Fantastic News!

Prayers have been answered!

Tonight I can rest well! This weekend I can finally exhale. My "laughter" will no longer be forced, and my "smiles" won't be faked.

I got a call today from my PRN job, and they want to bring me on full time until my hospital decides what they're going to do. They said they want to bring me on full-time for good...but understand my situation with the contract.

?!?!?!

How is this even possible?! It's like, too good to be true. I'm seriously pinching myself here.

And even better?!?!....

My position is 6am-2:30 pm M-F.

WHAT?!?!?!!!! This kind of schedule does NOT exist in healthcare, my friends.

I got offered a job on Wednesday that was going to be 16 hr night shifts on the weekends plus 1 hr night shift during the week. And I was going to accept that crappy schedule....because I want to be a nurse, already!

But starting Monday morning it's real!!!

(Meanwhile..I'm still waiting for my hospital to snap-to-it and set up an interview so we can get that show on the road). But this is a HUGE peace of mind!

I seriously have NOT been myself since....graduation?! I've been worried, stressed out, scared, and melancholy. It's probably good Ryan has been traveling so much -- b/c my attitude has been almost "life-sucking".

I know this isn't that big of a deal. It's just a full time job. But this has been a battle!! So I'm counting my blessings right now!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I'm waiting for Ryan to fly in tonight at 10 pm and then I'm ready to kick off a fun weekend!

It IS a big deal!! You are building a home after all!! So I know it's a huge relief to have a job. And it's really cool that they understand that you will work for Oro Valley when they get their rears in gear and offer you a job!

See, I knew it would all work out! I know it's hard to believe that when you are in the middle of a crisis like this, but I KNEW all along that you'd find something. ;) Congrats!!

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith

8 Months

 Well, I missed month 1-8. But it is never too late to begin, right? Here is a recap of Maddy at 8 months. (I'm totally stealing this idea from my sister, Lisa. I thought it was so neat that she recaps her son's favorites and happenings every month)   How am I sleeping? Better than I was - but not as good as my peers. It also depends on if I'm teething. Last week, her 2nd tooth was poking through - so she was awake 3 times.  No matter how much I let her cry it out, I cannot seem to cut down her feedings. When I go in there - she is literally pulling at my shirt with her mouth wide open. So clearly she's hungry.  She eats 2 times/night and luckily goes right back to sleep. It is what it is. What am I eating? While we have had breastfeeding and bottle refusal struggles - I am so glad that taking to food as been relatively smooth. We are doing baby led weaning, and Maddy really enjoys most every food I've given her.  Her favorite foods are scrambled eggs, apples, and c

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for
