Do I have anything to say?: Early to Bed

Early to Bed

Well, it is nearly 8:30, but I honestly think I'm going to head to bed. My house remains a mess. I haven't looked for my Christmas cards so I can address and mail them. I have laundry in the dryer from...not sure when I did laundry...whenever that was. I'm surprised that I know today is Saturday. My nose is starting to be "drippy" and I've been sneezing, so hopefully some "extra sleep" will keep any potential "illness" away. I'm working five of the next seven days and believe I have a meeting on one of my days off (the only day I have off is Christmas Eve...unless I end up getting Monday or Wednesday off if we are over-staffed). The money will be helpful of course, but my health and well-being is definitely as/more important than money :o)

I actually cooked dinner, so as soon as I put away the leftovers, I'm off to bed.
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.
