Bittersweet

I have to say that I do love going to my job...I love that I get along with all of my coworkers. I've made many friends and I have a good time at work...I laugh and love the social part of it. So, it was hard to make the decision to apply for another position in the hospital. It was something I've thought of doing for a while. After seeing a position for ER patient registrar posted I decided to go for it. Although I will miss my friends and I will even miss all the things I do in the kitchen...for I am truly a jack of all trades there....catering, trayline, cook, grill, cafe worker, clerk, and several others.....I love knowing so much of the ins and outs and goings on down there. (The kitchen is in the basement). But, this is an opportunity to be home more with my kids...I'll work four nights a week and be home during the days with my kids. I can workout again...as I am just a morning "worker outer". So, my new journey will start sometime in the next few weeks....I'm nervous and excited and sad and happy all at the same time.

Do you speak Spanish?

I told Joe a while back that in Europe they give each other kisses on each cheek, instead of right on the lips (Joe loves kisses...a little too much sometimes). Now, he loves to give me European kisses...one on each cheek and sometimes one on the nose and one on the chin too. Yesterday Hannah was sitting on my lap and she kissed me on each cheek and then announced "I just gave you a Spanish kiss!"

yeah...

My daughter and I speak such extremely different emotional languages....I always wish I spoke hers.....and sometimes wish she spoke mine. *sigh*

Influence....

Today Hannah is sick. Aaron went to work late and I got off early. He brought her to the hospital for me to take her home....we walked to the gift shop to get a treat. The hospital lobby is tiled with big square tiles....Hannah told me in her very cute voice "Don't step on the butt cracks"

I wonder where she ever heard the term "butt crack"......

Midnight Masquerade

That's the prom theme this year. Zack went with Cassie again this year and they both looked so awesome! A big group of kids got together for pictures and to have dinner....thanks to Karen (Brittney's mom) for providing such a lovely home and dinner for the kids! I'm sure they're having a grand time!~ Here are many pictures not all in the proper order but you get the gist....
