well, we are driving to detroit tomorrow to say our goodbyes to John's mom. She is on hospice now and they don't think she will make it passed the weekend. We're leaving at 6 am. We're not staying at Brian and Patty's which is good. that way i will be out of the way when the stuff is divided up. we are staying at john's friends house close by the funeral home. they have an in ground pool and so the kids will have something to do.
on a high note, i got a B on my soc quiz and an A on my paper i just wrote and i took my midterm today and think i did pretty good. i knew almost all of the answers. i feel like i am on overload with 50 hours of work a week, 4 kids to juggle-trying to make them all happy by being at their events and then getting in hours of reading for school. when i put the kids to bed i stay up and read until 1 or 2 in the morning and then i get up at 7 to get to work by 8. its getting grueling. i hope i can keep up the pace. so far though i have been getting good grades.
Work gave me a promotion. i now am a manager over the CNA's that work for us. i go to clients homes and ask them how the caregiver has been doing and make sure all is well. so i spend most of my time in the car driving from home to home or assisted living to assisted living. it's kinda fun but i have alot of paper work and there's more stress involved then my last job which was filing and drinking coffee with my co-workers.
not much else. just getting ready for cooperstown in 2 weeks and our trip to NYC. i hope its fun and not all fighting between the kids.
hope you all had a nice 4th. i had to work at the hospital that weekend. on the 3rd there were a few people close to death and if the census went below 10 (it was at 10)i was going to be called off on the 4th. i kept whispering in their ear "go to the light.....go to the light". well, one lady died and when the nurse told us i blurted out, does that mean i'm off tomorrow? probably should have waited at least 30 minutes before i asked. anyway, i was called off and right in the middle of the parade on the 4th the phone rang and it was work and they called me back in......3 more admissions. so i watched the fireworks through the hospital window.
gotta get to bed....long drive ahead.
love,
me

Tell John I am praying for his family. Brings back memories of us waiting and waiting for dad's death.. that can be a long process...
My 4th was kinda crappy also.. Dan worked and everyone had a plan except Thomas who didn't want to be seen with me....
So sorry to hear about John's mom. Our family will be praying that she will go peacefully.
I didn't know you were working 50 hours a week! Is it because of the promotion?
Sorry to hear about your mother-in-law. I hope that she is aware that you all are with her.
