Girl Scout Dropout

Archive for May, 2010

Wow…my last post was February 22. I didn’t realize it had been so long. So much has happened in the last couple of months. I really don’t know where to begin. Quite honestly, most of it is pretty boring.

Maybe I’ll just hit the highlights.

• I got a new job! I’m now a home health/hospice nurse. And so far I’m loving it. I still work for the same organization, just a different branch. I have regular hours (8-4:30) and have the same day off every week. This job is so different from the hospital. I actually get to spend time with the patient and their family without being called out of the room every 5 mins. I have the time to teach the patient about their disease and what to expect. I love it For the first time in a very long time, I don’t dread going to work.
• My Emily came to visit me for a long weekend on March! I loved having her here! She survived meeting my husband, kids, and all 3 dogs. Luna, my pug, has made a new BFFL. I can’t wait to see here again…..
• M4!! Its just over a month away. This is the Midwest Mafia Meet-up in Milwaukee. Its a chance to meet up with some great people that I met last summer and see a few other friends that are out of state. I can’t wait until June 18th.
• My baby girl has officially started driver’s ed. She can’t get behind the steering wheel until August 5th (that’s when she’s 15 1/2), but she’s in the classroom portion now. She loves it. And when I drive she points out everything I do wrong. Her driving career may be over before it starts.

Hmm, 4 highlights. That doesn’t really seem like a lot. I intend to be here more often. I’ve kind of forgotten that it feels good to get stuff out. Heaven knows that I can babble on and on about most anything

I think I’ll keep this short and sweet. I’d hate to get cramps in my fingers from typing on my first visit back here.
