[Link] | Brain Lateralization Test Results | Right Brain (50%) The right hemisphere is the visual, figurative, artistic, and intuitive side of the brain.
Left Brain (48%) The left hemisphere is the logical, articulate, assertive, and practical side of the brain

Are You Right or Left Brained?(word test) personality tests by similarminds.comLeft brain dominant individuals are more orderly, literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven. Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, organization, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively. Overall you appear to have fairly Equal Hemispheres ---------------------------------------- - According to Darwinian theory, optimal evolution takes place with random variation and selective retention. The evolution savvy individual will try many different approaches when faced with a problem and select the best of those approaches. Many historical intellectuals have confessed their advantage was simply considering/exploring/trying more approaches than others. The left brain dominant type suffers from limited approaches, narrow-mindedness. The right brain dominant type suffers from too many approaches, scatterbrained. To maintain balanced hemispheres, you need to exercise both variability and selection. Just as a company will have more chance of finding a great candidate by increasing their applicant pool, an individual who considers a wider set of options is more likely to make quality decisions. |

Kids make you sick! (there, are you happy)
Kids make people sick!
Okay.. I don't mean my kids make me sick, well wait I will get there.
Little kids who do not wash their hands after sneezing, coughing, and going to the bathroom make people sick. They make my kids sick. My kids make my mother sick, and eventually me too. Let's start with Wednesday night.
Michael and I took Madison to see Disney Princess Classics on Ice Wednesday night. On the way home she was saying how he stomach hurt. I just assumed it was the fact that it was 10pm, she had a bunch of soda, and she wanted attention. So when she got home she put her jammies on and headed to bed, still saying her "tummy" hurts. So I leave Michael's house and head back to the apartment, to arrive to a 59 year old saying "my tummy hurts."
My mother informs me that she is not feeling well, and will not be able to watch Nicky in the morning. I check her temp and she is running a fever of 101.2. So she heads to bed and I head to bed... end of story. So I decide that I will have to go in late so I can find someone to watch Nicky.
6am comes, and I wake to call work, and I hear my mom in the bathroom, throwing up. I'll stop with the details right there. So now I know that she is really sick, not just not feeling well. I plan on getting back up around 7:30 to find a sitter for Nicky. When I wake I call Michael who informs me that Nicky is not well, nor is Madison. So instead of finding a sitter for Nicky, I become the sitter of the day for the 11 month old, 3 year old and 59 year old. I sit up in bed, and now my head is killing me, along with my stomach.
So, the kids come over, and I can see how the day will play out. Maddie wants to be left alone, that is until Nicky wants to be picked up. Once Nicky is in my lap Maddie wants up. Fortunately for me the thought of sitting on my lap never crossed my mothers mind. Well, it could have but she never mentioned it. Anyway... Nicky sneezes, Maddie sneezes. Nicky coughs, Maddie coughs. Nicky is too little to cover his mouth or nose, so germs go all over ME. Maddie knows better, but her germs free flow as well. So the cycle now continues.... Sneeze cough YUCK, Sneeze cough YUCK!
1 dropper of infant tylenol + 2 droppers of infants tylenol + 1 dose of nyquil = a very quiet house right now. The ONLY thing going is the AC, and me typing. I am going to enjoy the quietness for the next hour or so, then it will start ALL over again. At least I went through my mail that has piled up for the last 2 weeks.

Its a Boy!
Well... I went to the Dr. on May 24th for a routine exam and the Dr. ended up sending me to the hospital. After a few tests they decided to keep me over night for observation. So the next day I get a few more tests, and another ultrasound. That afternoon a nurse comes in to say that she doesn't know if they are keeping me again.. well as soon as she walks out another walks in with an IV, and I know that they are keeping me. I'm informed that I will be having a c-section the next afternoon. So the morning of May 26th I am prepped for my c-section. I remained calm all day. Even walking to the OR i was completely calm. At 3:10pm they made the first cut and at 3:21pm my son Nicholas Michael was born, while the song Hotel California played on the radio. He was 21" and 7lbs 10.5 oz. He is now almost 4 weeks old and doing great. His big sister Madison loves him very much, and hasn't showed any jealously yet. I have full recovered from the surgery, and should be heading back to work around July 7th.

