The Snow has arrived!!
Wow, I haven’t posted in quite a while. I have been really busy as usual. The new unit opened at the hospital last week and that took up a lot of my time. I even went in on my days off a few times. There were last minute things that needed to be done that noone seemed to notice but me. Thankfully, the opening went off smoothly. Now to concentrate on getting the 4th floor ready to open sometime in the next 6 months or so. It will be a relief when it’s all over.
We are in the midst of what’s supposed to be a pretty decent snowstorm. I think we are supposed to get about 12 inches. I was supposed to work tomorrow and have to drive in it, but someone needed Thursday off so I agreed to change shifts with her. So now I don’t go in until then but will have to work 4 1/2 - 12 hr shifts in a row before I will have a day off. What ticks me off is that after all the snow we are supposed to get this week, Sunrise will probably open this weekend and I will miss it because I am working! So far, there’s about 3 in. The kids are relatively confident that they will have a snow day tomorrow.
We are almost ready for Christmas. The kids decorated the tree yesterday. I am still waiting for a few items to be delivered and then I will have to wrap them. All the other wrapping is done though (thanks to Tara helping me some.)
Patrick’s visit went fast. He got to spend time with the whole family which was great. He is now in Ansbach, Germany where he is stationed with an airborne unit. His tour there is for 2 years. He said he is being shipped to Iraq next November. Hopefully, that will change. He emailed today and said he has done a lot of growing up since joining the Army. I suppose that is an understatement! We don’t have an address yet but when we do, I will pass it out to you all.
Got to cook Chicken & Dumplings for dinner now.
Yay snow! Yay chicken and dumplings!
