feedings and what not and I finally get everything finished up at 6:53, just enough time to run to the potty real fast before I have to give report to night shift. Well on my way to the little girls room I walk by one of my babies and I see that she is completely not in the position I have left her, her diaper is off and she is mooning me. I almost die laughing and i have to pull another nurse over to laugh about it with me. Well I decided it wasn't so funny when I flipped her over to reposition this puny 3 pounder and release that her tiny ostomy bag has come off and there is liquid poo everywhere. It is not 6:57. Crap (literally), being the new girl I don't feel comfortable just leaving it to the night shift so I gather my supplies really quickly and get things going when I remember that this is really much easier with a friend. I look around, and I see no one. GREAT. Well I struggle with it for awhile and i see nightshift rolling in. Well everyone is quickly caught up in report and here I am with this dinky little thing and poo squirting everywhere out of her stoma (more info later if you don't know about ostomies and stomas-- although it may be better not knowing). Luckily after a little more struggling I flag someone down. It definitely wasn't my best work but I got the job done. Phew. What a way to end the day. Lordy Lordy. 3 pound babies can be the biggest trouble makers! She is still so stinkin cute though it is hard to not love her!
