A trip to the Pediatrician

I took the boys to see their doctor today. He was in unusual spirits. The boys are okay just both had rashes on their faces that were beginning to concern me. Jonathan's entire mouth and chin area were chapped and Tayler has had this ongoing rash around his nose. The doc was awesome and prescribed some steroid cream for both of them and told them to keep their paws off their faces. He then gave me a ton of advice regarding where I should start off in Nursing. His wife has been a nurse for over 20 years and he knew a thing or two about what I should do to make myself desirable to employers. Much food for thought. Then at the pharmacy I ran into a CNA that I worked with in my first rotation at a hospital here in town. She recommends the same as him. "Start off in Med-Surg then specialize after about a year of that." Sounds like good solid advice but where? I would still really like to go to OB with my friend Chrysie but we shall see. On a cool note...Patrick and I are meeting with a mortgage broker to get ourselves and our finances ready to save a down payment and look for a home. After I get a job of course :) Okay back to my house...It needs a good cleaning today. This is what a weekend full of kids and their friends does to a house.

Okay, this is more heat and humidity than I like to have to deal with. Yesterday our thermometer read 115 at 4:00 in the afternoon and 113 today. Nothing like a little heat to make for a cranky afternoon. Patrick and I made the best of it by cleaning out a large closet we have and I am thankful for the organization that came out of it. Kevin has been taking the boys every evening to his Mom's so they can swim with him and I am glad to have the break. Jonathan is doing well and has been easily turned around when he stars to go a little sideways. I am glad that it seems what the counselor is having us do for him is working. I got a compliment today from someone that has known us since Tayler was a baby. He said that he sure can see a lot of improvement in the boys and he knows we have been working hard. I just laughed and thanked him. I really appreciate the compliment but I know we still have so much more work to do. My main goal is to raise men of integrity that will treat their wives the way that they should and respect those around them. Still a little unsure of how to do that but I am learning as we go. I see small glimpses of hope in my boys and those make the hard days worth it. Speak of the devil! They are home gotta go!
