Do I have anything to say?: Moving stuff

Moving stuff

Yesterday, I got my carpets cleaned in two of the bedrooms and the living room. My parents came over and helped me rearrange furniture in my living room and my bedroom. Today, my dad and I picked up the new bed I bought for the guest room and he hung some pictures for me. I am very excited for the "new look" and can't help but think that this kind of change will help my overall mood. Unfortunately, I still have a LOT of organizing and "tossing of junk" to do, but at least I have a good start. I feel like I have waited a long time to have my home the way I want it. I'm still a long way away from that, but have to say that it is nearly "party ready", should I ever feel the need to throw a party!

I got up "early" to make a 9:30 meeting, but it was tough (and I took a nap this afternoon!). The next three days will probably be "interesting"...it will be SO hard staying awake for an ENTIRE day :o) I'm sure I will survive, because as I sometimes have to remind myself "I love my job!"

Well, how's THAT for a boring post...I guess it's okay since I don't have any "readers" who care about that. Boring is right there in the subtitle of my blog, so I suppose it is fitting...not that I'm looking to have any excitement at work the next three days...calm is good!

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.
