So, I've worked a grand total of four days and have to take a sick day.
WHAT A LOSER!! But, I have no other options. Emmie got a fever in daycare yesterday and they won't let her back until Monday (24 hours). She really did have a fever yesterday and she was just laying in one of the infant bouncers sucking her thumb when I picked her up. POOR BABY!!!!!! She is NEVER like that... so I know she didn't feel well. BUT, about 45 minutes after her motrin and juice, she was NORMAL (ok, granted, her nose has been running off her face for days, but that's not new) and today, she's all over the place. I was afraid I'd have to take her to a doc's office with only Tricare insurance (i.e. they won't pay).
I just feel like the girls at work will be disappointed (as I would if I were in their shoes). I know they understand, but timing is BAD. And I really think I'm going to like this job. So, hopefully, this will be it for a long time. GRRRR!
Anyhoo.... enough whining... I guess I should use this time for good... the linens should probably be washed... not like I have nothing to do around here :)

Bad bad bad ME!
Ok... I was EVER SO GENTLY reminded that I have been TOTALLY blowing this off.... I am so ashamed!!!!
So, here's my vow..... everyone out in blogland can read it now :) .... I will blog at least three times a week.......my vow :)
Alrighty then.... updates GALORE!
1. I'm working!!! YEE HAW :) My new title is "Outcomes Coordinator" at Boone Hospital Center on the Surgical Specialties ward. It's my third day and my first on the floor and I think I'm going to like it. It seems like Boone really takes genuine steps not only to care well for their patients but to also care for their staff... which is SO important in providing excellent patient care. And the ladies I'm working most closely with have already been so helpful and are very excited that I'm there... that makes me feel pretty darned good.
2. Kids are in daycare. They are doing GREAT!! I'm very impressed with their resiliance. Nathan is even starting to potty train at daycare already.... he's kinda bonded with one of his teachers.... but he's still sad to see me go and glad I'm there to pick him up, so it's great with me. Emily has done FANTASTIC... she hasn't really had a bad day... What a good girl! I'm really so proud! For a girl who's never been in daycare, she's doing REALLY well.
3. House is coming along.... got all the new stuff that we were going to get before Dave left, so that was VERY helpful. He's working on getting his orders early so we might be able to ship the household goods early. That would be GREAT.... I'd really like to spend some time downstairs when it gets warmer.....it's so much cooler down there.
a. The concrete is poured for the new patio/deck. It's gonna be huge and I love it!
b. Garden is IN!!! YEAH.... ended up buying a tiller.... not a huge deal, but it just makes it much easier.
c. Roof needs to be replaced. Had the insurance adjustor out here before Dave left and that's what he said. Got his estimate today in the mail. Now, I've got to call around and get a couple estimates. Darned the hail and winds!
d. Need to call about getting a fence put in too..... kids NEED to be outside playing!!!
e. Going to Laurie this weekend to pick up the swingset and patio furniture from my aunt and uncle..... kids will LOVE it!
4. I miss Dave a LOT.....December can't come soon enough.
5. And...my other job/obsession/love...... SBing!!! I had a GREAT TIME with the MSS kit this month and got to do two things that I wouldn't have done otherwise.... I got my rememberance book from SFW done AND I did a bracelet with the kids' pictures on it..... LOVE the way they turned out and with Junkitz and MM as the two primary manufacturers... how can you go wrong?!?!
Well.... that's enough for now.... I promise (again) to update more often!
