This Weeks Articles: CNA Life

Instead of posting each article every time I write something, I decided to do 1 or 2 posts a week with all the articles in them. I am still working on my salad series of articles and hope to have them up and done this weekend. (Wish me luck!)

The Articles I have done so far are (You can read them by clicking on the titles)

Top Five CNA Jobs That Suck

What Does a CNA Do? 

I also have more ideas about CNA Life but if you have any ideas or questions, please let me know! I'll be happy to write an article for it.

Love ya! Will update with more pictures later. (We're going to Hollywood, CA tomorrow!)

Miles at the world's largest grindstone. Why did they build this?

Mom and kids under the elephant tree

We found the elephant tree!

Miles and Dad posed for a picture. Mendel 2.0 was too exhausted.

Heeheehee

I got a lot of up close pics that I like.

To entertain myself, I took the camera and snapped about 2,000 pics or so.

Note to self: The desert is FREAKING HOT!!! I tend to forget that. I am paying for it today. At least we remembered water.

And then we went hiking through the desert in search of Elephant trees.

While the kids watch, Dad plays a little round of some shooting spaceship game.

At a stop? Waiting for the family to recover from car sickness? What do you do? Break out the trusty laptop and play a few rounds on your shoot em up game LOL

Here's a better picture of Miles. We were all car sick at this point so he isn't exactly smiling.

3 guys camping

Here's a better pic :)

All three guys

Here's all 3 guys at the camp site. I think it was dinner time.

Miles laughing at me.

Here's a pic of Miles laughing at me. We're setting up camp. Can't remember what I said but he really laughed good!

Mendel 2.0 with a Blooming Cactus

Mendel 2.0 went hiking with his dad. Here is a cactus they found with a beautiful bloom.

Marmaduke Not Allowed

I saw this sign and had to giggle. We were in the Anza-Borrego Desert at the time. First that popped into my head was "Great Danes not allowed? Wow, that's very specific." LOL

We made it to San Diego!

We made it safely to San Diego. We slept in the van along the way. I really love my van :) But someday I would love to have a small RV that is road worthy. I can dream! I'll update more later.

We're getting ready to head out again

We are packing the van and getting ready to head out again. We have our Rand McNally 2010 the Road Atlas all ready to go. We're packing our clothes and we'll be heading out. No Verizon Wireless Navigator this time. All atlas and google maps. LOL I'll be updating while we are on the road. If I can't update here you can follow me on twitter.

I've been so close to tears all day

It's been an emotional day for me for some reason. 

A few weeks ago a guy (23) died by suicide.

A high school kid, only 17, crashed and died this weekend. The car he crashed into had 3 people in it, a 12 and 13 year old and a 59 year old. 

Layla Grace passed on about 19 hours ago. 

I am consumed thinking about Patrick, my friends son who has stage 4 cancer.

I had a resident break down and cry last night. I sat with her for 30 minutes listening to her sob about a husband that left her years ago for "a floozy" (I used the nice version) and how much she loved him and how much she'd do for him. She sobbed that she didn't understand and she didn't do anything wrong. I cried with her. I didn't know what to say, so I just dried her tears, told her how wonderful she is, gave lots of hugs and tucked her into bed. 

Man, that is so sad! And just one thing I can handle. But this is just all at once. Everything! The shit bucket bottom opened up and all the crap fell on me. 

I want to write so bad today but I keep tearing up and getting all fleklempt. 

I'm ready for something different. Let me be specific... something POSITIVE.

AntiVirus Soft- The Bitch of all Viruses!

After many frustrating hours, my computer is clean again and functioning properly. Here is the article I wrote about how to get it off your computer. All other forums online did not help.

AntiVirus Soft is a virus. This guide tells you how to get it off your computer.

The worst thing about this virus is that it reinstalls itself and disables everything you need to fight it. I finally got it though.

Hey, Mendel... See, all those computer skills came in handy. You're Welcome :)

What do you think of the new look?

What do you think of the new look for the blog? I am trying to figure out the heading area. But for now, I think that's just adorable! And I can change it when I want to now :) I just think it's SO CUTE!
