ER and end of break coming soon.

You know how I said I got a preceptorship in a cardiac ICU? Well, a couple weeks ago I got an email from the instructor asking if I would like a ER/ED preceptorship instead. That was actually my first choice as I really want to know if I like emergency/trauma nursing. So, I am nervous but exciting to do my 48 hr in an ER. I will see and do a LOT!

I start back up to school Jan 11. I am hoping the semester will go fast. I am starting to print out my application materials. I am sending in my request for transcripts, getting my references lined up, and my resume finished. I am on my way.

Our vacation to Michigan was great. My new nephew is just as cute as can be. We miss him and my brother and sister in law already.

I got the Christmas decorations down this past week. I also did my post Christmas shopping to get stuff fore next year. Wrapping paper, gift tags, ornaments, lights etc. I bought some lights for outside and am going to make my hubby put them up next year. I also bought a 6' artificial tree to put up in the basement. We have a really big basement/playroom that we spend a lot of time in so I may do a traditional/white light more formal tree upstairs and a more homey/kids tree downstairs. I will use the colored lights and all the kid ornaments down there. I look forward to it already!

The kids are doing great. J has a mild ear infection so she is on amoxicilllin for that. She is busy playing with all her fun toys and adjusted to going back to school just fine. B was hoping not to go back to school. He told me "I just want to have peace at my home, and not get bossed around all day at school!" But he admitted that it is ok. He is having a great year in wrestling, but it seems to take up all our weekend time. He enjoys the tournaments, spending time with all the teammates. He is such a dedicated kid for only 7 yr old. I signed J up for gymnastics starting in Feb, and B up for 4 weeks of tennis lessons in April. Something different and hopefully fun. The cheerleading camp J liked before is not $48 for 2 /2 hr saturdays. I am not going to pay that much for 4 hr of cheerleading. The tennis lessons are 4 weeks and only $20.

Anyway, I better get kids fed, bathed, read to, and to bed. They both have school tomorrow.
Goodnight!