Wednesday Night
Picture this... Wednesday Night 7:00 pm... Im chasing Madison into my bedroom because she has to use the bathroom.. She is running in front of me and all of a sudden i feel this awful pain in my foot... its so bad it takes my breath away. I cant put any weight on my left foot...
I look down and find a sewing needle in the rug... Only problem is .. there is only half of it there.
So i sit on the bed with a towel on my foot because of the blood, and Michael takes Madison out of the room... She was getting upset with my crying.
I eventually hobble into our living room, he gets his uncle who comes over... They search and search the rug for the other half of the needle but cant find it.
So we decide that I am going to sit and rest and see if my foot feels better... We figure that the other half of the needle is somewhere in the deep rug.
So i wake up Thursday morning.. and can barely walk.. I call out of work and get complete attitude... even after i tell them i suspect that I have something in my foot..
So my mother in law takes me to the hospital and the do xrays.. and OH MY GOODNESSSSSS
I was completely fine until I saw the xray... The needle was HUGE.... It is about 2 inches long.
Well the ER doctor tells me that I will have to wait until after the baby is born to have the surgery to have it removed.. and he gives me a referral and sends me on my way.
I go to the referral DR (which is a friend of our family) and find out that she does not do this kind of surgery.. but there is a DR in her office who does. He checks out my foot and tells me he doesnt want to leave it in til June.. and schedules my surgery for Monday.
I will let you all know how it goes...

dreams..
I can't believe how a dream can make a person miserable for hours....I had a horrible dream involving Madison being missing, and Michael being an ass. In my dream Michael took Madison out, and seemed to "misplace" her (his words in my dream). Well he also saw it as no big deal, he kept saying "we can have another one". I was hysterical! I woke up crying and out of breath, I was so scared. But I have been up for a few hours, and I am still upset. I know Madison is sleeping in her crib, and I know that Michael didn't really lose her.. so everything should be fine. What makes a person stay so upset about something that didn't even happen...

Home again....
I just got back from Georgia a few days ago. I went to my friends wedding. It was beautiful, she was beautiful, he was handsome... the day was great. It was an outdoor wedding at their house... and I know what people might think... outdoor wedding at their house.. Well.. It was amazing. Just the way the trees shadowed the arch that they put up, and the birds chirping, mixed with the music.
I had a great time seeing them, and Madison was being her usual center of attention self. Everyone was helping me out with her, watching her and playing with her. The grooms mother even watched the Wiggles with her, sang and danced. I didn't want to leave on Tuesday but I had already called out of work for Monday, and I didn't think my boss would like me calling out on wednesday.
I took plenty of pictures so I will have to upload my pics from the wedding then post the link.

Finally Home...
Well i went to my moms and basically did there what i do at home.. run after Madison, and clean. It was nice to see my mom and Howard. The ride there was horrible, i hit traffic on I-4 several times. It took me about 11 hours to get there when it usually only takes 8. The ride back to Tampa wasn't bad... i left SC at 6am at was in Live Oak Florida at 1130am, to see Steph. Had lunch with Steph, she got to spend time with Mad. The 2 of them went out and visited the horses. Madison was ok with the horses, until treasury decided to sniff her, she ran behind me. The ride home wasn't bad, only took about 4 hours with traffic and stopping for gas. Next trip... Georgia

The interview.....
ok I took my 45 min drive to Tampa,... and tried to calm down a little. I haven't been on a job interview since 97, and I was a little nervous. I got there and waited 10 mins, then got escorted to a room where I was given a math test. She informed me that I could get at most 6 wrong. Well, it was only a 15 question test, that means that i could still get 40% wrong and still be a candidate for the job.. that would have been failing in HS. So I took it and got 1 wrong, which she seemed pleased about. She then started the actual interview.. why did you move to florida, why haven't you worked in a year, why do you want to work here, what did you like most about your last job... then out of the blue, how would you deal with a customer if they pulled a gun on you... HUH.. i understand how would you deal with an upset customer but a gun!!.. I asked if that happened often and was told no no. As i drove home i started having concerns lol, thinking maybe this wasn't the place for me. We will see what they say. She kept saying things like, when you start then changing it and saying.. i mean if we hire you. Things like when you go for training, not if you get trained... i think i got the job, but we will see

:)
I am so excited... Steph Kramer is coming to visit me this weekend. Her and I moved to Florida at the same time, but to different areas. I haven't seen her in a few months, and I am really looking forward to it. I haven't kept in touch with many people from HS, but I have kept in touch with her no matter where I was living.
