*If you look from the left I am the first white shirt with dark hair. Well not that anyone asked, but I felt like blogging. Couldn't think of what to blog about so I thought I would tell everyone about what I do aside from being a mom and wife.
Every other weekend on Friday at 6:30 pm I say good bye to my family. They have learned that mentally and sometimes physically I will not be fully available to them in the next 60 hours.
Where do I go:
I work at Portneuf Medical Center in the Emergency room. But not "in" the emergency room. I am actually in this little place they call "the hole", but it is really an office, with no window and all white walls. This is know as the Communications Center. There is a lot of stuff to play with in Com Center, but it is all to be taken seriously.
What do I do:
Why did I write that I am gone for 60 hrs earlier:
I am not really gone gone for 60 hrs, but I work 3 12 hour graveyards in a row. My shift is from 6:45 pm til 7 am. Yep all night. Then I come home and sleep til the home life awakens. I try to stay asleep as long as I can but that is not easy with a husband, a 2 year old and a 6 month old. And for some reason after only have 4 hours of sleep I wake up and feel so rested and wanting to spend time with my family so every saturday like a dummy I get up hoping that I will get another nap before my shift. I do sometimes, but not always. I don't think I realize my lack of sleep during the weekend, but during the next week it really hits me (just ask my husband).
This job has been really good and is a really good stepping stone into my future of nursing. Every time I come here it reminds me of my goals and makes me want to work hard to get there. I plan on applying to the nursing program at College of Southern Idaho this spring and cannot wait to get done.
So anyhow that is it for now. Sorry if you read this and you were bored. I was bored to and that is why I wrote it.

That shift sounds intense! I don't think I could function like that! You are superwoman! :)
nice post for all the "outsiders" :-)
you are the mom bomb!
Ditto to evrything stated. I don't know how you do it. I would be a basketcase knowing that people's lives are in danger. I would always be in tears. Good luck with becoming a nurse. You will be an awesome one.
wow its rosa!! so good to see you. im glad you messaged me girl. now we can be blog friends!! your fam is too cute, hows it with two? we are terrified of the thought of one more!! im so bad.
Wow Rosa. I didn't know you were so important! Knowing our family there will come a time that you may hear of an ambulance heading your way with one of us in it!
Man, graveyards are the pits! I hope that I don't ever have to work graveyards every weekend! By the way, the two shirts on my blog have different designs on them. I promise I have more than 1 shirt I wear daily.... I have 3.
I've always wondered exactly what you do. All I know is you work with my dad, but that's it. That is so cool you are applying to nursing school. That means you will have to move though :( I wish you the best of luck.
you must be good at handling stress. Are you guys moving to Twin? What did you think of Costco?
