Work is awesome. I love it. My father has always been right-when you have a job you love, it isn't 'work'.
I am working on the Women's Health floor. This is so my thing. I feel inspired again.
It was tough going back. I felt a little lonely at first, thinking of all of the kiddos at home. The kids always ask me what I do at the hospital and I tell them that I help people get better. I think it's important for children to see their parents helping others. And this, well, this job isn't always easy, and we see a lot of sad situations, but at the end of the day, I can come home and know that I've made a difference in someones life. That is powerful.
So, I've come to the conclusion that I have two powerful jobs. Being a mother, and being a healer.

Back To Normal...
...Well, as normal as we get around here. I am off of working days, which I am totally thrilled about. I took the kids to school this morning. I haven't been able to do that for five weeks and I missed it a lot. And this morning I thought for sure it would be chaotic since I haven't been on their morning routine for weeks, but it was unusually calm and organized as it always has been.
The weather was beautiful today. It was close to 60. I am so happy I had the day off. The girls and I had a wonderful morning outside. I figured I had better enjoy it, tomorrow high is only going to be 29. Gotta love the midwest.
So, I was able to catch up on some of my message boards.
Hey, DD, I thought of you and your post about message board ladies. You are right, they can be CrAzY. I started a little fight on one of mine today. I mean, god forbid someone actually has their own opinion. Well, they didn't like mine.
Laura, it's post 43 (you'll get a kick out of it) - I'll email you details about it.
And let me just say that while I support large families and the philosophies of large families, I do not support those who have more than they can financially handle. If you can't afford proper medical insurance, and the basic living needs and expect the government and tax payers to help support you and your dozen kids, then maybe it's time to think about getting your tubes tied. Seriously. I'm sure the tax payers would be more than happy to pay for that 'elective' surgery (<--that was part of my debate today on the board).
This may be Land of the Free, but this is not Land-of-the-free-handouts.
