Partners

 1. 4 days of work - OVER

My set schedule for work is 4 days on, 10 days off.  I love it.  This week I switched a coworker which took my fourth day and moved it to Friday.  I ended up picking up Tuesday on a different unit.  HOLY. HELL.  It was an insane day. I left an absolute mess for the night shift nurse.  I felt so bad.  I know it's a 24-hour hospital....but still... it was a lot.  I was so grateful to walk out of the door (even 30 minutes late).  I am also grateful I work oncology and usually my days are fabulous.

2. Partnership

I am so grateful for Mike and our partnership.  The schedules we carry are never regular and constantly changing.  The boys are going a million different ways and we have to constantly check in to divide and conquer.  It's tough.  It's not rare to be busy in this season of our life, but it's still tough.  Today I am signing the boys up for driver's ed and then will have additional tasks on the plate.

3. Sara

About a month ago I had one of the absolute most memorable experiences of my life.  I was allowed to be in the delivery of Cassidy.  I was the only family allowed in the room.  It was unbelievable.  I saw Sara be an absolute badass.  I am so grateful and honored for this gift.  I wish I could shout it from the rooftops.  Since that day I have been able to hang out with these two multiple times.  It has been such a soul lifting experience.  

4. Friendship

All of the boys have great friendships right now and it has been so much fun getting to know their friends.  This evening the twins are having friends over to celebrate Halloween and then Mike and I are taking Jack to the Redman's.  I wish I could be at both places at once. 

5. Shelby

On the early morning of May 17, 2014, I called Shelby to ask for help.  She was the person who I knew would pick up the phone, immediately get out of bed, and drive over to help.  She went straight to Erin's house to watch the littles so my dad could be at the hospital with the rest of our family.  That is who she is.  That is the type of friend.  The type of person.  

In the picture below, she is at homecoming pictures with me.  

She is in my life for the highs and the lowest of lows.  So grateful for her and our friendship.
