I'm Still Here!

Wow, it has been a while since I put up a blog post! I'm doing fine...very good actually :o) I worked on Monday and do not go back until Saturday. Of course, I had a lot of "projects" to do during my days off and, well, it is now Thursday afternoon and I still have "projects" to do. Obviously, I'm not too worried about them since I have decided to post something on my blog! I did finally get to the grocery store yesterday and mowed my lawn. I actually bought some healthy food, so maybe this will be the summer when I lose some weight...it already has been the summer where I have learned to enjoy wearing flip flops, so anything can happen! I'm also going to see if some how my skin will decide to tan in the sun rather than burn...I was outside for about 20 minutes yesterday and my shoulders are a nice shade of pink, so that test didn't go so well.

Anyway, my nephew is one week old today, so here is a collage of his "first week".

Alright, maybe it is time to get off the couch and at least shower and eat lunch...and I do have performance evaluations to do...ugh!

Ta ta for now!

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.
