i wish it had been a lazy sunday

last night at work was horrible. we were short a nurse for half of my shift and this new computer charting is taking me forever! i'm very good with computers and computer programs but it just seems like this system is going to take a while to get used to. it takes me a long time to just chart on one patient and when i have six patients to chart on thats over an hour just to chart the initial assessment alone! i don't have that much free time to just sit around and do nothing but chart. okay now that i've ranted about work lets move on to something more productive.

palm sunday...that was always a big day at church for me when i was growing up. my mother was always very active with the youth and i can remember her leading us around the church carrying palm branches and singing. it made me miss being so far away from home because she of course did that again this morning with the children of the church. they had an easter egg hunt last night and i would have loved being there. i don't get to see my nephews and niece often enough around holidays due to being a nurse and living 200 miles from home. i am looking forward to easter next sunday though...perhaps i'll put a basket together for my dog and boyfriend.

today started at 9:30...i had to get up so i could get ready for band practice. we got out of band practice around 2:15 and headed for columbus to meet my sister. i was sad to see her go but relieved all at the same time. i love having my family around but its been a very busy week with her being in town...its nice to go back to things being slower for a little while. but i enjoyed every second of her being here. now that the weather is nice and the kids are almost out of school my family will visit more. i'm glad for that...i love being around them.

i'm almost ready for bed after loads of driving today. i'll post again tomorrow.
