Friday again?

Is time just slipping away?  It seems so strange that March is almost here.  I feel like time passes so quickly, and yet also feel in a rut. In most areas of my life. Exercise, or lack of it. Marriage. Just the day to day stuff.  Is it just the winter blahs?  I need something to motivate me or kick start my doll drum life.  Not sure what that really entails............... but hopefully I will figure it out. 

Gym tomorrow and the start of some spring cleaning.  Maybe that will be the ticket.  I just want to start in  my basement, and work my way up to the top.  3 floors.  Too overwhelming to do all in one weekend, so I thought I would just start with one room in the basement.  Maybe cleaning out a room will also help clean out some of the cobwebs or stress in my day to day life. 

Only time will tell..............

TGIF NOT

What a day.  Work is/was/will be crazy.  I'm on call this weekend.  Even though it was hectic and insane today, I loved it.  I like the energy of a really hectic day.  Working at a therapeutic boarding school is still a little new, but I love it.  Then, I get a call from the sheriff.  Asking me my address, name, and if I know anything about a 98 Subaru..........................  and that he's at my house now, wanting to talk with me about a hit and run accident.   WTF?  Turns out my daughter, who was supposed to drive right to her dad's house, decided to take a little detour to Barnes and Noble/ Starbucks.  While backing out of the parking spot, she scraped/bumped the car (empty) next to her.  Some good Samaritan saw all of this and took down her license plate #.  Yay for them.  >: /       I mean, I'm glad she is being held accountable, but wow is this an expensive lesson to learn.  She didn't think there was that much damage, and left the "scene".  Her dad took her back and talked with the sheriff, and now we have a court date, plus a hefty fine I'm sure, and also a nice repair bill for the car that was parked by hers.  At least the owner seemed pretty chill about it all.  He is going to get an estimate and then let us write him a check.  I hope it all works out.  I'm glad no one was hurt.  But I am still pretty mad.  She gets to pay us back after we pay the fine and the repair costs.  She also will be turning over her iPhone and getting my old cell phone instead.  I was going to ground her, but she never goes anywhere.  She usually drives to work and school.  That's it.  So grounding her really wouldn't teach much.  But turning over her paychecks and phone will at least be a start.  You don't get to have nice expensive toys when you have a debt to pay.  We are also hope full that when the court date arrives, we can maybe get the fine dropped since it happened in a parking lot, with an empty car, and no one was hurt.  Maybe they will also let her do some community service to pay some of the debt.  Fingers are crossed.  And toes.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. 

Epiphany

Today I had an epiphany.  Many people have wondered why I went into the nursing field.  Myself included. I guess I needed a job fast, and as a newly single mom, I needed something that would allow me to provide for my two girls.  My best friend was going through the college catalog with me, and we stopped for minute on the dental hygienist page, and she said you don't want to have your hands in someones mouth all day long so let's keep looking...................  and we pretty much picked RN and the rest is history.  Kind of makes me laugh now.  Having my hands in someones mouth all day?  Where did we think my hands would be when I was an RN?  :)

Anyhoo........ I had one of my kiddos come in and needed me to fix a blister.  Pretty easy stuff, but after I was finished it hit me.  I love this job because I get to do "mom" stuff all day long. I work at a therapeutic boarding school.  I love my kiddos.  I know they are far from home and just need some TLC.  I fix owies (yes, teenagers do get owies), blisters, check for fevers, make appointments, take out stitches.  You get the idea.  Much more than most school nurses because we are able to have a running clinic right on campus.  I love love love love it.  Just happened to have a light bulb moment today. 

Have a good weekend.
