Well, I got a new full time job doing early intervention 3-5 year olds and I am THRILLED!!! This is the job I have been waiting for. It will be quite a travel to/from work, but everything else about the job is perfect!!!

Both of my girls and I participated in a 5k race yesterday. Oldest dd (7) ran pretty much the whole race and finished in 42 minutes (while stopping at a garage sale along the way and walking backwards to wave to people) She loved it and wants to do more. I did...

Well, I start my new full time job on Monday. I have not worked full time for 7.5 years since my daughter was born ( I have worked part time and weekends) I am excited about the consistency of payment and about the benefits, but I am super scared to get back into the 5 day a week pattern. Granted, my job is something I have done for 10+ years and I am very comfortable with the type of patient, but I am so worried that I am not sleeping. Oh well, I will update MOnday.

Well, I feel like I am being bombarded in all directions. I feel like I am in a rut. Dh is always telling me that I spend too much money, or I don't clean the house or - you name it. I am very frustrated. I keep trying to do the best I can and it is never enough. I worked today, came home and then worked on the house for 3 hours- then did laundry, got the kids ready for bed, and got everything ready for tomorrow.

I have been working in the schools 3 days a week. I LOVE IT!!!!...

It has been such a long time since I have blogged. Things are a little better at school with dd, but not a lot. I finally requested she be evaluated by the psychologist to determine what academic level she should be at. She is truly amazing with all the things she can do. She is too smart for her own good.

I spent 6 hours in the ER on Thanksgiving with what they think is a kidney stone. They gave me dilaudid to help with the pain and I ended up being allergic to it. It was a...

Tomorrow we are meeting with dd's teacher and the principal. This is such an ongoing story, but in a nutshell, dd went to kindergarten last year. Her school closed (catholic) and we brought her back to our school district. She missed the cutoff and so had to repeat kindergarten. There was talk initially about testing her out but then the principal said no.

This information is needed to understand my situation. DD is super smart. she is reading and can write all her uppercase,...

Well, it is official, no more kids for us. I am saddened and relieved at the same time (if that is possible) Now my body has to heal and I MUST start taking care of myself-exercising, eating better.

My new job is going great! I have such great kiddos and all the teachers are great. It is hard to believe it is October already.

DD is not listening in school and I am soooooo frustrated with her. She is one of the kiddos that went to a private catholic school last...

I started a new job today and I love it. I am working 2 days a week with the potential to go full time in December or January. I am working in the schools doing occupational therapy and it is quite a reprieve from working in the hospital. I still am working weekends in the hospital.

My children are growing up and it is sad yet exciting. Last week, my daughter played her first soccer game and scored two goals. This was quite an accomplishment and I was baffled because she is usually...

dh and I have been going around and around if we want to have more children. We have three beautiful children and I feel we won't be able to give our children all they need if we have another one. BUt I still have that gut feeling that I want to have another one.

Sooooo I am scheduled for a tubal on september 26. I am 50/50 about having the procedure done and worrying that I will regret it, but knowing it is the right thing to do.
Ugg, decisions

Well, I found out yesterday that my aunt has melanoma and has been undergoing chemotherapy. She had an aunt die from this and many members of her family, so we are all devastated. What makes it worse is that it comes right on the heels of my dear friend dying of the same exact type of cancer. Anymore it seems like cancer is the norm instead of the exception.

On a happier note, I am busy making bows and embroidery things for a huge craft show this weekend. I just finished two really...

I guess you never really know how good you have things until something goes wrong or someone gets sick. I am still so upset about j passing on, I still think that I will see him at the alumni game. He touched so many people. At his funeral, the church was packed. It makes me wonder if I will have that much impact on soceity to be so well respected.

It has not only been hard on me, but on my dh and especially dd. We adopted dd in the middle of the soccer season and she attended...
