Do I have anything to say?: Not quite yet...

Not quite yet...

This is me procrastinating for sure...not QUITE ready for my "catching up" post (I still have like 30 posts on my Google Reader to catch up on AND I didn't do any yard or house work today either...ugh!) A lot has happened this past week, but I'm doing alright thanks to my amazing friends and family. I am sure it will help to get it all out...eventually...

In the mean time, I wanted to post something that didn't require too much thought. So, I found some pictures to create a sort of "blast from the past" post...enjoy :o)

The theater director at my high school is putting on a show for alums in June. She was not the director when I attended high school there, but has chosen to do this show. We did that show in 1997 and I was in the cast. Even though my schedule kind of stinks to participate in something like this, I decided to go ahead and audition. She isn't sure what she will be able to do, but I went and found pictures from that show in 1997 (FYI...it kind of is an "80s" show...hence the "crimped" hair...ha!)

Just in case it is hard to see...I am on the right (would that be "stage left"?! I don't remember) with the white head band and plaid dress...

Me with one of my high school "BFF's"...I haven't seen her about 10 years though...hmm, maybe I should try to find her on facebook... I was a Junior in high school...wow!

Okay, don't get excited about this picture of "a boy" here on this blog...ha! I went to elementary school with this "kid". This was his 8th grade picture and I haven't seen or heard about him since then (15 years!) His step-dad (the only dad I remember him having actually) died fairly suddenly on Friday. My mom and I went to the visitation last night. I totally would not have recognized him...fifteen years apparently makes a difference in appearance for some people...

this is my eighth grade picture... I'm pretty sure HE would have recognized ME! He IS single, but...a visitation was not quite an appropriate place to find out anything more than that ;o)

Alright, back to watching the finale of The Biggest Loser...maybe tomorrow I will reflect on my thoughts of the past week...or, maybe the past week will be "forgotten" and I'll have some fun things to write about.

Back to work tomorrow (I'm on an "every other day" schedule this week...)

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.
