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.
