Do I have anything to say?: It's Halloween!

It's Halloween!

These pictures didn't turn out that great, but they were the only ones I have. I think my lady bug costume turned out pretty well. I got the glasses from a patient, and didn't wear them all day long. I am wearing a red scrub top and black scrub pants. I bought self-adhesive felt (which I didn't know existed!) and cut out circles. I had a wrap-type headband and twisted a pipe cleaner around it (with a little help from a co-worker!) So, I was comfortable AND cute! :o) I did get quite a few compliments, so that's always fun :o)

I started off with 29 spots

(because when I was little, we counted spots to see how old they were!)

It looks like I may have lost a couple!

Last year I dressed as Dora the Explorer.

The year before, I didn't work, but I went to the parade as some sort of Doodlebop relative.

I missed quite a bit of the parade since I was busy, but the kids I saw looked really cute. They paraded them around a few floors, and people from different departments handed out goodies. There was even some media coverage, which is really neat

Well, it's only 9:30, but I'm TIRED (it's HARD to stay awake all day long when you are used to sleeping in, taking naps, or both!)

Good night!

(If you happen to stop by Kristy's blog tomorrow, be sure to wish her a Happy Birthday!!)

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.
