Back to reality..

Back to reality in the morning. To work, to washing asses and being phlegmed on. Back to earning the money to pay the bills to feed the family. Back to reality where I'm not the special one who can sleep in until any hour of the day I so chose. I will miss that, almost as much as I'll miss the not getting peed, pooed or phlegmed on. I won't be the one that gets to stay up really late finishing the last few pages of the book I'm currently reading. I could but getting up the next morning is not pretty for me. I've tried to before. I am not a morning person as it is.

I am not looking forward to the morning for so many reason. But there are some things I am looking forward to in the morning. I will get to see my comrades in arms, those that share with me the adventures in bodily function land. There are the residents I miss, some who won't remember me others that will. But I love them all the same. They are my loved ones, my extended family, and that is why I continue working this job. Not every one is cut out for this line of work, and those of us that are, do need our vacations, to recharge and go in with a fresh outlook. This I currently have. I have that recharge that I needed.

So tomorrow, maybe I'll have a great day, or maybe not. But either way, I'm ready for it. Why oh why can't I be rich instead of pretty! (Yes that's sarcasm.)

I honestly don't know how you do it. I could NEVER, ever do your work.

Anyway, good luck tomorrow. Hope it's not too hard to go back.

You are indeed one of a special few. Unless someone has been there, it's hard to understand. I certainly could not function without the Em's of the world.

Why I don't want OnStar..

Personally, I don't want On Star installed in my vehicle. Everyone enjoys new technology but sometimes I feel it's a little too intrusive. Intrusive you ask? Well I watch the commercials and in them it says," Mrs. Jones, I notice you've been in an accident. I've alerted police and they're on their way." Or you have, "Mr. Smith, I notice your air bag has been deployed, do you require further assistance?" Why wouldn't you want that in your vehicle, especially seeing how quickly they respond after an accident, they'd get you help right away. Yes, I see that. I see that they would get me help right away. But what about a good hit and run, smash and dash. You wouldn't be able to do that because On Star would ruin your alibi. You can't say well I wasn't in an accident and On Star would say, yes you have been our sensors show it. Or what if they're listening in on your conversation while you're talking? Think of some of thing...

Get out of your own head.....

I had all kinds of thoughts and plans for my future. Dreams of the life I'd lead and the places I'd travel. But dreams are simply mist, blown away by the winds of reality, and as a well-known movie of our  younger years taught us, 'Reality Bites'. Reality is a bitter bitch.

The First Hearing of the Heartbeat

HJ laying on the table with her digital recorder while we listen to the sound of the baby's heartbeat. AMAZING! That's all I can say. This was taken with my cell phone which I then couldn't get the video on to my computer. So I asked a friend how she got pictures moved around and she ended up emailing it to me so I could put it on here to share.
