As for the job update .... I only went 48 hours without a job. Thank God I'm a nurse! I am working for Community Home Health here in Claremore, and Friday was my first day. I was so scared to start something so unfamiliar, but I actually had fun! I think after 6 years, I needed a change! It may only be a short time before I miss the OR and decide to go back, but I do think that I need a break. I will have the flexibility that I've been hoping for when Braden starts school in August. If he gets the morning class, I will be able to take him every day, and I will only be a short distance from him. AND it only takes 10 minutes to get Braden to his babysitter (YES! a babysitter ... in 24 hours notice!!! Thank God for great friends) and then to the office! So, it looks like when one door closes ... many others start opening. It's just like the message at church this morning ... God has a plan for me, but he also has a perfect time for it. I know I screwed up, but I've picked up the pieces, and I'm moving on .... to bigger and better things.

Facebook withdrawal
I am dying without my daily "status update" on Facebook, so you loyal bloggers better just get ready for more wordy posts here. Facebook was a place that I could express myself, vent a little at times, and let all of my far away friends see how things were going here in Claremore. And I loved seeing how all my friends were doing as well. I had friends from Texas all the way to Italy that I kept up with on Facebook every day! However, I got a little too comfortable, and forgot that there's no such thing as "privacy" on Facebook ... or here for that matter. *sigh* My generation just loves to communicate electronically, and it had become such a huge part of my life. For those of you who don't already know, I lost my job over a facebook comment that the hospital thought violated a patient's privacy. I've since deleted my account, taken a long hard look at myself, and had to pick up and start down a road that's a little unfamiliar and scary. I've never been without a job, and I've never so much as been in trouble at my job ... until recently. Anyway, I know I'm rambling. I just wanted to share with you all, because many of you are just like me. So just be careful what you say. I know I will. I miss seeing what everyone is doing, but I can't say that it's been as hard of a "facebook withdrawal" as I anticipated! I may get back on some day so I can keep up with everyone's wedding pictures, and growing baby pictures ... but I can assure you my posts will be drastically different!

Amber- So glad to hear this!!! Am very happy for you! Will start my search tomorrow, we are going to be ok after all :( I think god did have different plans for us ....i'm excited to see where he is leading me. Happy Fathers Day to him, our Lord, my message this morning was about not giving up...keep on keeping and my new church - pastors son ended up being Geoff Slayden, and he works at Owasso SJMC.... Another small connection linking to everything. I've been praying a lot, or more so than usual lately- I think he's pointing me....although that's what it seems and everything has been like a giant puzzle that he's given me and I'm finding a piece every day in different day to day situations ( it's the craziest thing!!) he's speaking to me through various ways. But anyways call me maybe we can take the kids to Toy Story 3 this weekend ?? 3D baby!!
Correction* One of my Pastors son ended up being Dr. Slayden :D
So so so glad you found something so quickly. Enjoy your short communte :)
