Just a quick note of "something to consider" for Brett/Breanna. I talked to a nurse in the endoscopy dept and she said she loves her job even though people make jokes about it. She works from 5am to 2pm, monday through friday, NEVER is on call, NEVER works holidays or weekends. Sounds like a sweet schedule for a nurse.

Right now, I actually really like the idea of working three twelve hour shifts a week and being done to go play the rest of the week. Who else can do that?

Besides that, I want to work somewhere where I get actual experience in lots of different things, such as a med-surg floor so I don't forget everything I learned in school and be stuck in endoscopy my whole life.

Yeah.

Citizen: "HELP HELP! My child needs help! Someone help me!"

RN: "I'm a nurse! What's going on?"

Citizen: "He's blue, not breathing and shaking, and bleeding and oh please save my boy!"

RN: "Well, I don't know what to do about that, but I could watch a doctor stick a tube up his rear and change his bed sheets for him..."

I rest my case. No thanks.

Yea, I can understand that. Probably the same reason Brigham chose emergency medicine. I was telling Marilyn how boring that doctor's job must be. Same with the guy that did lasic on my eyes. Good money but I couldn't see myself doing that kind of work for 30 years.

Those poor Jehovah’s witnesses showed up at the door here again . They come here every few months or so. They rang the doorbell and my father-in-law (Craig) answered it. They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to. To make a long story short, he asked what makes the Jehovah's Whitnesses special and what was their "compelling doctrine". Their response was "well, we read the bible." Craig- "So do the Baptists, Catholics, and Mormons..... so what is special about your church" JW's- "we belive in Jesus Christ" Craig- "so do all of the Christians.... " JW's- "We preach the gospel" Craig- "Um... that still isn't original. Tell me why I should listen to you over anyone else" JW's- "Umm... I don't know..." Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...

Deathly Hallows A box came in the mail on Saturday...it contained TWO copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . One for me (happy birthday me from Chad) and one for Chad. I'm about 1/4 of the way through it. Do YOU have your copy?!? It's also officially my most hated time of year. Camping is over and it's HOT and even in the evenings it doesn't cool down much below 70 degrees. I can't wait for October, the best month of the year.

potty training done

Kiera is 100% in "tinkling" in her potty for 5 days now (except at night). I'd say potty training is done. I do have to say though that the transition from little potty to big potty was difficult (it didn’t help that Lydia was sick either). She would tinkle a tiny bit and then ask to go again 5-10 mins later all day long! Finally I was trying to make dinner and after being interrupted twice by her asking me to go (meanwhile my sick little Lydia cries hard when I leave the room with Kiera and if I bring her with she rolls around our nasty bathroom floor). So she came up and asked again “tinkles, mommy!” So I broke down and busted out the little potty and put her in front of the TV on it. I then picked up Lydia and nursed the poor little thing to sleep. Kiera tinkled quite and bit and was quite pleased with her self and pulled out the tray beneath the potty that holds the tinkles before I could stop her (I don’t run very fast when I’m holding a sleeping baby). Of cour...
