MIA



My oh my, has it really been that long since I posted?? Yikes!! Huh. Time flies! So much has happened and continuing to happen that I could never post it all. Suffice it to say life is good, busy and full. And stressful! Oh so stressful! Anyhoo, rather than try to recap over two months of my life, I'm just going to start with the now!

Today was my last day as an hourly employee. I'd love to say I've retired or am going to be staying home, but nope! I have been promoted to nurse manager. Yikes!! I mean Yippee!! It means more hours and more responsibility. I'm excited and ready for the challenge, yet worried about the extra time away from home. I have not worked full time in oh, about 15 years! This is a very positive thing for our family, but it is not without some stressors of its own. I'll miss taking my kids to school and picking them up a couple of times a week, but I'll love knowing that I will never have to stay late on call or work nights or weekends!


Lookee what we have here to the right...
Yes, that is snow folks! We've had our first
measurable snow of the year. Many many fender
benders today according to the news. How can
people forget year to year how to drive in the snow?
Slow peeps. Take it S.L.O.W. public service
announcement complete.
All righty then, that is it for now. Thanks for staying with me (if you are still here)!
Peace.
Trish

    Welcome back lady!!! That is such wonderful news to hear about your promotion...HAPPY DANCE :)
    I remember going back to work after staying home 4 years with my kids...terrifying and exciting at the same time. You'll do great things i'm sure and be an awesome boss. If they don't listen, just bust out the blow-horn. Lol

    Ahhh...snow at last. It's freezing here too. Great public announcement btw...SLOW-IT-DOWN is right!!!

    P.S. Thank you so much for your sweet comment. It meant a lot to hear that, especially from such a wonderful gal like yourself. Will you shoot me an email with your address so i can send you a Christmas card? {My email is on my blog}

COMMENTS CLOSED!!! I'll be back later with a new post to share the winners :) Thanks to all who entered!! ONE WORLD-ONE HEART I'm proud to announce my One world-One heart giveaway!! This is my first year and I think it's way cool! A Whimsical Bohemian is the hostess for this amazing event and I "pirated" the follwing paragraph of info about the event from her: "The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong.We had a strong showing the first year for sure, and then in 2008 we had just about tripled that number.This is more than wanting to win something.......that is only the means..

Happy 4th! and... a Giveaway!

I hope everyone had a great holiday! The pic above is of our local fireworks, which we are lucky enough to be able to see from our house :) We had my family over today for a cookout. Steak and chicken on the grill. Yum!!! I chose the chicken. Weird right. I LOVE steak! However, I had two cupcakes yesterday that my daughter made and decorated red, white and blue for a party, so I felt like I'd indulged enough! I love cooking for people. I think I should have more parties :) I ran yesterday for the first time in a long time. I decided to try out the high school track made out of recycled tires. My hip (long story) was sore, but bearable. I started over with Week 5 of the Couch to 5K training program. Figured it was best not to rush it and injure myself again. I had enough left at the end to run the bleacher stairs for 3 minutes!! (My quads were screaming, but it felt oh so good ;) You can't really tell in the pic, but my face was sooo red! I hate that I get this red. My middle d
