A whole year older...

And not a lot to write home about. I had a birthday a week or more ago, and it has already come and gone. Mike had a lovely cake ordered from the place that did our wedding cake, and I was surprised with a Cuisinart food processor. I still can't wait to read the book. I have been wanting one for ages and ages, and it is sooo sparkly (chrome) and it matches so nicely with everything in the kitchen. I am so thrilled he remembered what I had asked for. :)

I have been working a TON at work. I feel like when I worked on Monday that that was already last week, but it really was just a few days ago. Time flies, and while time flies, my house turns into a war zone. It is literally so nasty and gross, and while the paycheck will be really nice (my checks are going to our vacation fund) I am beyond exhausted. I thought I wasn't going to work until 1 pm today, and low and behold, the phone rang at 730 needing me to come in. I feel lucky that they want me to work and cover so much, but at times it isn't thrilling to be sent to a clinic where it really isn't inviting, and it gives me a high level of anxiety. I don't know that it will ever go away (that feeling) maybe when I get hired to work at a permanent spot I suppose. I mean, I do have a home that I am scheduled to work at, but on the days I am not scheduled I am being borrowed to fill in for others that need time off at other clinics. When I am home, I am very content, and I am building a rapore with my patients. It feels nice.

We are all passing around the coughs here. I got a bad ear infection last week that I am still on antibiotics for, my mom has the cough, and Matthew is now getting it. We all sound like a bunch of hackers here, and it isn't pretty. I just want to feel well so we can go to the beach for the weekend. I don't dare take any of us when we are like this since the wind is sooo strong there on the cold waters. We'd all end up with something wretched, no doubt.

I have a couple of new pics of the kids..those should be up soon. :)
