Do I have anything to say?: Why "Just Me"?

Why "Just Me"?

I decided I wanted to start a blog before I decided on the name. I knew that I wanted it to be anonymous for the most part so I can write about whatever I want and just be myself. I think in one of my posts, or in a comment, I mentioned that everyone has a myspace and/or facebook account and some employers use that information. I also have both of those and people I haven't seen or talked to in YEARS have found me on there. While that is VERY cool in some ways, there are some opinions/things I wouldn't want to put out there (especially if I wanted to complain about something or someone!). Right now, this is a good venue for me. I have been able to be myself, my crazy, sometimes boring, sometimes drunken self. This is "Just Me"-no reason to pretend I'm something or someone I'm not because of who may be reading. Of course, I hope that I would be able to "keep it real" even if it wasn't "anonymous", but this is a very easy way to do that without even trying! Someday, it may become difficult to remain "anonymous", but for now I really like it! And, as the title of my post says "Do I have anything to say?" Or, does what I say really matter?! I guess if you like what you read, keep on reading!

Who's Who

Updated September 2013

I have one sister who is married and has two boys. "A" was born June 2009 and "I" was born March 2012. We are both really close to my parents and have lots of "family dinners".

I wrote a lot about my patients when I first started this blog. Some patients are still growing and thriving, and others have lost their battles.

My first foster placements lived with me from June 2010-September 2011. They were sisters who were 15 and almost 3 when they were placed with me and are now 18 and 5. I called M "the teen" and L "the little one". They live with their mom who still has many issues, but are doing well (ok) and I still have (not enough) contact with them.

My second foster placement came to me September 6, 2012. I call her Zoe and she turned 5 in April. She has cystic fibrosis and has been a patient on my floor at the hospital. The plan is still reunification.

Ivy is a 17-year-old whose mom died just before Thanksgiving. She has a Guardian, but is unable to live with him due to some family issues. She has no other family who is willing/able to take her. She moved in with me the beginning of February. She moved to a group home at the beginning of August as her needs were too great for me with my schedule and having another child with special needs.
