We're hungry....

20 minutes later we were still hungry....

Wanna see why???

Well... you know what to do...

hit the button..

Trust me...I'm NOT a Doctor though..

Check me out!!

I did something wonderful this week!!

It's official.. I am now a fully qualified First Aider!!

I am actually going to be useful at work for a change!!!!!! Who'd have thunk'd it??? LOL

I get a certificate and a little plastic card to keep in my purse and I am legally able to administer First Aid to injured persons in the workplace and also to the general public should there be a need (watch out you lot..lol), infact, should I leave the country (on holiday for example) in some countries I am actually legally required to stop and assist in an emergency situation!! Oooh I could feel all important if I thought about it..lol

In all seriousness though this week has been mostly very interesting. It's definitely been incredibly hard work (there's a whole lot of information in this head right now..ha!! Look at me using my brain!!) and if I'm completely honest there were some things about certain areas (mainly heart attacks) that I would have preferred not to have known really..

Whilst I knew that such things weren't very pleasant for the person experiencing it, when thinking of my own father and his death I had tried to block out from my mind exactly how much it would have hurt him, how long it may have taken and how scared he would have been and now... well now I can't and I don't mind admitting that yesterday's lessons on that particular subject were really very hard for me, the instruction videos were very upsetting and last night as I mulled it all over in my head.. well, it was more than a little rough let's say..

As much as it pains me..I can't save my beloved Dad... however, if I ever come across someone with those symptoms I SHOULD know what to do to potentially save that persons life or at least help until paramedics arrive to take over and I think..no.. I KNOW he'd be really really proud of me for that.

and I'm quite proud of me too.. I've worked bloody hard at this and its been an emotional ride and scary too - just to think how much can go wrong sometimes is scary and now the fact that I may have to go out and actually use what I've learned on a real person is quite daunting too.

But I wouldn't hesitate.. and I'd be in there.. yelling "CLEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!" hahah.. no.. seriously though, they wont let me have a defib machine so yer all safe..LOL

BUT..if your kids go to the same school as mine then rest your worried minds.. cos the 3 of us that took the course passed with flying colours.. and we're ready..

Bring on the grazed knees!!!!!!!!!! whaaaaaat?? we don't want anyone getting hurt y'know ;)
