Yes, I'm still here! It's been a long time since I posted. I'm working in Peds again and I love it most days! It's never the children who get to me-we'll that's not completely true, but it's usually their screwed up, idiot parents that make my nights miserable!
I'm still a die hard Flyers fan & having a partial ticket plan has been great this season. My family has not changed either except for I'm not the one with broken bones or in a cast this time-Thank God! Gotta Go off to help a little one out.
I'm really going to try and blog more often this year, I've missed everyone! Take Care and Be Safe!

Murphy's Law of Nursing
Here are just a few of my Murphy's Law of Nursing
1. Never bring anything to work that you need to get done!
Over the years I always see many nurses coming to work with an extra bag of things, like crafts, bills to write out, children's projects, addressing Christmas cards etc....
I have learned on the nights that I would bring in things like that to finish up....it would be a horrible night! Whether I worked in in ICU or labor and deliver my bag would sit there....NOTHING ever gets done, so honestly do not bother!!
2. Dr.'s are horrible at saying, "I was wrong, you were right", no explanation needed there!!
That is it for now....Oh I forgot, if you like the Foo Fighters like myself, they are going to be playing at the Bamboozle Festival in May in New Jersey with Bon Jovi and Blink 182:-)

Not much new here.... I'm apologizing in advance
Hello All,
Nothing new to report here, well there are a few things but until I take #1 to the Dr.'s tomorrow I will not know the how bad his injury is....so for right now I'm leaving it at that!!
All I really want to report is, " Sometimes you are the windshield, and sometimes you are the bug......today I am the bug"..........

INSOMNIA-HAMSTSERS-THE BLOGGESS
Yes, it's time for one other quick post....well sort of........
I've mentioned in the past my horrible insomnia issues, and thank you to my husband who decided in the middle of the night to get up and go to the bathroom- that would be yesterday now, at 3am---I'm still awake!
So, in 2 hours I will be awake for now what is going to be 24 hours! Imagine that!!
Now my favorite Blogger- "The Bloggess" otherwise, known as Jenny, has the same issues with insomnia as I. Recently she was up all night googling shit...insomnia, and jet-lag after returning from a trip and found amazing information about hamsters on Viagra and how it lessened their jet lag by 50%!
Even though I read her blog about those hamsters and laughed my rear-end off...I never once thought again about those hamsters in the study or jet-lag or pretty much anything else, seeing that I am so freaking tired and ALL I want to do is sleep, but seriously cannot.....I described it as having Red Bull running through my veins, so tired I'm going too vomit but yet when I closed my eyes to read the inside of my eyelids, I can't...........
But starting around 3am last night (thank you again to my Otherhalf) until about 10:30am. I was a googling, insomnia, which lead me to all sorts of other things like circadian rhythm, jet-lag & delayed sleep stuff and shift worker syndrome etc.....
When I arrived at jet-lag via Wikipedia, damn......... if there really was not a study that was done on fucking hamsters and Viagra!!!
Of course I always believed Jenny, but that is some serious shit, really hamsters with hard-ons being flown around the world to look at jet-lag and recovery times?
Hopefully now that I have gotten that off my chest maybe I'll sleep-maybe not and I'll actually be like the first person to stay awake forever:-)
Who know, but stayed tune, because when I'm in this state of mind who the heck knows what I'll post....
Thank You again to all my new followers, why you follow me is beyond me, but I like that someone out there is reading this occasionally, hardly ever gives me any feedback & hopefully they do not think I'm too crazy:-)
Yours Truly,

The Mess--Has anyone seen my keys?
The House is a Mess, I would personally label it a State of Emergency, but hey that is just me!
We recently decided to finally fix the bathroom upstairs-it was gut down to the beams.
Hired a great guy and it looks beautiful. (Thanks Mr. FireMan)
Only problem is, we never take a break from one project to the next.
The bathroom is complete, at least in the other person eyes- the other part owner!
And their he goes ripping apart another room. Granted it's not like it does not need to be done, but heaven help me.
We have have lived in this house for 9 years this month and just when one room is finished, we are off to the next and before you know it, the first room we completed is looking , "not so hot," and wam-project #538 is started.
Now it the girls room, aahhh the girls room, pink, bows, hearts, and polka-dots ...aahhh--everything I always wanted! But do we really need to do it now?
Back to school around the corner, summer-projects due/uniforms to be bought? Both parent who work full-time/soccer...the list goes on and on
The Mess is unreal- started with -ripping wood-work out in one room to---Hey let's keep on going, let's take it into the hallway.
Did I mention this lovely young lady on 29yo, works nights and gets to come to a wood saw going off, the up and down the stairs, and then the nail-gun, ooppss don't let me forget compresser going off too- and then the lovely "thud", every few minutes?
The other half rotates too, so he goes in for night-shift today at 5pm until 9am, but he can get sleep at his job way more than any other profession that I know of.
Did I mention we are having a Big BBQ on Wednesday for #3's-4th Bday?
You are all welcomed to come, because what started out as a few family member is now at 30 plus.
Please bring the Potato Salad, and some alcohol, I'm going to need some.
Oohhh, yes--If anyone has seen either set of my keys, please email me at purplestinkyonion.com-I'd appreciate it!

Listening to the Foo Fighters way too much lately?
So, how do you know when you have been listening to the Foo Fighters way to much lately?
Early last week, I asked the two year old for something...I starting saying, "Over There" and pointing---which turned into, "There, There", when she started in her adorable Minney Mouse-high pitched voice and began to sing, "Dere dogoes my Werooo." Translates to,"There Goes My Hero".
She had to whole clan crackling up- wish I had my camera on to record it!

Our Pharmacy Sucks!
So, how was my night-shift? Does the title-mean anything to you?
What are your worst in-house pharmacy stories?
My night started off with scheduled medication that was missing---of course.
I called the pharmacy for a scheduled med due at 2000, at 1930- they said they would send up the Toradol STAT. STAT is now 2.5 hours later:)
I work in a Delivery Unit. My mother was post-op, and who was scheduled for Toradol for pain. Now the reason I and all the rest of us have been told- why it is taking so long for the medication to by sent up...is because Toradol is new to the formulary-even though it is a scheduled medication? Makes no sense to me- but whatever.
And having to wait the two, point 5 hours for it is crazy. Does the medication traveling from the same floor pharmacy go back down and through the center of the earth before it arrives, maybe stopping of at Hawaii first? Because if it does...I'm going on some crazy ass diet, so I can fit into that tubing system, I'd like to take that trip!
Okay, so this is a little off...but years ago I worked at a hospital where some nurse called to her friend on another unit, and she told her friend she made some great soup for dinner and then decieded to send her some through that tube system, well guess what ---it leaked and closed down the system for 3 weeks....what an ass!!!!!!!!!!
Early this morning the pharmacy department came up and wanted to know how things were working for us in our new lovely unit. My response, "can we get some Toradol added to our Pyxis?" There was a long pause on their part, this is where I should of- could of- kept my mouth shut, but I have a lot of opinions said, " It is easier to get crack than to get Toradol in this place, I can easily take the elevators down to the first floor, catch a cab, buy crack, come back and give it to the patient than to wait for your department to send it up, AFTER ALL, I heard Crack works for Post-op pain better than Toradol."
Did I mention, know one from the pharmacy department appreciated the comment, but every other -person in an ear shot started to laugh!
