Good weekend

Yesterday started off cloudy, but by mid afternoon the sun came out. I took the boys fishing while Dan was at work. Only Dylan caught one. Had fun anyways. Brady loved it.

Today was sunny and spent the afternoon tyding up the yard and cleaning the van. Brady had a fever all day and had to give him meds every few hours. Took him to OPD tonight and of course, he didn't have a fever then and the doctor whom I don't like, looked at him. Said he didn't have an ear infection, yet Brady says his ears hurt and won't let me touch them. Hmmm usually nevers tells me that. Anyways, he gave me a prescription just in case. Tried to "inform" me about feberal seizures and tell me that kids usually don't show any signs before having them. To which I replied, well since my son has had six in the last eight months he has always showed the same signs and tonight is the beginning.

Anyways, Brady is back home and in bed. I've given him more Motrim and hopefully he'll fall asleep soon. Will fill the prescription tomorrow and have him take it.

Dan starts his first 3 weeks of holidays tomorrow. I only work Wednesday and Thursday of this week. So not too bad.

We're Living Together

Brady and I have moved in with Dan and his three sons. We've been here about two weeks now and the rest of the heavy furniture was moved yesterday. Am so happy. Brady is so happy. Dan's son's, who are 15, 13 and 11 love and are great with Braydon. He loves them too. Idolizes the oldest, has tons of fun with the younger two.

Which means, I am now the only girl in a house of boys. I'm also the step mom to these 3. I love the boys with all my heart. They treat me well and like me too. We're all getting along extremely well. Of course, it's only the beginning and am sure we'll have a couple of run ins. So far, so good, though. They're all into hockey, love fishing and camping. Brady has gotton into it too along with them. It can be loud, have to get used to all the milk that we go through a day, am constantly busy and constantly cleaning, but I'm in heaven. Hardly have any time for the computer or myself. Now, I know what it's like having a large family, which I've always wanted. If I go to hide in mine and Dan's room to take a breather, one will be sure to soon follow to see what I'm doing and then the rest will come in too. My son has brothers now, has a Dad again. He sees how happy his mommy is and how good Dan treats her.

Dan and I are totally in love. We've fit into living together easily and are not just having fun, but are creating a warm and happy environment to raise our family. We live half a block from the hospital so we can walk to work. The house is great, the yard is beautiful. Tucker and Dan's dog get along great and Max the cat is in his glory. Tucker has really taken to our 11 year old.

I finally have the large family I've always wanted, finally have the man of my dreams, Brady finally has siblings and a great role model for a father in Dan. I couldn't be more happy.

Here is a pic of Dan and I taken a couple of weeks ago and one of just him, laughing.

Went Red

K, here's a pic of the new hair color. Have had a lot of compliments on it so far. Course, Dan is all over it lol I like it, better than the blonde I had dyed it just before. Will take a better pic when it's curled etc., this pic is right before I went to work.

All about work

So I ended up applying for the full time position on Surgery/Maternity. It's between myself and another girl who is a .4. She has senority though. If the manager follows cupe laws, then she'll get the position over me. I'm told this .4 has a bad track record and always calls in sick, takes stress leave, etc and has also been flagged in the ER for pain meds. If she does end up gettting it, then I'm applying for her .4 on surgery and will pick up to match it. Hopefully will know soon.

The other night, had to work in the personal care home connected to the hospital. One of the residents is a hitter and I've always lucked out in the past. Not that night. Got punched twice in the arm. My partner, who was a man, had to strong arm the resident down. Pretty scarey. Have a bruise on my arm, but am ok otherwise. The joys of working with violent alzheimers residents.

Same night, one of my coworkers told me my tire was going flat on my van. Dan ended up changing it for me during supper break. Got the tire patched and is good as new now.
