Placenta Labels

There are some things that happen that I just can't keep to myself. It physically pains me not to share the hilarity with others. What happened next is a true story of true events.

I came back from lunch Thursday, and Jessi had quite the hilarious story for me of what had happened while I was gone. As she struggled to tell me, she was almost crying she was laughing so hard, and the story only got funnier as the day went on. By the night fall when I relayed it to Bryna I threw myself into a coughing fit because I was laughing so hard. Hopefully the hilarity will translate through written word.

Rewind to 1 pm Thursday.

I walk into the office after lunch and start putting my stuff together and sit down. I always ask if anything noteworthy happened while I was gone or anything I should know about.

Jessi starts laughing and covering her mouth with her hand.

Through her laughter I finally get her to tell me what happened.

Our unnamed work study who shall hereby be called MWS, had been working on files and labels most of the morning. When I left for lunch he was having problems getting the labels printed out on our ghetto printer. So Jessi was trying to help him to get them to print properly.

So he loaded the labels into the bottom tray on our COLOR printer and hit print on his document.

Jessi said all of the sudden it got very quiet in the office.

She turned around and saw MWS standing at the printer holding his labels out far away from his body, with a pale face and what can only be described as a stunned/horrified/terrified look on his face.

She said at that point she asked him if he was ok because he did not look very good at all.

MWS just slightly shook his head.

She asked him what was wrong and very slowly he turned the sheet of labels to face her, still holding them at arm's length away from his body.

At was at this time that she saw an 8 by 11 full color of a placenta.

Seconds later one of the faculty came through the door from the work room, looked at the empty copier and said "where's my babies??!!"


I don't think Avery makes a template for that!


I still cannot believe this happened while I was at lunch. I would have paid an entire week's paycheck to see this in person.

The joys of working with health professionals.

I should probably warn MWS not to have lunch in the workroom at the same time the Nurses are eating. We might never see him again.

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

Book Review: The Last Dance you Saved by LJ Evans

  Buckle Up Buttercup, because Sadie Hatley is finally getting her story!!!! And it did not disappoint at all! The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it ended. I could have kept reading for 1000 more pages.  L.J. Evans is a Masterclass in how to write Romantic Suspense (that's not so scary you can't sleep at night) with witty banter, heroines who kick butt (figuratively and literally). Her books are full of real people with real problems. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate the most about her writing. Yes, her books are an escape for me, but they also show that whatever you're going through in life, everyone else is also going through something.  In the case of Sadie and Rafe alot of those issues they contained to themselves and kept the hurt and pain inside of them, in order to be strong for others and what they thought they needed to be. But L.J. shows us that not only is it okay to let people in, but the beauty and redemption that come...
