Hello? anyone home?

NO, I DID NOT FALL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH....BUT I SURE DID SEE THE FACE OF THE EARTH....





NO WAIT, THAT WAS MY BROTHER'S PORCELAIN BOWL......PAUL HAD THE CHANCE TO SEE IT UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL TOO ON SATURDAY........





IF YOU HAVEN'T GUESSED IT, WE HAD A STOMACH VIRUS OR OTHERWISE KNOWN AS VIRAL ENTERAL-GASTRITIS, THIS WEEKEND WHILE VISITING MY BROTHER'S FAMILY. AND I PRAY, PRAY, PRAY THAT THEY ARE NOT GETTING SICK.......





BUT THE KIDS HAD A GOOD TIME PLAYING WITH THEIR COUSINS, GOING TO PIZZA PLACE THAT HAD A PLAYGROUND AND GAMES, AND SWIMMING AT THE Y. I REALLY ENJOYED HANGING OUT AND TALKING WITH MY SISTER-IN-LAW, BROOKE AND MY BROTHER, BRENT....(WHILE MY HUSBAND LAID IN WRETCHING OR SHOULD I SAY RETCHING? PAIN AND DEHYDRATION!)





SO WE'RE BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS....PAUL'S BEEN BUSY INTRODUCING A NEW PROTOCOL FOR THE ACUTE CARE AT THE HOSPITAL.....NOT TO GET TOO WAY OVER YOUR HEADS BUT TO INDUCE HYPOTHERMIA IN PATIENTS THAT ARE OR HAVE EXPERIENCE CARDIAC ARREST.....HYPOTHERMIA ACTUALLY HELPS THEIR NEURO-FUNCTION AFTERWARDS....ANYWAYS LOTS OF MEETINGS WITH COMMITTEES, CARDIOLOGISTS, ACUTE CARE REPRESENTATIVES...........I'M SO PROUD OF HIM....HE'S SO SUPER SMART....AND IT ALL REALLY STARTED FROM THIS ARTICLE WE BOTH READ IN AN ACUTE CARE JOURNAL AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE COOL TO IMPLEMENT IT IN THE HOSPITAL....SO HE'S BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH AND LOBBYING FOR IT AT THIS TIME.





AS FOR C-MAN, HE'S BEEN WRITING AWAY AND VERY EXCITED FOR HIS FAVORITE HOLIDAY; HALLOWEEN AND TRICK OR TREATING.


MISS-O HAS A RUNNY NOSE, BUT STILL REMAINS FUNNY AND SWEET THROUGH IT ALL.



ME? I JUST GOT MY SECOND TO LAST GROUP OF STUDENTS TODAY. BY THE END OF THE SEMESTER I'LL HAVE HAD 36 STUDENTS! MY WISH IS AT LEAST TO HAVE LEFT AN IMPRESSION ON ONE OF THEM. I'VE HAD GOOD FEEDBACK SO FAR, I'M "REAL", APPROACHABLE, PATIENT, AND HONEST. THOSE ARE BETTER EVALS THAN LAST FALL SEMESTER, I WAS MEAN AND INTIMIDATING....OH, WHAT A DIFFERENCE IN PERSONALITIES WILL MAKE!



JUST WANT TO TYPE AND GET THINGS UP AND RUNNING AGAIN......JUST DOING SOME CATCHING UP....YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE SICK THINGS DON'T GET DONE......SO I PRAYED FOR THE CLEANING AND LAUNDRY FAIRIES.....AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE REAL! I BELIEVE!



I KNOW MY LAUNDRY FAIRY IS ABOUT 5'5"? GAVE BIRTH TO MY HUSBAND! YES! MY MOTHER-IN-LAW IS A GODSEND! SHE DID MY LAUNDRY AND DISHES. (MOTHER-IN-LAW'S WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET ON THE BLOG! HEE...HEE...JUST KIDDING MICHELLE!)



SO THIS IS MY THOUGHT, SHE AND BROOKE NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND FORM CLASSES ON ORGANIZATION/CLEANING,ETC. GO TO PEOPLE'S HOUSES DO MAKE-OVERS AND THEN GIVE CLASSES ON HOW TO MAINTAIN THE ORGANIZATION! THESE CLASSES WILL HAVE TO BE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.........ANYWAYS, I WOULD SIGN UP FOR THEIR SESSIONS......AND I WOULD PAY GOOD MONEY FOR THAT.......MICHELLE SAYS SHE LOVES TO ORGANIZE, I'M NOT SURE IF BROOKE LOVES IT, BUT I KNOW SHE'S REALLY, REALLY GOOD AT IT....SO THERE'S MY NEW WORK FOR THE TWO OF YOU.....SORRY MICHELLE, HAVE TO COME BACK FROM RETIREMENT TO START THIS ENTREPENEURSHIP! THERE'S WEDDING PLANNERS? NOW WE NEED HOUSE PLANNERS!



I USED TO BE ORGANIZED WHEN I WAS SINGLE AND LIVING IN A SMALL APARTMENT.............................. NOW I HAVE THREE PEOPLE AND A DOG UNDOING EVERYTHING THAT I DO....THAT'S MY DILEMMA.

GLAD TO BE BACK....
