Well, I'm long overdue for an update to this site. How is it that you blink and then a month has gone by? Mom was right---the older you get, the quicker time goes... Well, my baby girl Abby turned 8 on me this past Saturday. We had a good family day. We went and saw the movie "Monsters vs. Aliens" per her request, went to Mongolian BBQ in Naperville, put our leftover tortillas and crackers from lunch in our pockets and walked down to the Naperville Riverwalk and fed the ducks, and had Dairy Queen in the freezing cold. She seemed happy with her day and so were the rest of us, I think. We got her a MP3 player that has been in her hot little hand ever since, so I think I did pretty good on that one. She notified me that I "rule", so I think that is a good thing.
What else--that individual I spoke of in my last post is doing better that I could have imagined medically (and emotionally!) which I am so happy for! Please keep praying for him as I am hoping he comes to know the hope I have!
Next week me and my BFF will be getting away for a short trip to Ohio for the Midwest Homeschool Convention. I am on the hunt for some ideas for a middle school science curriculum and some sort of language program on the computer for the kiddies as the workbook thing is torture for them. They much prefer being on the computer so guess that is the way the world is headed and might as well not fight it. So, hopefully, I will be successful in my quest. I am looking forward to a little bit of BFF time kid-free.
Started the new job last week at Timberline Knolls and think it is going to be a good fit for me. I love the girls and am orienting w/ my mom--which makes the stress level pretty much absent. Psyche is an area that I haven't really had much experience in on a professional level (everyday life is another story! LOL)and I am really looking forward to learning a different aspect of nursing. Have been doing homecare for 12 years now and will be nice to spice things up a little bit w/ some new experiences.
We still have our foster daughter. She has become one of the crew. Looks like she'll be here awhile. Her little schedule is fuller than mine! She's always got somewhere to be, but she handles it like a champ.
Well, I think you've got the highlights since I last posted......Gotta go get the crew together so we can go to History and Science club today---we are learning about King Tut and Praying Mantises. We know all about the praying mantis given our friend Lloyd we had last fall. We are bringing her egg cases she left us to show everyone first hand. Will be a good day....
Until the next ramble.....
