work after effect

I had been working almost 2 months now. My work schedule is crazy, every other weekend I have to work and once a month I have 1 day work for 16 hrs. Isn't that insane? While at work I don't feel the effect but once home and finished shower, its the time that all the leg pains and tiredness come in full force.

I don't have so much time to update blogs nor put status messages on my fb wall. Doing household chores is a struggle. I don't feel like doing anything after work except relaxing--meaning staying in bed the whole time. I am exhausted. When I wasn't working yet, I felt so bored but now I can't wait for my days off to come so I can do the boring things I used to complain before. I have trouble sleeping during the night which makes my work days much more complicated and tiring. My husband said, "that's what I'm telling you beforehand." yeah right, were the words I can utter.

the peace offering

Nobody's perfect, same thing as no perfect relationships. If every relationships is perfect life could be so boring. Yes, my husband and I shared petty disagreements, what matters most is we manage to live beyond our imperfection. My friends see us as a perfect couple, but we are far from there. We clash then patch things up over and over again.

This week was one of the many weeks that our intelligent minds cross beyond each others limits. We argued and end up crying together because we were disappointed over silly things that we don't normally experience on a daily basis. When I realized that I already hurt my husband I simply shut up and didn't spoke to him to end the argument. Little did I know he felt the same way. He knew he hurt me so he bought me 2 dozen flowers for peace offering. I'm telling you all, I am stubborn.

All these events occur in a span of 2 hours. He said sorry but I didn't say a single word, then when the doorbell rang, it was a food delivery from our favorite Japanese restaurant. We'll I was hungry so I said let's eat so from then we spoke each other again LOL! How can you not lighten up if you get 24 red roses and food? He knew how to melt my heart.

Cheese Anyone?

 Some people like to cook baked foods with a light of cheese on them.  Well, who couldn't resist a recipe that needs cheese when it is always yummy?  Because, I vowed to make a change on our eating habits this year, I am now using light cheese on all the menus that I cooked which needs cheese.  There is not much difference taste-wise only that for me eating light cheese is healthier as it is made of low fat milk. Light cheese has 25% or more reduction in butterfat content which makes it a better choice.

I know that hubby likes to eat cheese string snacks every once in a while, that is why I buy him Sargento String Cheese.  Why I choose Sargento? I choose this brand because I can buy Sargento light string cheese snacks this means that I can the product for 50% less fat.

Like cheese?  Sargento brand is my choice, make it yours too! 

simple pleasures...friends and good food

I'll be out with friends today. AC is our destination to celebrate one of my friend's birthday. She'll treat us dinner @ Borgata Hotel and Casino. While the dinner is set at 4pm, we'll head down early so we have time to shop around the outlets and some camera whoring.

Last night, we were at my other friend's house, I brought fish and cook it in their house, so off we eat and had fun. I noticed that eating is always present in anything we do. Hmmm, my diet seems to be ruined if I will always go with the flow, good for them since they have faster metabolism than mine.

For tomorrow, my husband and I are heading up north. I have to send my package back home. I purposely send it through their cargo outlet in Bergenfield because they are way cheaper than their usual rate if they have to pick it up at home imagine they only charge $40 for the big box. I really have to send the winter clothes soon so my sister's family will have something to use when they migrate to New Zealand. I knew when they leave in June its going to be winter time in the southern hemisphere.

Comfortable Work Clothes

My job is not as easy as it seems.  For the first few weeks, I have to adjust to continuous standing.  I can only sit when I am doing reports.  Most of the time, I stand.  Who says being a nurse is easy?  Not me!

Anyway, everyday I wear nursing scrubs as my nursing uniform at work.  Before I started this job, I was able to go shopping.  I bought quite a number of nursing scrubs because I was anticipating a difficult time adjustment especially if I have to work extra hours.  I did have a complicated work schedule as I sometimes work double shifts.

Working is not easy at first but I learned to deal with it.  After over a month of working, I am adjusted to it already.  I am just thankful that I have extra pairs of uniforms that I can wear as I won't be forced to do laundry and ironing when I don't feel like doing them.

Motherhood: A Dream

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of CryoCell International. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have accomplished many things in life and I am enjoying every bit of my accomplishment yet life is still not complete.  My life still lacks something to complete me being a woman and wife.  I am yet to accomplish my biggest dream - to be a mother. 

I have been to different medical professionals and asked helped.  I went through different surgeries to increase my chances of getting pregnant.  Up until now, we are still not pregnant.  Our last resort will be doing the IVF.  I am ready to become a mother.  I have enough second hand experience in raising a child. 

Should we be blessed with a child, hubby and I decided that we will bank our child's cord for future use, if needed.  I have visited the websites www.Cryo-Cell.com  and  www.Cryo-Cell.net who offers blood cord banking and we are satisfied with their service.  For now, help me pray that my motherhood dream will be a reality.

Tile Cleaning

I remember before I got a job, I decided to clean up our basement.  I was doing intensive cleaning because hubby and I spend quite a lot of our time doing our exercise in our basement.  We actually converted our basement into some sort of gym and entertainment place and at the same time on the other side is our laundry area.

I am very "OC" when it comes to cleaning.  I think this is one of the areas that I am really good at.  Cleaning requires hardwork and a lot of your time especially if you are cleaning tiles.  I applied tile cleaning methods austin that I have read online.  It helped and it made my task easier.  I was really happy of the result.
