Like Carol, there are issues at my work and though I work only about half-time most weeks, I still can get pretty worked up about things that bother me. When I feel that happening, I try to get away and come home. Home keeps me grounded. I talk to myself and tell myself these things really don't matter that much in the long-run. If it is something that affects our families at work in a negative way, then it is my responsibility to speak up or do something about it. I have no problem with doing that.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-90469954358272000752012-04-20T17:41:11.694-05:002012-04-20T17:41:11.694-05:00Jan, you seem a bit more laid back

She was John's RN. She is originally from NY. She graduated from her nurs program in 1971. She came to Albuq in 1976. I asked her what brought her here. She said she was tired of hospital nursing in NY and she and her husb wanted to try a new place. She said they moved to Phoenix for a year but did not like it and returned here. She is retiring later this year. She said 40 years of nursing is enough.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-44286993529864783732012-04-20T17:23:56.444-05:002012-04-20T17:23:56.444-05:00We have lots of weeds here.We have lots of weeds here.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-18943577062462858002012-04-20T17:19:56.099-05:002012-04-20T17:19:56.099-05:00I am not really passionate any longer about breast...I am not really passionate any longer about breast feeding. I am passionate about having some time alone to walk and swim (when my arm heals). I am passionate about my 3 sons. I love them so much and still worry about them when they are on the road or anything that puts them at risk. I love my grandchildren, but I love my sons more. Don't tell them that. If I think one of them is hurting in any way, I am beside myself. John knows this. He understands. He is that way about his kids too.

That was fun discussion between Obama eating dog and Mitt putting his on the car. I felt bad for Mitt's kids when I read that story. They had to watch the poop run down the windows. The discussion was fun to read - not fun thinking about the dogs.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-59258110426520835732012-04-20T14:33:04.824-05:002012-04-20T14:33:04.824-05:00OK, so I miss you two people so I was forced to go...OK, so I miss you two people so I was forced to go over to TM to see where you are. Now I know where to find you when I don't see you here. I have to admit I enjoyed reading some of the comments. Saw you both there. <br /><br />This reminds me of my sister. When I lived closer to my sis in OK/Ark a few years ago, I would get off work and call her. She was not at home or in her beauty shop. But I knew where she was. She was in the casino sitting at one of the machines that you put a card in and keep punching a little button. I wanted to see her so I would go and sit with her. I don't like to gamble but I did enjoy spending time with her. We would order burgers and fries and I watched her play and we talked some. After an hour or so I got up and drove home.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.com
