warmth

1. The downtown library
I was already obsessed with the library and every time I go I fall a bit more in love.  This place has made the list and it hopefully in years to come we will continue to make frequent visits.  On Thursday I had another day off so I could spend the day with the boys with out Jack.  Again, it was great to be able to sit down and just focus on 8 year old activities. 



2. Rock climbing at the gym
We do not take advantage of all the amenities at Lifetime.  The boys have been asking for MONTHS to go rock climbing at the gym.  Yesterday we finally made it happen.  It was super simple and Jack was able to just sit and watch while the three of us climbed.  What a great perk!



3. Dinner at my parents
We usually  see my parents at least once a week. This little time is always helpful with a break in meal planning, no dishes for the night, a lot less mess to clean up but the best part is spending time with family.   Grateful for these dinners.

4. Learning
I am learning a TON at work.  I had no idea what this job involved when I started 7 months ago and on a daily basis I am still trying to figure out the details.  This week I think in fact, one of the NPs that I needed to put on a performance improvement plan contacted a lawyer and stated that I breached her contract.  New. Learning.  --and all of this happened via EMAIL while I was out of the office.

It's been a rough week with work.  I am still trying to figure out my organization and how to prioritize all of my immediate tasks - like communication with the lawyer AND completing the SBAR for a replacement position.  And those two tasks are only with my HF team.

I am grateful for a job that I am frequently challenged.  Though this week it was a bit much I still learned a ton and I am sure next week with not be any different.

5. Shelter
It is freezing cold outside.  Like -8 below before the windchill.  It's a bit miserable outside.  It just needs to be said that I am grateful for a warm home, with working heat and no worry about how to pay the bill.  I am grateful that my husband makes us warm fires and that we can go to bed knowing that all of our children are warm.
