Just another Monday

Still Nurses' Week..YES! The psychology staff are celebrating on Florence Nightingale's birthday at the Hotel, but they have to send an e-mail every day so people don't forget.

I celebrated today by having lots of technical difficulties in my clinic. Now I have to find a creative way to get a gift basket of coffee, Mountain Dew, chocolate and other terribly fattening things to my favorite support technicians. Yes, it's been that kind of week and this is only Monday. We have a "special notes" section of our intranet, so I recognized two of the folks today. I had to...those two saved my derriere so much already.

Bubba got out of school early today and is counting the days when school ends here in RehabLand. Since his school had no snow days (we had a school boss from Minnesota who wasn't scared one icy day) this year, they'll actually finish on the day they said. Bubba, however, may notice those last days are different. For the first time ever, he has final exams. Should get him ready for high school!

Now Bubba is at his friend Jorge's house, helping him get some of the music homework done before the big party this week at the last band class. If Jorge gets the magic number, he'll be in. Bubba, his partner in crime, wants to provide moral support so it happens.

Stay tuned...one more day of Nurses' Week left. Enjoy every moment. You deserve it!

Children are so much fun..

When they are asleep and not getting into trouble.

Bubba is a character. He decided he had "sore teeth" and when I looked in his mouth I saw he had horrible stains that looked as if his teeth were decaying. Photos of Mountain Dew mouth nightmares were going through my head.

Alas, his problem wasn't related to soda, but Bubba has learned that he needs to take better care of his teeth.

We got some Oragel and Bubba got some one-on-one instruction on how to properly brush his teeth with a new soft toothbrush...yet again.

More later...
