Tuesday WLS Express

ALL ABOARD !!!

Good morning, all! I couldn't get logged on yesterday morning, then just never got another opportunity to back in. I should LET life get too busy to get in HERE--with the peeps I need SO badly, and love SO much...

Busy week, in my world. I'm squishing 5 days into 4, as I'm taking off Friday. I'm going to Austin, a day ahead of the rest of the family, to spend some 1:1 time with my younger brother, who gets there today, from his home, in Nebraska. I can't even remember the last time I had him "to myself"-even for a few hours. I'll also get to spend Easter with his grandbabies, Ayden and Emma (the ones in my recent FB pics). It's a win/win!

The "job offer" thing, from a couple of weeks ago, is back on the table, and they have sweetened the pot-throwing in better benefits and things that mean more to me (like hands-on patient time). My current job position is taking me further and further away from the pt bedside, so it's alot to consider. I THOUGHT the matter was over and done with. Crap..but it's a GOOD crap, to "have" to deal with, I guess !!

Soooooo happy to see GINNY up and at 'em! Have I missed an update on AMANDA?

Time to get in gear-so glad the OH tech grimlins looked kindly upon me, this morning, and allowed me to log in...now...crossing fingers that this post will hold....

LOVE Y'ALL !!!

 Morning Gina and TMB Family,

SO glad that they sweetened the deal for you Gina.    Sounds like this may be a "God thing",    Amanda is doing well...she came to our breakfast on saturday.    She still needs to talk it easy and not do too much...even 25 yrs. old can do too much.  LOL    Please pray for my middle son's GF's parents.   They are BOTH in jepordy of losing their jobs.    In fact my son's GF ended up in ER yesterday and I have a feeling stress from the news of her parents losing their jobs caused that CVS disease to raise it's ugly head and attack her.     So please also keep Kendall in  your prayers.    I too had NO issues this AM posting.    Not sure what has been going on with OH and those issues but I have had major issues changing forums for quite sometime in the AM.   Hope those issues are over finally.     Have a wonderful and great day today everyone,


Hugs and blessings ~~ Vivian

VIVIAN-prayers being extended for Kendall and her family. I always realize how blessed I am to be in a "fruitful" profession, and never take it for granted.

I know the OH "geeks" are fervently trying to "upgrade" the systems, so I just try to be patient when things don't go the way I want them to. I'm just thankful OH is HERE--I'd be long dead without it

 Me too Gina.   I'm not sure where I would  be today without OH and all the support that I have received here.    Thank you for praying for Kendall's family.    I can't imagine what they are going through.    I know Kendall's CVS flairing up hasn't helped them with their job situations either.   I didn't find out till last night when I called her to let her know my son called.    She usually lets me know when she goes to the ER.    Guess she was too upset.    Thank you my friend for all you do on here and outside of OH too.   Love ya Gina.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Gina= sorry I'm hopping on so late but I just wanted to say that you're an incredible person who is very loyal and that is commendable for sure. But, if the new job wants you that badly at the very least it should tell you what a valuable nurse you are and if they offer benefits that benefit you, then you might consider it. Obviously its up to you, but I just wanted to say what an incredible person I believe you are.

Good morning

Today will be a repeat of yesterday, work work work. We'll be keeping an eye on the weather so I know when / if I need to give dog meds as it is hard to work with a 75lb dog is climbing on your desk and lap.

Gina, I am sure you will make the right decision just follow your heart,

Viv, praying for the family facing possible job lose

Have a great day

Your dog just wanted to type to us too! Hope the storms were okay for him.

Good Morning all!!

Gina I agree to do what your heart tells you to.  They really want you to put that offer back on the table. Have a good time in Austin. Good luck to you!!

Vivian, I will keep your family in my prayers. Times are hard enough. Prayers sent.

Today we, well I am finishing up laundry. Potty training begins. I know he understands b/c he has been going once a day in the potty just to get to flush the toilet & do the potty dance. He actually makes himself go..lol Too funny. I bought pull ups & if anyone has suggestions pass them along. :)

And same ole' same, scentsy things..lol Oh yeah will def. call the college today to see if they received my transcripts & make an appt. hope they accept the majority of them!!

Also if anyone knows someone that does, carpentry, remodels? We have to get our closet redone due to a pipe that busted a few weeks ago & looking for a few estimates. Thanks I'm in Rowlett by Dallas if anyone knows anyone I'd appreciate it!!

Have a great day everyone!!

Jovi

JOVI-my "boys" are big now-22 and 20-but I VIVIDLY remember the potty training days!

The 2nd one was easy..day care did it..lol...the 1st one was a bit tougher..but he remembers it, he said..He said his fave part was "the Cherrios". I would throw a Cheerio in the toilet, and he would "aim at it"..granted, his "aim" wasn't too great, at first...and...to this day, I can't eat Cherrios...but, it served it's purpose, for the potty training thing.!!!

What worked for my nephew, recently, was getting him "super" underwear. First it was  Ninja Turtles, then SpongeBob, then Angry Birds. He didn't want to "pee on SpongeBob" (which I didn't understand, since SB lives under the ocean anyway, but you get the idea)..

Hope some of this rambling helps you, and your little mister!!!
