Unexpected Gift

This week I received two gifts, in the form of having two unexpected days off. I've been on call at the hospital extended care unit for over 13 years now, and can generally count on working any and every day that I want to but, for some unforseen reason, this week I just didn't get called for a couple of days. I feel so spoiled that I only worked two days this week. It's amazing how rejuvenated I feel. The thing is I should have been accomplishing all the little tasks that I always think "If I had some extra time off, I could get this and that done". I did catch up on some visiting and cleaned out Kenton's closet, but mostly I just enjoyed the little things like being able to take my boys to school myself in the morning. By Monday morning I should be good and ready to get back to the ol' grind...

Anniversary

Well, here I am. Making a comeback on the one year anniversary of my last blog entry. Maybe this could become an annual thing....Everyone could stay tuned once a year for Heather's annual blog. That would make it so much more special, the anticipation would drive people wild.

I suppose, though, the pressure of that would be even greater than just trying to come up with something interesting a couple of times a week.



I generally think of my "New Year" as being in September. For me, that's the time for new starts and a time for reflecting on the past. I missed blogging about some really great events this last year. Let me see...I've lost some weight, the boys have gotten bigger, Sonya and I went to see Jon Bon Jovi, I got a better time in the Sun Run, we took the boys to the Dominican on a family trip, Chris changed jobs, I took Biology so that I can apply to the LPN program, we went on a couple of great camping trips this summer and now suddenly another year is gone and a new one is in the waiting. This year promises to bring a whole new series of experiences to blog about. I hope I can meet the challenge....if not, I guess I'll see you next year.........
