Realizing NOTHING can keep me from this blog!!
When I called the front desk to officially "log off" from this Internet racket, they were confused and after many minutes of being on hold the man said "Well, it looks like you got a free week because we never wrote you down." See--God love the south!
Also...we rented bikes today. Each bike had a child seat on the back (as Scarlet very uncharacteristically did not want a tandem--shocking). We all had a great time on the woodsy bike paths and then rode on the beach (hardened sand, mind you, very easy). It seemed like a beautiful fall day in the Midwest.
Worst Part of the Day-
This is not very vacation-y, but all week I have been hounded by my travel nurse company to do a contract (at home, no where fancy) and the hounding continues today. I made an off-handed comment to my travel nurse recruiter that I MAY start doing assignments once Liam was 12 months-old. Did she ever remember that comment?! I have turned down 4 assignments since Will-O's accident and now I am feeling obligated to do another. Obligated to keep my foot in the door with the whole travel nurse thing, to keep my ER skills up, obligated to pay my bills, blah blah blah.
Yesterday I threw out 3 very high maintenance conditions (knowing they would never be met, thereby getting me off the hook). I found out today that they are meeting all 3 conditions. At this point I really do have to take it (or I will appear emotionally unstable as it is a super deal). There is a nursing shortage--people are getting desperate!
It causes me anxiety and I'm a little freaked out to add another variable into our home life. It would throw off my currently fantastic work schedule, the family schedule, THE KIDS, my precious sleep--and just when my social life and workout world were picking up...just when things were getting calm.
Thanks to this free Internet I officially said "yes" this afternoon. Eeek. It's only 8 weeks.

But you'll be able to keep your other job, yes?
Yes keep other job and perhaps cut back a bit on it and also work this other job FULL TIME.
(Have a blast on your getaway!)
And the job is only 8 weeks (I'm probably being a bit of a baby...most women/moms work that much every darn day for years--it's just a lot to me (and my delicate system!)
