Believe it or not, I wanted to be a doctor.  Either that or an airline stewardess.  I guess that shows that I have always had a love of medicine as well as an urge to travel. Lunch ~ Name a few favorite memories of your elementary school days.  (This is one of the very few positive winter stories I have) I used to love it when it would snow really hard and the plows would make mountains of snow on the playground blacktop.  I loved to climb to the top and play “King of ...

Tuesday when I walked outside I heard a rustling in the trees next to our house.  When I looked up I was surprised to see not one, but four  turkeys roosting in the trees! It was amazing!  These turkeys have been hanging around our neighborhood for quite some time, but I didn't realize that they roosted in the trees!  I didn't even know that they fly.  They are huge. I went to a dermatologist to have him look at a few spots on my face that I worried about.  The one I was most worried about turned out to not be anything to worry about, but the doc said that I had two pre-cancerous spots.  I decided to have them frozen, one on my eyebrow and one smack-dab in the middle of my cheek.  As he was spraying the one on my eyebrow I felt as though I was being stuck by a bee, about 10-15 times!  However I was brave and tolerated it well.  The one on my cheek was a different story!  I'm not sure why, but IT HURT!!!!  I almo...

2016 has slipped in and taken a firm hold seemingly effortlessly.  We all have returned back to school and work and the daily grind leaving the casual, fun days of the holidays only good memories.  I thought it would be interesting to list our schedules. Kim has returned to his crazy schedule of working graveyard Sunday - Wednesday 5 pm to 5 am and then Friday 5 am to 5pm.   Shandra is working her CNA job Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 6 am to 2 pm, going to school Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 am to 4:30 pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 pm to 9 pm and working at the salon on Fridays and Saturdays.  Jason's shifts switch every five weeks, he has been working the weekends, but just switched to 12 hour shifts on the weekdays.   Needless to say we help out a lot with Kalel and RaeLynn.   I work 5 days a week at Eagle Gate and will soon be doing two days a week at clinicals instead of at the campus.  I usually work 1-2 weekend shifts...

Christmas Eve brought our tradition of Christmas PJ;s.  Kim's ended up being extremely large for him, but he was a good sport and modeled them anyway!  Everyone else's were pretty plain and boring and fit well. Tasha and Zane picked out PJ's for Hector that were so funny and perfect for him, Olaf pants that said, "I like warm hugs!"  Hector seemed a little emotional when he told us that he had never received pajamas before.  Zane made sure that he understood the responsibility of wearing them Christmas morning!  Jason had to work so he didn't arrive until just in time to open PJ's.   I'm not sure why he looks so serious in this pic, he was smiling!  After Santa came -  Look at all the gifts! Christmas morning was a little different this year.  I worked the night before from 11 pm to 5 am Christmas morning.  Shandra worked from 6 am to 10 am and Jason had to work the entire day.  RaeLynn was with he...
