She's a Big Girl

So, I probably should have saved my "venting" about last night for here, but I did some today as well. I went to bed shortly after posting last night, around 1:15. I quickly fell asleep after the traveling and amount of alcohol consumption. I woke up when my "roommate" returned to the room at 2:15. She ordered a pizza and then fell fast asleep. The pizza arrived at 3:00 and the pounding on the door didn't wake her up, nor did my request for her to get her money. So, I paid the pizza guy, made another attempt to wake her up, left the pizza on the bedside table and went back to sleep. Somehow I woke up at 6:15 which was great since breakfast started at 7:30 (and she wanted to get up at 6:30). I made several attempts to wake her up, but then decided she was a big girl and could get up when/if she wanted. She made it to the conference in time for the 10:00 speaker and basically said that was her plan...oh well. I spent a lot of the day away from her which wasn't completely intentional, but probably a good idea seeing as she is still my boss (see yesterday's post :o) )

Somehow I went all day on that little sleep and no nap. It was a good day, and I do think I got some new and good information.

Tonight, I went to my first NHL game, only my second ever hockey game. I went with one of the other nurses who loves hockey. We saw Boston play the Montreal team and it went into a shoot-out so that was extra exciting!! Pictures to come...too bad I forgot to bring my camera charger and I have no idea how many more pictures I can take before it dies :o(

Not sure how I got a "second wind", but it is nearly 1:00 and tomorrow is another full day of workshops/speakers. So, I should get some sleep. Another day of missing my 30-day Shred...we did walk to the hockey arena though!

Good night from Canada...hope my roommate doesn't snore...I didn't notice last 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.
