So, this one a month thing is kinda funny. For some reason, I am just not very good about thinking about blogging! I love to read other people's blogs who update frequently!
This sure has been a mild winter. We have had snow, but not much at any one time, and then it melts quickly. The kids haven't gotten in my sledriding/snowboarding.
Actually, by the time the kids get off the bus, they are usually too tired to do much playing. They usually hang out reading books or watching a movie or something. So, fun time is usually Saturdays. They are all doing well in school. Crazy kids and their brains. They are all smarter than their parents. Seriously, I am not just saying that because Heidi is on the brink of teenagedom and really thinks that sometimes!
I am enjoying my schooling. I am attending Phoenix online. The first class I took was more like a 3 week orientation to online schooling. I thought is needed to be about 2 days. It was more than excessive in my humble opinion. This class is a bit more intriguing. I have gotten to play around with designing powerpoint presentations and working with a team on projects. Our discussion in the forum have been dynamic and at times enlightening. I got to study the lives of 2 nurses, Clara Barton and Sharon Ann Lane. They were both 'war' nurses. Sharon was in the Vietnam War, and it was interesting to me. My dad was a medic in Vietnam and was there during the same time she was. Anyway, learning about their drive and dedication to nursing and helping wounded soldiers is inspiring. I only have 2 weeks left of this class, so it is winding down. Wonder what the next one will be like?
Next Monday is D day for me... I am going to have surgery on my ankle. I have had problems with it for over 15 years. I guess it is time to get it taken care of. I am not really anxious about surgery. But I AM anxious about recovery. The doctor is scoping it first to figure out what the issues are, and then she will be cutting in and fixing all the problems. It sounds like there are several issues to be dealt with. So, I really don't know what surgery will be, or what the recovery will be. I am hoping it is a quick and easy fix! HA! So, you'll have to been thinking about my poor family as they put up with me and my grouchiness for the next month or so! I do not deal well with this type of thing. I like to be on the move and getting things done! Not sitting around resting!
I miss my peeps at work! I haven't been able to work for over a month. Walking through the grocery store causes pain, that brings me to tears. So... working for an 4-8 hr shift is simply unthinkable. So... I am missing everyone! We have such a good time picking on each other! And from what I hear, there has been some staff turnover, too. So, there will be new faces to meet when I get back there!
Hope all is well with you guys!
