I read on a friends blog the other day that she was frustrated that no one was blogging anymore. I think that it is dying a bit. I know that I have not been blogging nearly the way I was. I love to sit and read others blogs. I have some family that I feel I know better now that I ever have. This is due to blogging. I don't have any fun pictures right now, but here is an update on us.
I am currently trying to decide between two job offers. I am currently working at Sunshine Terrace as the director of nursing for home care. I can say that this has been the most difficult job that I have ever had. It is different than anything I have ever done. I am the boss, in the office. I miss working with patients. BUT it pays very well, I don't have to work holidays or weekends and they appreciate all the hard work I have done. I have been offered a position in the ER and Cache Valley Specialty Hospital where I used to work several years ago. I loved working there and this job sounds like I would love it. I would work with patients again and when I go home, the work won't follow me. BUT I will take a significant pay cut and have to work weekends and holidays again. Let me just say that I have gone back and forth over this to NO END. Brent can barley stand to talk to me anymore because I am a broken record. This is good and that is bad.... over and over. I don't know if I am confusing myself more or helping anymore. I do tend to obsess over things like this. This is not new. I will let you all know what the outcome is. But.... If anyone has a thought or two they would like to share... PLEASE DO!!
Tanner has started playing Soccer and Lacrosse. We are back into the busy swing of things with something going on every night. He is growing so much. He thinks he is 15 or something now. He acts like a teenager... I thought we had a least another year for that.
Landon and Meg are also starting Soccer. Brent is coaching Landon's team and I am coaching Megan's. YES, We are crazy! We have had just two practices with our teams. It is a lot of fun to watch my little kids play around. If we can get them to spread out we will be good. I love to watch Brent with the kids. It's amazing how well he does with them. I think that he really loves to do this.
To all those other bloggers! I love reading your blogs. I will try to comment more. Please keep blogging! It makes me happy and is the best way I have ever found to know people and enjoy their families.

Glad you posted.
I'm only offering my thoughts because you said I could. Personally, I always HATED working weekends and holidays, I longed to be able to work weekdays only and be home in time for dinner. I hated missing out on the weekend family acitivities and the holiday stuff. These are a couple of reasons I will probably never re-enter the nursing profession. And maybe I didn't really realize the hours I might be expected to work when I started nursing school... Ultimately, you have to do what's best for your family (I know you know this) and whether that means time with them on weekends and holidays or more money in the bank, only you can decide. Good luck. I don't envy the choice you have to make. Keep us posted.
Stacey-
It sounds like life is crazy for you and you have a big decision to make about the job issue. I really think you should come back to the hospital:) I would love to work with you again, and it is a very secure job. Plus it is a very exciting time to start. Good luck with your decision. Call me sometime.
