Working Mama

I have been doing some things for work the past couple of weeks and it has felt great!  We worked Ryan's schedule out so he worked a few long days to take the days off I had to go in to work so that he could stay home with the kids.  I think it was good for everyone!  I also worked a 12 hour night shift on Friday night.  Since Ryan worked the weekend, Sue came to play with the kiddos!  I tell you, I do not miss the exhaustion of staying up for over 24 hours, essentially missing an entire night of sleep and then only sleeping a couple hours in the morning.  However, it was GREAT to get back to the hospital and work with the new moms and their babes.  I have picked up a couple shifts already in the next month and am excited for them, too.  I even had the chance to go get my hair done (which is a 3 hour deal).  Ryan and I went out for dinner Saturday night and were going to go see a movie, but were too tired out so came home and watched the Olympics instead.  

The kids of course had a fabulous time with Grandma!  I don't think they cared much about Mommy the entire weekend.  They have colds and were a bit more sensitive than usual, so hopefully they didn't share the bug with Grandma!  Thanks for coming to help us out Sue!  We truly appreciate all you do!
P.S.  I can't usually get my children to sit this close to each other without fighting...there is something about grandma's!

Good for you for getting out of the house! I'm sure it was a nice change.
