my new job

so for some of you, you know that i am now working at a nursing home closer to home. it is about two miles from home, which is nice. i am working on the alzheimers unit there (sometimes it feels more like the psych ward) but these people don't understand that they are hurting us, so we are ok with the abuse we sometimes encounter at work. ryan too works on the same unit. i am working day shift and he does evenings. we are really enjoying having our shifts back this way. i am now able to sleep at night and spend time with the girls in the evenings.

on the way home from work i noticed that someone was giving away a treadmill. i, like maria, am all about cheap, but free is better. i have been wanting to get a piece of exercise equipment and since the man was outside the house i stopped to see if it still worked and when he said it did, i asked him to help me get it in my van. so now i have a treadmill and the man said to me as i left, "happy exercising" which i thought was really nice of him to wish me well.

kenzie went to zoey's birthday party last saturday, and had a blast. she wants to have hers at the park where zoey had hers. we are thinking about it. kenzie will be 6 on sunday, so we are planning on doing a party later this month or early next month. will keep everyone posted as i can on that.

we wish everyone well and talk to you all soon

Kenzie's day at school

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems. Using the topic "Build with Me," we will read stories about building things and working together to solve problems. You can help your child learn more by talking with him/her about things she/he is doing at school and the new letters and words that he/she is learning. Here are some ways that you can work with your child at home. Think and Talk: What did y...

What Your City Walk Means You are thoughtful and contemplative. You enjoy spending time alone with your thoughts. You are generally confident and friendly with strangers.

If you had the means, you'd like to explore the whole world. The City Walk Personality Test

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
