IT"S ONLY THURSDAY?

Monday:

We had the fun chance to watch a neighbor's 2 year old - Amaree. She is just the sweetest girl. Her and our little P Jo just play and play together until they both fall asleep. Monday was also Lee's day off and we had big plans to go cut some dead trees for fire wood this winter, but much to our dismay it stormed all day.

Tuesday:

Amaree was with us today again...such fun.

The girls read stories and played with toys all day long. Then they found a bag of Q-tips. The sat on the floor for about 10 minutes trading back and forth the Q-tips. Once one of the girls had the whole bunch, the would trade back! What nutty girls!

Wednesday:

We had Amaree with us again - her usual sitter had her gal bladder out on Monday (hope you're feeling better). This was also the day I was to be "Hostess" of our Wednesday "Cards." A group of us get together and play until the babies have had it or we have put off the days work for too long. We play Hand and Foot, Kings Gone Crazy, Golf, 7 Up, Nerts. Loads of fun.

After the group went home, I was sitting down to some lunch of Mac and Cheese when I get a call from UBMC, the hospital I work at. (head over there and take a look at the newborn nursery to see all the beautiful babies born there on a daily basis) They said that they were wondering if I could come in and help that night. I told them I was busy until about 8:00pm. A few phone calls later and I was planning to go into work at 9:30pm.

By that time I was just a little stressed out. We had our monthly P (for Personal Progress) Party that night for Young Women. We learned how to make the cutest bows. I was having so much fun making bows for P Jo and I that I didn't leave until 8:45...I had go home, change my clothes and leave for work within 15 minutes. Needless to say I made it - I only went 5 miles above the speed limit on the Ioka lane.

At the hospital there were 3 moms in labor and 5 moms and 5 babies on top of that. One delivered at 9:06, I did her recovery. Then at 11:15 the next two moms in line went complete within 10 minutes of each other. Having only 1 CNA working that night, I had the "lovely" chance to learn a new job with no time to prep! I was so shaky. But the Doc said I did fine. The next two babies were delivered 8 minutes apart 11:50pm and 11:58pm. I really do love my job. (I don't want this to sound like a bash session.) After doing a second recovery I was able to go home at 4:00am.

Thursday:

I fell asleep this morning at around 4:45am and was able to sleep until 7:45am...that is actually a decent amount of sleep after working a night shift! I woke up with Lee, who like me was called into work 2 hours early to unload a truck or something like that:) We have Amaree again today and her and P Jo had a nap at the same time so I zonked out as well. You may be wondering why I am taking the time to write this book of a blog post on little too no sleep...and the answer is I am beyond tired at the present and needed something to keep my mind from wandering to the clock every 20 minutes to wonder when Lee is coming home...4 and 1/2 hours baby!

Much love to all!
