First, I just want to mention that our family has been blessed this year with a wonderful little girl. She is healthy, beautiful and going to be an amazing person when she grows up.
Many things have happened this year with Madison being born, Marisa and her family moving to Colorado, Inara's first birthday, our economy, the president and on and on.
I am thankful for all that has happened in 2008 and am ready for what 2009 will bring. There are many wonderful things that will be taking place this up and coming year for example, Aimee's is getting married, Jessica is getting married ( Sandra's sister), Madison's first birthday and who knows what else. I hope that 2009 will bring everyone a wonderful year!
There are many things that I want to work on this year which include getting more organized, putting things off, not getting inpatient so fast and probably some more things which I have to think about.
I hope everyone has a fun,safe and wonderful New Years!
HAPPY 2009 NEW YEARS!!!!

Madison's First Christmas
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I can not believe that the holidays are already over.
Recap on what happened during Christmas. Christmas eve Danny, Madison and I went to Palmdale to visit with his sister, niece's and his parents. This year was at his sister's house. We got there around 10 am and left their house about 5pm. We had a long drive ( 1 1/2 hrs) and it was going to rain. We arrived home about 7pm and my parents had made us dinner which was good. We then opened up gives since I was not going to be home on Christmas. It was a nice and quite Christmas eve. Christmas morning I went to work and it sucked! Not only did I have to work on Christmas, but we had no nurse's aids and no secretary! It was slow thank god, but it really sucked working on x-mas especially with no help!
Thank you everyone for all the gifts for Madison! She has alot of toys to play with which is great. I know she will never remember this day, but mommy and daddy will for ever! She did pull the wrapping paper as we pulled the gift.
Then on the 26th (which was danny's 27th b-day) Danny, Emerson and sis little brother went to Vegas! I decided to send Danny to Vegas because first it was his birthday and second because he worked really hard this past quarter and deserved a break! He said that they all had alot of fun! Also, he mentioned to me that he got picked up on by a girl and the girl then asked if he wanted to dance.. Danny said sorry I am married and walked away! Good boy papa!
I have decided to move to recovery as soon as I hear from the manager of the surgical department. I am tired of floor nursing and see that I am not likely it anymore! I do not want to bring my frustrations and anger home, so it is time to move to a new department.
New Years is going to be quite which I like. I do not like to be on the roads especially that night. I work New Years day!
This past weekend my parent's and I brought Madison to see my Uncle Mike and Aunt Trini. Boy, does she love Uncle Mike! Thank you very much Uncle Mike for cooking such a wonderful lunch it was great. It was great to see Spanky and visit with the three of them. The driving was great no traffic going both ways. It was 2 hrs there and 2 hrs back we did great timing!
I hope that everyone has a Happy and Safe New Years and I look forward to 2009!

What's Been Going On
First, I just want to say Happy 5 month B-day to our beautiful daughter. Gosh, I cannot believe that she is already 5 months old today. She is doing very well with eating the baby foods, rice cereal, etc. Also, she is slowly learning how to hold her bottle; she knows what her bottle is. My reading says to say the name of the object so she will learn. Also, she is beginning to sit up on her own. Yesterday, I was working with her on the bed and in her room. She sat up for maybe 1 min on the floor, and on the bed she sits for about 1-2 minutes. Now, we need to work on crawling. I have been putting her on her stomach and she does very well with lifting her head and grabbing for objects, so it is just a working progress. Oh yeah, she also knows her voice and loves to make sounds! It is very cute.
Work has been very slow because of the holidays. On Thanksgiving weekend we only had 8 patients and our max is 30, so yes very slow. Also, if it was not for the insurance I have at work then I would quit and go to another hospital. All of the protocols, rules, and how they run the hospital are starting to get ridiculous. The hospital is expecting too much from nurses, we can only do so much!!!! And on top of that they are watching their productivity and cutting staff which is starting to get unsafe. I will keep you posted on the work situation. I became a nurse to help people and do everything safely, but now you are having to watch everything you do to protect your license.
Danny has his last final in Anatomy this Thursday which we cannot wait. He got an A in communications (which is the only A in the class) and an possibly an A in English, but we wont find out until next week. The English professor said if he got a 6 on the FEE (final exit exam) then she would give him an A; however, Danny got a 5, so we will see what he gets. Good job Babe keep up the hard work :)
I forgot to mention that Danny and I purchased another car. Yes, but we got a really good deal. It was a repo from our bank. It is a Ford Expedition, Eddie Bauer edition, 8 seater, DVD player, leather seats, sunroof with only 7,200 miles for $23,000. We could not pass this car up! So I have officially bought my first car. No more leases for me! We will post a picture of it when Danny is done with his final.
