QUICK UPDATE, CUZ I NEED SLEEP

Why don't I just do blogs every day, or at least every other day? It's so much easier for me that way. I haven't blogged in over a week, so I'm sitting here thinking, what should I talk about? What should I talk about the most? What should I talk about the least? Do I start from last week and work my way forward, or update from today and work my way backward. Yes, this really IS how my brain works. As one of my BFFs put on Facebook a couple weeks ago: sometimes I feel more confused than a mood ring on a schizophrenic chameleon in a bag of Skittles. That cracks me up, it's so me! You know, our lives are so stinking exciting, there's sooooo much to discuss (sarcasm). So here comes an update, in no particular order, no rhyme or reason.

I survived new employee orientation last week. Barely, but I did. It was excruciatingly painful. Anyone who has been forced to go through these stupid things knows exactly what I'm talking about. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, wants to play get-to-know-you bingo at 7:30 in the morning. But I did it, and now I'm an official employee of the hospital. The best way to summarize my new job is holy shit. Very fast paced, very detail oriented, a lot to learn, and on my feet all day. OMG what have I gotten myself into?

Took Colby to the Center for Courageous Kids camp this past weekend. We love this place. This was our 3rd time going. Honestly, we were this close to not going. Another lovely requirement with my new job was I had to have a Tdap booster shot, which made me feel extremely yucky for about 36 hours. Flu-like symptoms and very lethargic. I thought there is no way I can get this kid to camp. Plus my BFF Kim was going with us, as she has all the other times, and she had to work later than expected. But we rallied. Loaded up the van and headed to Scottsville, KY for camp. It's a major amount of work, but it was so worth it. On Saturday, Colby got to visit with friends. We went to arts and crafts where he made a Spongebob sponge character. How fitting for him, huh? Then we off to horseback riding. This was also Colby's 3rd time for that, but I'm telling you, it's nerve-wracking. He did great though. Then it was off to the lodge for lunch, then nap time. Any camp that has a built-in nap time is okie-dokie by me! After siesta Colby had his 1st fishing adventure. Look at the fish he/we caught! Then we went bowling. Headed back to the lodge for supper. They had a movie night afterward, but we were just to pooped to pop. We went to bed instead. Got up the next morning, had breakfast at the lodge. Colby played his 1st game of Yahtzee. Then we packed up and headed out, got home about 4:00. It was a busy, exhausting weekend, but it was AWESOME. Colby did so well. Can't wait for next year's camp to roll around.  

Okay, it's after 11:00 and I'm tired. Very tired. And 5:45 will be rolling around before I know it. G'nite, chaps, and toodles for now.
