Do I have anything to say?: Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkin Patch

Even though it is a LOT colder here than it was in California, I don't think I would have enjoyed my pumpkin patch experience NEARLY as much! Something tells me that snuggling up by a bonfire with a pumpkin spice latte just isn't the same when it is 80 degrees. Now, I will say, that I probably would have been more comfortable had I taken my mom up on her offer for gloves, but it really wasn't THAT bad! I had myself a caramel apple as well which was delicious :o) I didn't actually roast myself any marshmallows or hot dogs, but probably should have since now I have to "settle" for microwave popcorn (which is one of those foods I think I could live on, but it definitely is no "s'mores"!)

REALLY big rocking chair! Fun!

Well, I finished my vacation laundry, but still have a bit of a mess in my living room (probably didn't help that I came home to a mess...I guess that is why you are supposed to go on vacation with a clean house!) I suppose I should either start preparing for my afternoon meeting, my evening bible study, or go to bed...good night!

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.
