Today I had a meeting scheduled with a nurse at Morehead State University. Let me back track by saying I am going to be a clinical instructor for Morehead, my students will be doing clinicals at UK. I had to bring Lukas along for the ride. It rained the entire way there (a little over an hour). I park, "think" I'm in the correct spot ( I had NO clue where I was going!), get the stroller out, put Luke's coat on, get him in the stroller...well you know how it goes. Anyway, I made it to the meeting area, I set down and get Lukas situated. I'm then informed I parked in the incorrect spot and that I may be towed. Here I go back to the truck, park, walk back in to the building in the rain. Throughout the entire meeting Lukas was just being a little boy, but was talking (jibberish), running around in the room, threw his chicken nuggets in the floor and proceeded to tell me "no no" (as in, I'm not eating those), and continued on with all of this for around 45 minutes. I really didn't comprehend anything I was being told because I was focusing on Lukas (but again, I had no babysitter to cover my time at Morehead and continued to apologize to them). I asked ahead of time if it was okay to bring him, they said sure (I'm going to keep remembering that they said that, haha). So, at the end of the meeting Lukas figured out how to open the door, before I turned around he was halfway down the hall! I ran after him and he laughed, I had to laugh too because he thought it was so funny. We come back into the room, he cries because I won't let him open the door again. I was informed I had to go and get an ID badge filled out in another building...so back to the truck (loading, etc) we go.
We find the correct building, I do the whole unloading process, I had to park forever away, it was raining and I had no umbrella and I proceeded to say out loud, "Why is everything so hard for me?" Lukas had no clue what I was saying but laughed at me and we walked into the building. ALL students around us was talking to Lukas, waving at him--he was putting on a show for them. I found an information desk..."YES!!!" I thought to myself, he directed me to the room I was supposed to have my ID made. The lady asks for my name and then informed me I wasn't in the system, I had to go to HR, and I couldn't get my ID made today! I nearly lost it (not in front of her), but after I walked out of the room I nearly cried.
Long story short, I was informed to come back another day (by the way I can't because I work the next three and start working for them on Monday! On my way home I decided to treat myself to a LARGE Coke! I'm talking cup so big it's hard to hold it with one hand! I get a phone call (one of the phone calls I made during this process that the person on the other end was "hopefully" going to tell me what to do, but I had to leave a message because she didn't answer), it was her! It was actually good news and gave me a feeling of relief as she told me she can help me through the process, and help me get things taken care of. Praise God, I felt so much better after I talked to her. I keep thinking of my initial thought "Why is everything so hard for me?" I tend to make things hard on myself, and although things will end up working out, I was still so frustrated at myself! This verse will forever help me if I remember it in times of stress, or whenever I need to feel calmed:
"In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success"
Proverbs 3:6.
So, if I nearly would have prayed to God instead of saying "why does everything have to be so hard for me", I feel like things would have possibly went a little more smoothly for me. In all things I do, I should do them through Christ and he will lead the way :) I am now lying in my bed next to my baby boy while he naps, we are both calm as can be!
Dinner Last Night
I have to share a recipe I stumbled across from http://www.kevinandamanda.com/recipes/dinner/cheesy-chicken-bacon-avocado-quesadillas.html. I love quesadillas, and these have chicken, cheese, bacon, and alacado in them! I was so excited to make them, and they almost turned out as pretty as the ones you will see on the link above. Matt LOVED them, and ate the leftovers for lunch today. I plan on making them again, I actually cooked the chicken with jalapenos and then dipped it in jalapeno based Verde salsa, yummm!!
Deodorant can go anywhere?
To you the picture below is a picture of deodorant that goes UNDER your arms only!
To Lukas, this can go anywhere on your body! Lukas and I spent the afternoon cleaning my and Matt's room. I went through drawers, threw away old teeshrits/socks, and rearranged things. I walked into the kitchen to put a cup I had on my nightstand in the sink, came back, and noticed a different kind of smell. It smelled like Matt's deodorant, but I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Lukas is making noise in my closet so I walk over and find him holding his daddy's speedstick. He had the cap off and was gently putting it in his hair, I laugh and tell him where it's supposed to go and is for "daddy's". He then tried to put it on his neck and arms. I laughed so hard I cried. He was so proud of himself for "putting on deodorant", I had to call his nanna and tell her all about it.
Always, Kari
