GREETINGS FROM ORLANDO, I hope everyone has had a great week cannot believe that September is almost gone. This weekend Ian and I drove up with gidget to South Carolina to help my dad celebrate his 75Th birthday.

Left right after work on Friday night, rough drive it is about 8 hours to my parents house so i got there around 2 in the morn. Gidget did very well for her first road trip. The drive was pretty uneventful until we got to the last three hours it rained that heavy rain, all the way through South Carolina, i guess it was all that rain that Georgia got.

My brother John drove up from Kansas city, Sister Patty, came with her family from Atlanta Georgia, and my son came from North Carolina with my cute little grandsons. Big news is Henry is now potty trained yeah and before he was 4. yeah again.

It was a nice turn out for my dad, it was nice seeing my nieces and sister Patti and her family. Sunday we got up and had breakfast with the family we still get looks when we go somewhere to eat. There is a lot of us, and we were all not there. I use to get embarrassed by that. We would go into a restaurant, and everyone would look at us like we were some kind of freak show, all those kids. Then of course my brothers had to all have red hair so that was really a sight. I remember we were always so good when we would go out to eat it was such a rare occasion, people would always come up and compliment my parents on how good we were, They did not know about my dad and his finger thunks. :)

Anyway we all had a good time and Ian and i with miss gidget headed back on Sunday after breakfast with the family got home around 8:30 that night, drive back was allot nicer. No rain. Gidget once again was quite the trooper.

today i dragged butt all day , and what am i doing up still, i don't know but i think i will sign off. tomorrow is picture day at the school, and i was told i had to get my picture taken, wonder how i can get out of this.

Peace:)

I am a school nurse :)

i know , i know , i have not been blogging in such a long time. Life has been busy, allot has happened. So last time i was on here,, i was working at the psych place, i liked to refer to it as the hotel :) There is an old saying three hots and a cot. this is referring to a homeless person who wants to rest awhile all they have to do is go to a policeman and say they want to commit suicide. The police haul them over to a psych place where they have 24 hours cause that is how long a doctor has to see them. In the meantime they are getting a shower, three hot meals and a bed to sleep in.

Anyway i am no longer there, i have got a new job as a school nurse and I am loving it. I am at an elementary school grades k-5th grade, So far i am loving it. i am still trying to get things arranged and organized. This was my second week and everyday there is another challenge.

My first day was busy i started right away taking temps, i had so many kids that first day that i did not even have time to sit down. So far i have checked for lice, took care of bloody noses, taken a lot of temperatures. giving out loose tooth necklaces, I have had two fractures and the list goes on.

Last weekend i spent the weekend painting my office, I am working on now is getting a mural painted on the wall. i am almost organized have to get my forms in order Right now i am working on getting donations for stuff like underpants , socks and some used clothing i have had three accidents since i have been working, like u know wetting of the pants and so i have been lucky in the fact that i had something for them to wear but this Friday i was not so lucky so i had to go out to Kmart real quick and pick up something everything up. I am going to ask the parents to send in a package of new underpants in their kids size , or socks or any gently used clothing they may have and so hopefully i will have all the sizes covered.

tonight i made some ( i know i am sewing again) ice pack covers, i hated sending kids back to class with a plastic baggy of ice this way they will have something cool to take back to class with ice in it. I have tons of material and so tonight i made like five of them they are cute,

Yes i am sewing again i finally got my sewing room back together, although i still have to paint and make some minor adjustments but other than that, it is clean and organized and ready for me to get sewing .

Next weekend i am going up to Sumter South Carolina to see my family my dad turns 75 i know wow. So Ian and i are heading up and meeting my son Jeremy and his crew there.

I have not been to any of the parks or done anything like that for awhile now. I am so busy with my job and then the last couple of weekends have been taken up with getting things cleaned up around the house and all. Still cleaning out boxes today i cleaned out two more. i know , i know what can i say other than i am taking things slow. ;0

Well i guess i better go now, i think i have sent all people my new email at work, it is vicki.setzer@opsc.net. , i still have all my others, and you are welcome to send me email there if you so desire.
