I realize I've not written anything in a long time. Much has happened...Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, somwhat of a promotion (new title anyways), more tradgedy in the ICU and some serious self-evaluation.
Thanksgiving was wonderful (I wasn't working) and I loved hearing the girls tell what they were thankful for!
Christmas was awesome. We spent great time with family, on both sides. Had a wonderful family oriented church service. Saw my kids become even more spoiled rotten than usual.
New Years was as usual...we didn't do anything spectacular and I was in bed before the New Year. I spent New Years day with my "icu family". Unfortunatley 2010 didn't start out well for us at the hospital. My co-workers husband was killed in a sledding accient. Yes, I know...more tradgedy for the ICU. It is awful and not right. I've spent this week, going to the visitation and funeral. I'm very sad for her and her family and am keeping them close to my heart and spending lots of time praying for them and for everyone in the ICU. Yes, we deal with trauma everyday, but when it is someone in your inner-circle it hurts like you've never experienced it before.
I became a Charge Nurse in the ICU. Those who know me well won't be surprised. Me "in charge", I know, I know. :)
I've been really counting my blessings, taking time to be thankful and hugging my kids a lot!
I've re-focused myself...applied for admission to Indiana Wesleyan University. I will be finishing my Bachelor's in Business Administration. I am excited about it and the possibilities that it brings for me.
I am going to start my journey toward my original career goals...Administration. I will try to keep you updated on my progress! Feel free to send some prayers and good thoughts my way!
