I am going to try to get this going again, if nothing else it can be cathartic.
As it is, there is too much that has happened since last updating this and I don't really wish to make up the time. So I shall continue from here. . .


A family Update

I work. I work at a local hospital about six miles from where I live. This has been fantastic. I don't have to slog my way through miles of insane traffic and the environment is fairly pleasant, as hospitals go. I have an opportunity to find employment in a posh environment far from where I live. I hear there are pluses to this opportunity. I will find out Monday. I don't know how I feel about it. I am applying to many NP programs in the hopes of getting my DNP someday. I hate applying. Sometimes I hate applying myself to the task of selling myself. But that is what it is and I need to fit some mold, some notion as to what it means to become a successful Nurse Practitioner. So I am applying.

Jessica works. She works in the home, but mostly out of it. She volunteers her time to two boys, and her husband. She exchanges her skills as an educator for Weston's enrollment in a pre-school program. She teaches one day a week. She keeps herself busy with Primary President stuff too. The primary program is coming up and that requires some work.

William works. ? Well he goes to school where he is enrolled in a dual language program learning Spanish and English. Supposedly by the third grade the students are "fluent" at grade level. He has a lot of work to do then. But he does like learning. He is involved in baseball and as I watch him I feel it is a strictly social thing for him. And then again, there are moments of brilliance. Today he looked good on the pitching mound.

Weston. Well Weston is also involved with pre-school activities and baseball. He loves being active. That's about it for him. So very active. He gets dragged along to a lot of activities and gets exposure to lots of opportunities. He loves baseball, and batting and throwing and punching and kicking and tackling, well it degrades quickly. He is a lot of fun.

But that is an over simplified look at the family today. Literally today. Some days are better or worse. But today has been good. It isn't over yet. I'm just getting back into this and hope to be more informative. If nothing else, I hope this will be a good outlet for me.
