Do I have anything to say?: On a Jet Plane

On a Jet Plane

I am headed for Las Vegas bright and early (I am getting picked up at 6:00!) I am almost finished packing, but taking a little break to blog and watch The Biggest Loser. I skipped my workout again today since I worked ALL day at the pumpkin patch (well, 11-4:30...) I made a couple stops on the way home, then it was after 6:30 and I decided it wasn't going to happen. So, I started my "30 Days to 30" on September 17 and ended up doing 22 days (since I'm "obviously" not bringing my video to do tomorrow!). I don't think that is TOO bad considering I went on vacation and sort of was working two jobs this month. I'm a little annoyed that I worked that hard and sweat that much and believe I only lost 1/2 a pound, but it wasn't all about weight and inches, it was about setting a goal and sticking to it. Even though I didn't reach the exact goal I set for myself, I pretty much knew when I set it that it was unrealistic, but definitely worth a shot!

I am bringing my netbook with me, and I have my own hotel room, so probably will end up posting from Vegas. But, I did also set a couple posts to go while I am gone, so there actually may be more posts than usual rather than less!

Well, maybe I should pick up my living room while I watch TV rather than blog. Vegas here I come...hope you are ready ;o)
Good 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.
