Wimpy

*

My boss says she still wants to keep me on...I still want to take December off though.  They don't have any work to offer me really, not until the summer anyway; we'll see.  I'm keeping my options open, but I am still uncomfortable with the direct contact with patients, so I doubt if I will renew my contract regardless.  I'm a wimp, what can I say!

Hubby is coming home today after a four-day bender with the boys in Dublin...I'm sure it'll be a mixed blessing haha - I can't wait to dump the kids on him, but then I'm sure he'll be too tired-out to do anything useful with them ;-)  At least I'll be spared the harrowing experience of trying to get them to sleep.  Our kids don't like it any more than their parents do I'm afraid.

And of course while hubby was away and we were understaffed already at work, A got sick - a bad throat infection, and the fact that it hurt too much to eat or drink finally prompted me to take him to the doc's, resulting in ten days of antibiotics three times a day - which is a HUGE fight to get him to take every time.  Bribery with candy is my solution.  It's the only thing that works so far.

Otherwise the weekend alone with the kids went a lot better than I thought it would, sickness and sleep deprivation and all!  Not saying I want to do it again anytime soon, mind you ;-)
