Worked Vent until midnight Friday,~only 5 hrs~ and they truly didn't need me for the 12 hour :( Maria and I were actually hoping the scheduled per-diem nurse coming in would decide against coming in, lol. Now I just found out they don't need me @ the hospital for tonight's scheduled 12 hour shift
And guess what? If the census is down tonight, it will surely be down Sunday night, and that means I lose another shift! THEN I was told I could work 11-7 on LG tonight, & at the last minute the nurse came in so I wasn't needed. So I'm just making myself available for tomorrow night 11-7 on "Sienna's floor". Monday the kids have off school so that will help.BUT NOW THE WASHING MACHINE IS BROKEN!!!!!!Argghh.
long run tonight.

Terrible night last night for Chris Sr. Another round of kidney stone pain led him to the ER last night. He has an appt. with his MD tomorrow but in the meantime he thinks the stone may have moved a bit. He's on pain meds for a couple days, so hopefully he can pass the stupid stone pain-free.Duration: 0:38 (hrs:mins)Distance: 3.5 milesPace: 10:48Calories: 351Description: a slow recovery run, 3.5 miler before swim lessons.Duration: 0:40 (hrs:mins)Distance: 0.9 milesPace: 47:06Calories: 340Description: 1500 yards @ ymca- finally didn't have to circle swim 250 each of pull, fins, breast, and the rest free.Natalie had a great day today~ she made first chair in 2nd row ("fifth chair") clarinet. she also rocked tonight with her Butterfly stroke- her instructor even used her as an example.CJ on the other hand is not happy about the swimming. He says he has to work too hard and "can't breathe". He started Trumpet and looks so cute holding it :) They aren't actually "playing" the instruments yet, since the 4th graders are mostly brand new to their chosen instruments. He is doing very well in school- the last 2 Friday folder assessment sheets were wonderful & he's been working hard.

Natalie and CJ ran the 1 mile race first. More photos to follow~ Chris has the other ones! CJ did very well- reallly stayed up in front. HOWEVER poor Natalie, who has run the race before, tripped and FELL, scraping both knees and her wrist :(( Needless to say, it slowed her down big time. So I spent some time cleaning her wounds and Chris took her and CJ to the car for the first aid kit.
I was almost late for the half-mary line up but made it just in time. I ran slow but steady, with a few short walk breaks and lots of water/gel/gatorade stops. Did not experience nausea or dry-heaves at the end of the race this time :)
All of us are ready to eat and nap. I feel so bad that Natalie, looking forward to this race, had such a bad time :( Plus, she wasn't feeling well these past few days either.
1 mile results!Christopher Houle, Jr (Poughkeepsie, 9) 9:21;106-Natalie Houle (Poughkeepsie, 11) 10:56;Slide show coming soon!

Wow- the half marathon is tomorrow morning! Worked my usual 12.75 hours last night on my floor. Had a very busy, productive shift. Had my youngest patient ever, too. D/c'd 2 IV's. Had to reorient a confused pt, sitting down with him every once in a while when he simply did not know where he was, or why he was there. Connected with another pt just a bit older than me, wanting to just chat with her about swimming, etc but had to get on with the med pass. All in all the shift flew pretty much, esp. with the huge paperwork piles. Feeling a lot more confident. Slept a good amount today, so hopefully waking up early for the race tomorrow won't be such a drag :)
CJ is so psyched about putting together his new Bionicle figures- he is incredible at putting things together! Just like Dad :)
