Procrastination...

I really better get started...

Two weeks til a new school year!

This is the first year in 5 years that we haven't all been going back!

Mr. Rocketgirl was done this past winter.

The boys {crush my little heart},

grade 7 & 4.

WHAT THE HECK??????

And Doula school awaits me...

Can someone please tell me where summer went????

Anne & I are on nightshift...

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

Back to School!

I will miss the boys!

Not looking forward to 5 early mornings a week,

but am looking forward to some me time.

Now I just need to get on that back to school shopping...ugh!

I had a Holly Hobbie lunch kit when I was wee...the awesome metal kind.

Wonder where that went....

Beautiful Judy

The end is near...

Tuesday Tuesday...

Well, it has certainly been awhile since a middle of the night post....

nightshift post.

This is the hour I dread. 

0400h. 

It's the nauseating hour. 

Then comes 0500h. 

The punchy hour.

The one where everything seems funny.  But really, it isn't.

Then comes 0600h...
many things to do before my replacement comes in at 0715h

Then at 0900h the boys have swimming lessons.

And then at 1030h, I can go to sleep!

And then, at 1700h (if I'm lucky enuf to sleep that long)
I get up for work again.

Last night before days off...

HALLELUJAH!

Perhaps I will "encourage" my student to take on another patient tonight  :)

Monday Monday.....

What a PLEASANT surprise!

I woke up today to a Blogger Award for this blog!

And one for Love, Balance, Peace...a journey  as well!

This is my award from the ever lovely Joyce over at

I Love Pretty Little Things!

The Versatile Blogger!

Yay!

So it looks like I need to list 7 things about myself, a condition of the award...YIKES!

7 things you may or may not know...

(1) Ms. C & I have our own little baking company, it's called TLC which stands for Tasty Little Confections

(2) I am a nurse, as is Ms. C (TLC...get it? yes? makes sense now?)

(3) I got the name Rocketgirl after a wacky nightshift from R over at Brokeshopaholic's Possibilities and Ms. C  (hooligans those two...)

(4) I feel "connected" to the people that I blog with, & some of them I have never even met!

(5) I change my toenail polish at LEAST once per week

(6) I haven't had "naked" toenails since I was young, maybe 10 years old...so about 15 years ago ;)

(7) I. LOVE. COFFEE.

Oodles of thanks for this award Joyce! and now I pass on this blog award...

 to 3 more blogs!

Pinecone Camp

Birdie Blue

Every Little Thing

How on earth do I pick three blogs? I love all the blogs I read...

Happy Monday to you!

Matryoshka Pretties!

SHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of my freakin live long life, I have wanted, desired and longed for a full, proper and beautiful set of Russian Nesting Dolls. I'm not even kidding.

My whole life.

I would have settled for a perfect set of 6? 5? 4 even....

Ms. Cupcake & I were out thrift shopping on Thursday 

(...I'm sorry...I have to shreeeeeeeeeeeek again!)

and we found a glorious & beautiful Matryoshka!

She is blue & gold & perfect. With each doll, we found a new one inside!

Oh the giggles! I was OVER THE MOON!

6 perfect nesting dolls! My heart was racing & Ms. C laughed at me!

So I get home...and gingerly take each doll out...6...7...8...NINE!

Are you freakin kidding me????????? WAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

And then Mason, who is now as enamored by them as I, says....

Mom, this one has a line around the middle.....
with much difficulty,

I opened the tiny 9th doll opened to reveal a 10th,

the most miniature matryoshka I have ever seen.

10 perfect nesting dolls. This set is SPOTLESS, chipless,
she looks virtually untouched.

I would have paid 30? 50 bucks for this? Oh yes.

But do you know what I paid?????

ONE DOLLAR!

(doing happy babushka dance!)  LOOK! LOOK!

Tell me, go ahead & tell me how beautiful they are!

No No, you don't have to! I already know!

Happy Friday Pretties to you all!

I hope you stop by and say hi to Joyce @ I Love Pretty Little Things

who hosts this lovely party each week!

for you...
