Do I have anything to say?: That is crazy!

That is crazy!

So, I posted my last post in Kelly's Show Us Where You Live tour (even though it was definitely a stretch for me!) And, apparently, I was correct in thinking that would bring "extra traffic" to my blog. My trusty little site meter tells me that my average daily visits is 6, yes SIX, that would be less than 10. As of post time, there have been 358 "documented" visits to my blog today...um, yeah, about 60 times the average number.

That, my friends, is CRAZY (and, if I was not recovering from working a 12 1/2 hour shift after sleeping for five hours, I probably would say that thinking about this made me throw up in my mouth a little bit...but, I'm too tired to care too much right now)! Of course, two days from now I will return to having my handful of friends who regularly visit and all will be as I like it. But, I suppose it is fun to feel popular...for one day I'm okay being "popular" in the blogging world...then, I think I'll be ready to go back to being "Just Me".

Well, I'd better get to packing since I need to figure out what I'm going to wear to the graduation tomorrow and drive to my aunt and uncle's house for the night.

Laurie in Ca. said...: You are too funny!:) I sometimes get down when my comments are slow, but am so thankful that I do not have one of those crazy sites like a reality TV show. I would feel too guilty not getting back to people. I do love my boring life as it is:) Love you Amanda and have a great weekend.

Love and Hugs, Laurie
PS. Two of those visits besides this one were mine. I came back to check out the rocking chair and I think it is perfect in the room. The sentiment outways fashion any day:); 16 May, 2009 08:52

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.
