Life has been crazy these last few weeks. Once Christmas was over with I was able to start working on getting my nursing license reinstated. I had to do 80 hours in a job setting under the supervision of an RN. I finished that a week ago. I was able to work at the VAMC and really liked it there. Now I have to get my resume out and start looking for a job. Even with the nursing shortage, jobs are slim picking, especially when you want to work a night shift. I hated working the evening shift from 3-11:30pm. I missed my kids sooooooo much. I missed talking to them after they got out of school. I missed snuggling with them before putting them to bed. I just plain missed them. But I have to remember that things will work out how I need them to and Heavenly Father will bless me. My kids are resilient. I think it will be harder on me to go back to work than it will for them to have me gone more. I wish I had that strength.
Christopher was supposed to start basketball last week. I was so excited for him to have this opportunity to get out there and have that social experience. Well the very week before he was supposed to start, he fell on the ice at school and broke his arm. It took me 3 days to take him to the doctor. I wanted to make sure it was really broken and not just bruised before I paid all that money to get him seen. Of course our insurance had changed and we had a gap. Of course...... But he broke both his radius and his ulna. They put him in a splint and told us to come back in a week. When we came back, they said it was healing but thought a different splint with more support would be better. So now we are on splint number 2. Luckily we have not needed a cast. We are at least grateful for that. As long as it is healing in the splint we won't need a cast. He is bummed that he doesn't get to do basketball. But that is life. Ever changing and never boring.
At home things are tense. Jake is still living here in Katy's room. The divorce is almost final. We are just waiting on the judge to sign the papers. It will be nice to be able to move on with life..... Whatever life may bring......
Here is a picture of Katy with a few of her favorite things. Her binky, her blanky and her baby.
