Good luck, Deb! I need to find something (though I don't really want to give up the preschool either). I don't even know where to start looking.

I hope you can figure out a place to start looking. It is a tough job market

 

[MrsHeg]

Good Morning,

Good luck Deb

 

[babytrees]

I have 5 straight days off...took that as a sign from God that this was the week to find a new job and yesterday there was a very interesting ad in the paper...close and day time hours. Will be sending the resume tomorrow

 

[bethbuchall]

Good luck, Theresa!

It's another snow day here. We are, unfortunately, out of snow days. That means that they will be going to school on the Friday before Memorial Day now. Today is a necessary snow day, but that doesn't make it any easier.

getting ready to take the twins for their 2 month check up. only 2 weeks late, as this is the first available for the Dr. Can't wait to see what his scale says for their weights. mine says Julia is over 9lbs and Sabrina is over 8lbs.

Good morning, DDA!

I am sorry I have not posted anything lately. It is a time management issue. No time to manage!
Bob is improving some. We are hoping that this morning he will be able to get into a wheelchair. That will be his first time actually out of and away from a bed in seven weeks. The other good news is that if all goes well we may be headed back to Fredericksburg to HealthSouth, a rehab hospital. The feeling is that it can possibly be this week and the stay should be about three weeks. Keep your fingers crossed!

Continued good thoughts for Bob!

 

[bethbuchall]

Elin, my fingers are crossed, and I'm sending good thoughts your way!

Jennifer, I hope that the 2-month check-ups went well.

Snow day here too. I think we make it up at the end of the school year. With rain, freezing rain and now snow. No power from after midnight until around 11:30 this morning. I'm glad our house retains heat well as it was manageable.

Wow, their still tiny. Nick weighed 8 lbs 2 oz at birth

I hope he can move closer to home that should make life a bit easier for you Has he passed the swallow test yet?

 

[bear74]

well Julia weighs 9lbs 4oz and Sabrina weighs 8lbs 6oz. Apparantly the new recomendation is to give Vitamin D to infants once a day. Not sure how I feel about that. I will do research and see what they are saying first.

 

[bethbuchall]

Sabrina weighs less than two of mine did at birth. I'm glad it was a good appointment.

Elin -- that sounds like good news. I'm so glad. Fingers crossed and prayers said!

Jennifer -- glad the girls are doing well.

We had power outages throughout the day. It seemed they'd get it fixed and within an hour or two the power was out again. Driving to work tonight I realized why. The trees are heavy with ice. Every tree looks like it is made of crystal. Quite beautiful, but very harmful to the trees. Many cut up and broken trees are lining the roads where crews have cut them up. White birches are literally bent so the tops are touching the ground. I wouldn't doubt that there may be more power outages if the wind picks up at all.

I came home tonight to power and internet access I also have an invitation for a second interview for the receptionist position from last week The interview is for Thursday morning.

we had wicked winds (and rain) yesterday and today...branches everywhere.

Good luck on the interview!!!

They have not done the follow-up swallow evaluation. If he is still at Kindred they are to take a look again on Thursday. If he has moved to HealthSouth they will have their own evaluation setup there. There has been very little change in the past 10 days or so in what I see for him. That is a little discouraging to me, but I have not let him see that. There are lots of ways to stimulate the gag reflex and the swallow reflex and they are working on that now. We do have to face the possibility that Bob will never eat or drink anything by mouth again, but it is one I am hoping will not come true!

 

[PNO4TE]

Marci - good to see you posting, my friend. Keep on swimming....

Deb - good luck with your follow-up interview

Good morning, DDA!

 

[Tammi67]

Janet - Is that a new ticker?! YAY!

Deb - good luck with the second interview.

Hi Marci!

 

[tinknme]

Yes it is Tammi I used the pin code I received to book a package at CSR. Garrett wants to go to US/IOA as well for the big coasters, so I am planning just a day there. I will use my gift certificate that I won to buy the tickets.

I do not want a repeat like last year & having to cancel, I am determined to go this time with the boys. I fear this may be the last chance I have to get Riley to go, he is only 14 but has changed so much

Deb good luck with the 2nd interview!

 

[mommykds]

Elin,
Continued good thoughts for you & Bob.

Deb,
Good luck with the 2nd interview!

Janet,
Yay for a new ticker!
