To work full time or not

A position has opened up on surgery as full time. A few people suggested that I should apply for it. Am really debating this. On one hand, I'd make a bit more money, get stat days, be out of the float pool, but on the other hand, I really like working only a .7. I like having my days off, like that my rotation is the same as Dan's. I can get by on my paychecks that I get now. So have a lot to think about, but not much time to as they will be posting that job right away.

May 1st

is going to be a very special day. Not going to say more for now, but am very, very excited about that day.

Brady is getting tubes in his ears

Had the app't with Brady's pediatrician. He's concerned about his seizures. Two points, one being he's had two seizures in less than 24 hours and that he's had a seizure without having a cold first. Said he now could have seizures past the age of 6. He also asked if I wanted him put on an epileptic drug, which after asking about the side affects, said uh nope. Why would I want to put my almost 3 year old on a mood alterning drug that causes motor delays? I'll take the seizures. The doc said he doesn't like recommending the drug but thought he should ask. He's recommending Brady to a pedi surgeon who'll put tubes in his ears. He said he won't get any more ear infections, which in turn will also prevent the seizures. Am very happy something is finally getting down. Because of all Brady's ear infections, his hearing isn't the greatest, which in turn, his speech is below average. He'll also be seeing a speech therapist. Though on a good note, the pediatrician says my son is above normal intellectually. Yep, pretty proud mama walked out of that doctor's office.

Bad Hair Choice

My hair is starting to get pretty long. I got it trimmed a few days ago and it's cut like Reese Witherspoon's new style. Am very happy with the cut. BUT, I did something really dumb and on a whim. It was the Gemini in me. Decided while I was in the city for Brady's pediatrician app't. that I would dye my hair myself and go blonde, blonde. Yeah. Bad move. Am not happy with it all. To me it looks almost like a light strawberry blonde and makes me look washed out.
No, am not posting a pic. Will be dying it again next weekend. Found a couple of pics of me from 6 years ago when I was a redhead. Showed a few of my friends at work and they all really like me as a redhead. Showed Dan too and he loved it. Gonna give it a try. Felt really good as a redhead. Maybe post a pic then...
