Happy Day

I had a wonderful day today. Woke up in a good mood... tired... but in a good mood. I felt at ease on my impending Head-to-toe Physical Assessment test that I had to do on my partner (we hadn't practice on each other at all but I had practice on my friend, JoAnna, tons) If I didn't pass the test then I wouldn't be going to clinicals. I did very well. I forgot to check skin turgor and breast exam (consisted of inspecting to see the breast were symmetrical and asking pt if she has any nipple discharge, scars, rashes under the breast). Instructor said that I could be her nurse any day... awwww.

When I came home today there were books on my doorstep and they weren't for Hayden or Ellie.... Yay! I know I shouldn't have my signed up for Good Cook Book Club but I did. I received Rachael Ray Yum-o Family cookbook and Ellie Krieger cookbook The Food You Crave. The recipes in both books look delicious. The kids are going to starting 'cooking' a meal once a week. Well, help cook a meal once a week and they will picking out the recipe, making the grocery list, and buying the groceries, etc. I tend to do too much for Hayden and he should start to learn how to cook and follow recipes. Gotta teach them young. ;-) Then maybe he will have a better appreciation for all the cooking I do the rest of the days. Hahaha.

I am excited about The Food You Crave cookbook. I fell in love with Ellie Krieger when I would go over to Grandma's on Friday to help her with her garden and afterwards we would watch the Food Network. All her recipes are so fresh and yummy looking... plus she looks fresh and healthy which leans me to believe that she eats healthy like that in her own life. I want healthy glowing skin like hers. ;-)

I am rejuvenated with new recipes in hand and the confidence that I am able to do this Nursing thing.

I definitely need to make a prayer of thanksgiving for my women's LifeGroup for praying for me. God is good!
