Well, dear blog readers, I did it again. I can't believe how working nights makes me want to sleep a good 14-16 hours a night at least once a week, but it does. I managed after getting home from seeing Prince Caspian (good movie, BTW) to fall asleep at 3:3o in the morning and not wake up until 5:50 yesterday evening...just in time to get ready for work. I feel a lot of times like my life is completely disorganized and that I can't keep track of my days very well. Hopefully this will improve with a little more routine this summer.
As for other news, do you ever have those moments in public where something embarrassing happens (it could be anything from excess gas to tripping and hitting yourself on some foreign object) and you look around in hopes that no one has noticed? If you have had these moments before, are you the type of person who merely tries NOT to look around and pretend that everything is cool, ("Nothing to see here," you say to yourself,) or do you suddenly go red and start apologizing quickly for your mishap? I'm curious to see how my blog readers respond in these types of scenarios since most of our nurses have very different responses in a number of these situations.

The life and times of a nurse, her husband, their tiny children, and their every-day adventures.
A Life Defined
A neonatal ICU-loving RN; a messy "home chef" in the making; a wanna-be gardener; a reader of good historical fiction; a lover of good gourmet food; someone whose spouse makes her laugh every day; a novice quilter; a woman who regularly gets her oil changed; a procrastinator of getting the mail; an envier of gingerbread-house-makers; a rusty pianist; an insomniac who cooks and does laundry when she can't sleep; an officianado of sleeping late ("jet lag" is routine when you work nights); a longing traveller who hopes to be able to see more of the world someday; a person who wishes she could draw or paint and will maybe take lessons someday; a singer/dancer when the blinds are drawn and no one is home while doing household chores; but mostly just a normal human being in need of God's grace everyday.

Depends on the situation. I usually try to make a joke of it. It's hard to just ignore it.
I think I usually say something, just incase someone is around and so that I make it known that I DID do something stupid.
UGh. I do stupid stuff all the time! I just laugh at myself now. There's no way to hide it sometimes. I blame it on the fact that I have two children and that I only get about 5 hours of sleep each night therefore my mind (and body) has turned to mush. What are you gonna do?
