Insane in the membrane



So this is what happens when you sit through two days of nursing orientation at the hospital. We learned today how to use the restraints when all other options had been exhausted and you need to keep your patient safe. I took the photo opportunity to establish that Jenia is crazy!! Actually the new job is FABULOUS so far!! I have gone by the nursery to look at the babies both days!! they are so cute and I can not wait to be a neonatal nurse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am exhausted though ..the training is 7:45 to 4:30 each day then coming home to four kids,laundry,baths dinner, dishes etc.. man am I ever thankful for being a stay at home mom!!! I have really missed the kids this week but they are enjoying spending time with Daddy and he is doing wonderful teaching.

Fun...yes, it's tough being a working mom, but it's good for everyone involved. Sounds like everyone is doing well transitioning.

why did you decide to homeschool this year? i know you said that being with them all day is a blessing and rewarding...so i'm guessing that's why......a couple more days until you hear about your (possible) extra bundles of joy; i can't wait, crystal; you HAVE to let me know

miss you

hey; got your message on my blog (i was even crying a little); i know it's tough seeing our parents age; it's just ... i'm terrified of what's gonna happen to me when they get called back hom. i mean, my siblings have made it abundantly clear that i'm not moving in with them ... and i refuse to go to a group home again ... this isn't until, hopefully 15, 20 years down the road, but it's been on my mind lately ever since my dad was diagnosed. my mom's starting to minor complications from her diabetes...

monday i got a letter from a collection agency that said that I owe them $250 (i don't, in any way, shape or form); someone opened a payday loan in my name, using my driver's license; and then last week or the week before, someone opened a phone line in my name using my ss nummber....can we say Identity Theft?!?!

I'm so sorry i took up the majority of your message space, but i just needed to get that out, cuz i don't want to have another melt down, like i did monday.

Thank you for listening and sending up prayers.
