Last day!

Oh, by the way! Today is my last day of work! They had a potluck for me, and everyone had such nice things to say! I am really going to miss the people I work with and work for. The other day in Walmart, I saw an owner of one of the group homes we had gone in to to help one of their clients. We did a lot of work with him. He would headlock people and get very anxious, was very, to the T, routine. He did so well, with us! Anyway, I said hi to her and asked how things were going. She said great! She then said, "Thanks again for your help." And for the first time, really, I felt good about the job I have been doing. I hadn't really felt that before.

So today when I came in to work, I really thought I was going to feel no emotion towards the part of leaving the workforce. But I sat here and was a little sad that this was the last day I would be helping the people that used this service. I will also miss the people in my office. They have always been wonderful, with words of encouragment, motivation, understanding, and lots of laughter. I will truly miss them.

So! I'm on to the next adventure! I'm taking the big plunge in to the unknown, and see how the water flows!

Thanks for all of your prayers and nice words! It's been greatly appreciated.

What exactly did you do? It sounds like you use to work on the floor like I am doing now...but what came next? And HOW did you get there? (although I can't imagine NOT working on the floor...someday I will get there!)

Ran into Kristina Merkouris at the Oak Gallery yesterday...seems you did too recently! Small world!
How's it going...how's being at home? Are you busier than you ever thought?

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

Round two!

I got to come home for a little bit and play with Brady and Halle, give them a bath (me a shower) and then laid them down for a nap. I took some ibuprofen, I think I have an overdose of a "caffeine, lack of sleep, still wearing my contacts" headache! So now I am going to try and nap a little and then it's back to the hospital with Shelby for round two of SLUMBER PARTY AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A SICK BABY! Not worthy of all caps joy, but I'm trying to be optimistic about it all! So we had a rough night last night, she didn't sleep for a full hour from 9-1am, then she had a bit of an issue with her nebulizer treatment (meaning she didn't like it) and then her IV came out. Yadda yadda. Finally at 3 am she was ready to settle down and then she slept till 7am. On my chest. Luckily I was tired enough to get most of that sleep as well, until about 6:30ish. I just feel so bad for her! I felt bad for me a little too about 1:00 am. I wanted to just cry my eyes out from bein...

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a...
