    Christmas Shopping!

    I'm a last minute shopper. Always have been. I think it comes from snooping around and finding the toys as a kid. If I don't buy gifts until Christmas eve, I know the surprise is there.

    And it makes for a wonderful conversation in the checkout line... "look what I got for ..."

    Anything to distract from the tabloids.

    Yep, they spend so much time on their own bodies how much can they know about yours? Neurology is so much more rewarding than Kinesthesiology.

    I'm having a rough day... slept over 20 hours! Guess it was my defense mechanism in dealing with feeling that I had to play God Saturday morning.

    I'll be going soon... 11.30 pm now... 30 minutes at most.

    I just had a rough time with this decision. I hope it all turns out for the better, but I seriously doubt it.

    I just felt that this baby shouldn't have been saved, but it was my duty to do the best I could. Now it might live, if it lives, with a lifetime of mental and/or physical disabilities.

    You make a professional decision based on the circumstances and possible outcomes,that's all you can do.

    Although I know its hard to reconsille yourself to difficult decisions,from my own experience its better to leave it there and pick up the baton for the next one that needs you.

    I know you are right Red... but this one was hard. The decision wasn't actually a decision, I had to help this baby based on it's weight. The outcome won't be good, but I had no other option.

    Luckily we saved Mama's life. If that's any consolation I'll take it!

    If the rules say the babies weight is viable then you had no choice.

    You have guidelines and rules and laws... nature would most likely not seen this baby survive,but nature does not always get a say... you help save someone's daughter/wife/partner/mother... thats good work for one day.

    J, I'm so sorry that you had to go through this.

    This is why I could never do what you do, it would be too hard. I'm glad that there are people out there that do what you do, so that people like us can sleep easier at night.

    You do a wonderful job every day. That's all you can do, nothing more.

    In other words, cut yourself some slack lady. :)

    Hugs and love to you.

    Sounds like you get a fun week too.

    We have two days of school and then Thanksgiving Holiday (well, the holiday plus a teacher's workday).

    Thanks for reminding me. Garbage and recycling are messed up this week, too. :(

    Garbage. I like hearing about garbage. Haha. It is all I know besides football.

    Do they run a day behind then? Here, this week we will be on schedule Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. We are off Thursday then we will work all day Friday and Saturday to make up for being off Thursday which will make Thursday and Friday a day off.

    Sorry for the blabbering
