Do I have anything to say?: It Came Early

It Came Early

Yes, that 5:30 alarm came VERY early this morning. But, I actually woke up a few minutes before it went off. And, I PROBABLY should have rolled myself out of bed at that point, but I did not. I'm am "queen" of the snooze button and usually don't get up until 6:00 even though my alarm goes off at 5:30. Since I took a shower last night, I thought maybe I could push that "roll out of bed" time until MAYBE 6:15. I only live a couple minutes from work and typically leave around 6:40 to get there before my shift starts at 7.

Well, when I opened my eyes (after dreaming about being in college and getting my schedule/books/settled into my dorm/meeting up with my friends of ALL things) my clock said 6:25...Oh yes, I most definitely bolted up out of bed and got ready VERY quickly. It was a glasses and even less make-up than normal day. I did manage to flat iron my hair a little bit even though I forgot to turn it on after I plugged it in while I was packing my lunch.

I made it to work in record time and made it through the day with the help of much coffee. It also helped that my patients kept me busy at around 2:00 when I REALLY would have felt the need for "nap time"...

We have started to gather our vacation pictures together, but I am unsure how to turn those "shared" pictures into something I can post here. However, in light of my "timing" issue today, I did find one of Ginger or Lauren's pictures of a clock that looked like fun for this post :o)

Back to work tomorrow for more fun...gotta love weekend shift differential though...I think I can do this!

Good night.

(Well, except for this week when I successfully woke up with my alarm on Monday and Tuesday, and then slept through my alarm Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Whoops.) My junior year of college, I had to get out of bed to hit snooze, and still did so for two hours. Every morning. Anyway, all I'm sayin' is that a half hour is nothing. :-); 06 June, 2009 20:54

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.
