New Post

Well it has been a while since I have posted so I thought I better get to it!

Thanksgiving has come and gone and we all lived to tell the tale! It was fun for me for many different reasons. First I have worked every Thanksgiving since I have had my job at the hospital so it was bittersweet to have a Thanksgiving off seeing how I wasn't there last year when Wayne and his family came up, not to mention it was the last one that Dad was around for. On a brighter note, Shane coming with me was a huge bright spot! It was a shocker when he said that he wanted to go, but I am so glad he was there! Right after we got to the coast we went for a walk on the beach and he told me that he only came for me, it melted my heart. I already knew that but to hear him say that meant alot. Casey was already going down to the coast with his friend JJ so we knew that we could see him if we wanted to, which we really enjoyed not having the responsibility of having any kids but that quickly came to an end when we got the call telling us that Casey needed to probably get stitches! Needless to say we left to pick him up and to take him into the E.R. in the small hospital in Lincoln City. I thought I was getting a break from the hospital scene, but it wasn't meant to be. He didn't get stitched due to the fact the he had some debris that was removed and the doctor didn't want to possibly stitch it if they missed any. He came back to the house with us and it was a good thing, he needed to keep having his steri strips changed and he woke up at three in the morning having quite a bit of discomfort! We let him go back with his friend and he was happy to go back! Not that he didn't enjoy spending time with his family, but hey JJ has an X-Box you know! Over all it was a great trip and everybody got along great, thanks Mom for providing us with a fun time!

Work continues to keep me busy, and frustrated and I don't see it getting better any time soon. After our holiday schedule is done I am supposed to be going to start working Sunday through Thursday from 3:00 p.m. until 11:30 P.M. This will make it so I will have a set schedule, and I will be working 40 hours a week versus the 36 that I work now. Seeing how I am kind of a "night owl" it shouldn't be too big of a deal for me to make the change, and my hope is that it will relieve some of the stress that I deal with during my 12 hour shifts that I work now.

That's all I have for now, but I will try to keep all up to date on anything I feel worthy of putting in writing.
