who will help mother hen?... "not I said the cat"

You are the reason I can enjoy the sun. You make the beauty in this world worth while. Without your radiance, the flowers wouldn't be so sweet. The blossoms out the window wouldn't matter....because... 

When you are in a picture every aspect becomes brighter.
You make our house a home, with you in it, the air is lighter.
You raised a flock of crazies and we love you for our looney!
Without your loving laughter, our lives would be so gloomy!

Margaret Anne, you are a star. You light up and glow.
You are my guiding light on earth, more than you will ever know!
Never doubt, never second guess your worth.
'Cause mama, I don't wanna curse!

I love you M.A.C.

Irony can be cruel..

How do I put this down. How do I allow myself to type myself into vulnerability?

You opened the way when I thought there was none; A room with no escape, no windows, no doors. Feelings, dormant, awakened by a smile and those eyes. Everything else slipped away, my tongue loosed and I spoke of things I had kept silent. I felt safe.

Like many a thing, I have made the wrong move. It seems now, I can't make it back to where it was headed. Some say I'm in love.Well, I don't know about that. What I do know catches me off guard, the thought of you is there when I ought to be thinking of anything but you. You are a constant, an unshakeable allure. Oh to be in those beautiful arms and hearing that smooth voice simply... speak.

I must let you go. Let go of what I never had. Wishing what plays in my head was what I could wake up to.

Ooh...I got da' fever!

I have had a fever on only three occasions over the years. Saturday night, I was visited by that third wave of fever. Although I considered the possibility of my body trying to match my outer "hotness" with some good ole' fashioned fever, I came to conclude, I was in fact sick. My fever has broken but alas, I still suffer with swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, headache, and the sadness that I couldn't go to work today.

I suppose I hadn't realized how much I had come to genuinely care about what I do for a living, until recently. It spans beyond just a job, I feel like what I do each shift makes a difference. (Oh.. I feel a plug for my work coming on.)
Okay, If anyone out there is pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or have any other procedure done requiring a choice of hospital; look no further than LDS hospital. I may be bias, but I can guarantee that you will be cared for beyond your expectations. We are constantly striving to meet and exceed the needs and wants of our patients and guests. On my unit, west -4 maternity, we are like a family and our patients are like adopted members. You will not find a more dedicated team to help you with your new baby!

Alright, that was fun. I really do enjoy my job, and today, I do believe, I officially decided I am going to do all I can to go back to school to be an RN in the fall! Wish me luck, and may my A's be bountiful!
