hmm.. It's 3:45am on a Sat. morning- WHAT AM I DOING UP?

Yes, you read that right. I have no clue why I am awake- I love Saturdays cuz I can sleep in! Guess not this week... go figure!

Took Nathan to meet his surgeon. Nice guy- very straightforward and told us that he would get more benefit from the adenoids being removed than the actual tonsils. He even asked "How long has the Darth Vader breathing been going on?" "Since he was born!" said Bud. So- this Tuesday our little guy is going in. Poor thing.

Darren finally has his meds in check. No "outbursts" or anything for about 3 weeks. It is so nice to come home to his smiling face and not have him complain or yell about what time I got home from work- and demand I do all this stuff for him before I can go to bed. Which is absolutely crazy- and I would dread to come home. Now when I work late- I can't wait to get home! He is even letting me snuggle with him under the covers again! YAY!!! MY BUD IS BACK!!!!

Still don't know what is going to happen at my work at KSD. The "chick" I am filling in for- wants to get fired so she can get unemployment. They are trying to talk her out of that- since she has been there for so long- blah blah blah.... anyway- so I am continuing to be in LIMBO. But I was assured it was close to getting resolved.

My other job at Sorenson- is going a bit better. I will graduate from VI training at the end of this month- and this week Wed- the whole computer system in my center was down- for the whole night. Thursday when I went back- it had just started working again a few hours before I got there! Wed night a group of us got together and worked on signs and idioms and it was a pleasant break. Thursday- had my NIC study group- short meeting- but I was able to get some papers and life sorted out- before I started my shift.
I was with a mentor at first and then they put me in my own station alone for awhile- with a mentor right across the hall. It was cool! I didn't have any problems at all. Like I said before I am really starting to enjoy it.
This coming week- I am going to start being a freelance interpreter for KSD. I am going on a field trip with the dorm-and so I can get more experience before I take my exam.

I had my follow-up appointment with my gyno doc and she said I was fine- after the surgery. She didn't need to see me again- unless I had major issues again. Woo Hoo!!! One less doc to see! I still have to see my endocrinologist this coming Friday. Gonna get in trouble for that one. OH- got my insurance record for my surgery- actual cost of my surgery was near 15,000 dollars!! I think it was definitely worth it though. I think it said our responsibility was close to 300 dollars. Which isn't bad at all!

This weekend we are playing it cool- probably will go bowling since we haven't been in awhile and since next week Nathan and Bud will be held up in the house- resting. Next weekend Paula and I are going to see Lion King! I can't wait!!! I haven't had a girls night out since .... forever ago! We are going to a matinee- so really it is a girls afternoon out. We may end up at Starbucks and hang out there until hubby's put the kids to bed.

Oh- Darren's parents are off RVing for the rest of the month. We won't see them until Thanksgiving. They seem to be having a great time- we read their blog to keep up.

um... can't think of anything else to write-

till next time!!!
