The worst part of the weekend is the end. I hate Mondays. This weekend was beautiful weather, Josh and I were both home with the kids, and we all spent some great family time together. Saturday we went to watch Drew's taekwondo instructor in a board breaking competition. He broke 30 boards in 47 seconds, it was really cool. The winner broke 30 ( Read more... )

I'm trying to remember why I haven't been writing for so long, I guess I just tend to get too busy and forget. I do enjoy daily writing about my mundane life, though, it's almost like a good puke after a hard night of drinking. You always feel better and are glad you did it afterward, even if the buildup was long and agonizing. So Josh came home ( Read more... )

Today one of our patients died in the ER. He was a 3 year old who had a cardiac catheterization yesterday. He spent the night in PICU and was released this morning to go home. In the car on the way home his parents said he seemed not quite right and turned around and brought him back into the ER. There he arrested on the table and never ( Read more... )

So my poor little Corolla was the victim of yet another bad driver. That poor little sedan has been put in a ditch, flooded in a rain storm, hit while parked 2 times, and hit while on the road 2 times, the windshield has been replaced, there are melted crayons in the back seat, the driver's side door handle doesn't work, the cup holder in the back ( Read more... )

So the supervisor at the Cardiology clinic paid me a very good compliment today she said that she had inquired into offering me a full-time position, but unfortunately she can only hire an RN. It's really great to know that hard work and a good work ethic doesn't go un-noticed. She also told me that all of the doctors love me and want me to stay ( Read more... )

So evidently if you don't put oil in the law mower from time to time it will break. So evidently if you throw a weed-eater across the yard it will break. So evidently if you buy a $30 weed-eater it more than likely is a piece of crap. So evidently if you forget to turn the crockpot down to low before you leave for work your food will be ( Read more... )

One less until Josh comes home. I do wish I had a date to look forward to, but I only have a month. Oh well, at least I have that. I always try to look on the bright side. I'm so optimistic that sometimes it disgusts me. But anyway, we made it to church today, so I feel that it was a successful week. I judge whether or not the week was a ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm talking about those rotten little monsters that sprang forth from my womb. I took them out to dinner, let them choose the restaurant, let them order anything they liked, and gave them lollipops for dessert because they both ate so well and then I asked them if we could go get a pair of shoes for Mommy before we went home. "Sure, Mom, we ( Read more... )

So we are hanging in there, just passing each day as it comes and waiting for December. I am still in cardiology and will be until further notice, and I'm really starting to enjoy it. Today the PA was showing me a little how to read the EKG printouts, and everyday I am learning a little more. I do wish that I could have more time with each ( Read more... )

So my first week is almost over, tomorrow is Friday and thank goodness! Cardiology clinic is a big hurry up and wait type of place, and let me say that is so exhausting to me! It's only been 4 days now and I'm already ready to move on to my next site. But I was told that I will be there indefinitely. I have seen the schedule though the rest of ( Read more... )
