BINGO

Today at one of the nursing homes I work for a little 103 year old sweetie fell off her bedside commode trying to get back in her wheelchair. As she waited for nursing to check her out and then help her up she stated, "I have to get up because I will be late for bingo!" All I could think about was I hope she did not break a hip or injure herself in another way...AND she was thinking BINGO! I love working with these seniors! They often have such a fun perspective on life!

Do you feel comfortable around the elderly?
Do you have a fun story about how an elder put perspective in your life?

Today is the day!

Today I start my new job. I am working at two "small town" nursing home/rehabiliation facilities as their OT. I will float between the two. I am ONLY working on Tuesdays and Thursdays (I continue to tell myself that over and over!)I am excited about doing something different and the job is sooo flexible, but my real concern are my kids. Not only is today my first day but also Little Bit's. I stayed up late last night writing the teachers a long note about EVERYTHING I could think of to make it easier for them to take care of him the way I do-Ha! I know he will be fine, right? AND he knows I still love him, right? ...Of course he will and of course he does! I'm at a point where I have to let GOd take over my concerns because I am one to let them consume me.



My adorable husband sent me flowers (he is out of state right now, *sigh*) to wish me luck and to thank me for "making it work" (he also said other sweet things, but somethings are to be left for my heart only). He is so thoughtful...

I will be on my knees (in heart) in prayer all day today.
