Adventures at my parents house!

This last week Dave and I are at my parents house while they are with my little sister in St. George for her "summer games" state soccer tournament. (Which by the way, they are bringing home the gold tomorrow! whoot whoot!) I has been quite the adventure! Here are some of the big points we've had; getting use to living with my sisters insane dog, daisy. Sleeping in a bed thats WAY to comfortable for our own good and older than both of our ages combined, which is gross if you think about all those nasty skin cells, im trying not to. Dave getting home about a half an hour earlier than normal. People I know coming to the door and having a wonderful conversation with them. Making meals, hoping they have the ingredients I need. Getting a medi pedi with a dear friend thats about to have her baby, yay! And most recently (about 10 minutes ago) figuring out my dumb dog ate 3 of my owl cupcakes!!! (guess they are good, considering I have not ate one yet.) Coming with that, watching her every move to make sure she doesnt get sick, and if she does preparing myself of what to do. :( The bet part of this week is that I didnt have to work and I cant wait till sunday, because were going back to the singles ward to see whats changed and then going back home!!!

Work and Such

My new work schedule is interesting. Instead of working 3-11pm, I now work 7am-3pm on various days, I love being done by 3 so I can have a "day" after work, but then im so tired I can hardly tell which end is up. Another nice thing about my new work schedule is I get to see Dave a bit more, and I get to make dinner at 5 instead of midnight, I also have a whole week off every other week, but I still work 3 days a week... complicated, but its pretty nice. Working as a CNA you cannot work more than that, you will kill yourself. I about have a time or two, or kidding but not kidding ask my husband to bring me home a case of beer. Of course I have not done anything of the sort, even though it would be nice... like the coffee at work, at times I am so tempted to drink some!
I guess what Im trying to say is Im looking for a new job, because most of the time you are ignored by pretty much everyone in the hospital, no matter how hard you work your butt off, you wont be aknowledged for the service you give. Or hell you have to take and get, and it just goes on and on. More days than not I have come home bawling my eyes out because of what I have to deal with.
On the other hand, Your job can be rewarding at times, when your patient is finally put out of there pain, or they get better and go home, or just those patients that are special spirits that you talk to the extra minute you have and they tell you a really cool life story that makes you want to be a better person.
That is just the begining without going into detail, really, I am not kidding. Well, you now have a tiny look at what I go through at my job as a CNA. Sorry I really had to vent. Yes, I do feel a little bit better. :)
