The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 3

I have some good news to share! Except it's kind of scary, as well

I got a phone call today to schedule an interview at Children's hospital! It's set for April 4th, which is awesome. The only thing is, it sounds like it's going to be exhausting!

At 11:00, I meet with the nurse recruiter for 30 minutes. From 11:30-12:30 I interview with the clinical manager and a staff nurse of the unit where I am applying (at the same time). From 12:30-1:30, I interview with a nurse educator and some general HR person at the same time. And then from 1:30-2:30 I interview with some upper level brass type person.

I don't think I've been on an interview that lasted ONE hour, let alone over THREE! Is this what the real world is normally like?! If so, then I don't think I like it. If not, then it's no wonder there's a nursing shortage!

THREE HOURS!!! Geesh....I haven't had that many interviews(most of my jobs fall in my lap) but I have heard of people having 3+ interviews just not on the same day!!

Sorry I was only kidding just the smile didn't work!!!

No! No worries.... I was just saying, you're right! It's really only 2 days a week though, so mostly I was taking the opportunity to whine about having to work nights

Glad it ended well!! Did you tell him thanks for giving me a heart attack?

No but the first thing he said when he was out the water is 'my parents are going to kill me' does he know us well or what

He is actually a good child and having a boat at the lake we have discussed how dangerous the water is so many times but then again boys will be boys!!!

No! No worries.... I was just saying, you're right! It's really only 2 days a week though, so mostly I was taking the opportunity to whine about having to work nights

Well just think when you are home we will all be heading out TO work - yuck!!!

I will not say who got kicked off but I was REALLY sad - not that I thought that person would go all the way but I think there were worse singers!!

We were surprised too. Definitely not the best singer but better than others that stayed.

Did anyone watch Unanimous?

that is a very interesting concept!!!

Hello all! Thanks for all the Prayers and PD . My Mom is on the mend and all is back to "normal" again!
Hope I can get caught up and back to posting again. I missed you all!

Tom,
Good to see you!!!

So cute...


DH came home tonight from his business trip and he and Julia were hugging goodnight - she told him

Daddy you were gone a long time and I need to hug on you for a bit - she then proceeded to hug him as tight as she could for about 5 minutes -and said I will see you tomorrow night -

then she said - "wait - I need to kiss on you now" and counted out 10 kisses

then she asked if she could wake up early to play with him in the morning - he said he had to leave too early

so then she just kept hugging on him and he said he would play with her all day Saturday -

then he said he was going to bed (after the business trip he went early) and she was very sad - so then I said why don't you go snuggle in bed with Daddy - you would have thought I suggested they go to WDW!!!

DH is a keeper!!! and Julia is definately a Daddy's girl!!!

I need some serious prayers and PD. My mom just called and my SIL's father committed suicide tonight. I am devestated. I had just hung up the phone with my brother when he found out. Please pray for Keyla and Ben. I will be going to Mississippi for the funeral whenever it is (maybe on Thursday). This is just so horrible. She is only 28 years old.

Denise,

itdjbw I had a scare today too. My boys (2 & 3) were at my mom's house. She had to "go". She left them at the front door watching some men working in the road out front (they love "Bob Builder" type stuff). So she comes out of the bathroom not 2 minutes later and the front door is WIDE open and the boys are nowhere to be seen. She rushes to the front door and there they are running up and down outside on the sidewalk unsupervised!!!

She said she put them both in time out and they knew they had been bad because they were either sniffing or crying from her scolding them. My DS3 had to be the culprit on that one; DS2 can't figure out how to open an interior door, much less one with a lock on it.

I'm always scared they are going to wake up in the middle of the night and sneak downstairs and out the door.

This is not my style, but you all should know why I'm not on for the rest of the week. Family friends (daughter is in Matt's class) Rusty died last night. He was working on the treadmill and had a massive heart attack. 47. In their home. Leaves a wife and three small children - all home, all witnessed their father's death. Pray for the survivors. They need it.

So sorry to hear this. Prayers are on their way!

Tammi -

I am not a cheater either!!!! I love the surprise of it!!! I know it is a surprise no matter when you find out but I love the suspense all the way through the pregnancy!!!

Besides - I know a few people whose little boys hated their pink nursery!!!

Our daughter's nursery was full of trains and fire engines and teddy bears. I only changed it to pink and yellow this year!

So this evening DS came to ask me if he could go to our neighbor and I said okay, then DD came to ask and she went, she came home saying they were not there and where was Adam.
He went to friends down in the cul-de-sac and about 1/2 hour later I sent her to go get him and she went out the door and a couple of minutes later came in saying he had fallen in the river!!
I ran out the garage and there was DH with the friends dad from down the road, they were playing by the river - the Chatahoochee is far down from there house and Adam slipped and fell in. Luckily he was not hurt and they managed to get him out he was just soaked from head to toe and freezing!!
He is so lucky there was a parent there as he knows not to go to the river without a parent or I would kill him!!!!

Wow! My heart skipped a beat for a second there! Glad all turned out o.k.!
