Well, today the girls had fun coloring. We were reading If you give a Mouse a cookie and came to the page with crayons on it and they were trying to pick them up, so I asked them if they wanted to color and they said yes. They had fun coloring on paper. Then we went outside and finger painted. They really had fun with the finger paint. They were having so  much fun that they started to paint on themselves. Then they desided that they need to draw with chalk.  After awhile they were off to play in the dirt. They enjoyed their time outside which was good since it has been so hot and later tonight it is suppose to rain. I am trying to get some pics uploaded sorry that we have not been doing so lately. We actually did not take very many for the month of June. We are such bad parents . Hope that everyone has been having a good week so far.

Monday,Jul 25 2005, 07:13:44 PMStaying cool

Or should I say trying to stay cool. The heat index was up to 114 yesterday. The girls and I have been staying inside as much as we can. If we do go out to play it is first thing in the morning when it is cooler. Saturday I read about 20 books to the girls. One after the other. They keep on saying more, more when I would get done with one stack. Elizabeth has been keeping me busy with going to the toilet. I think she just likes to put a star up. There are times that she will go potty and then 5 mins later she wants to go again and she actually will. Not much else going on around here. Clint is on his last week of medicine and then he moves to ER.

Friday,Jul 22 2005, 09:52:10 PMHaving fun

Well, I will try to post a little something about what the girls have done today. I bought them each a shovel and a bucket so that they can play in the dirt. They had quite the time this morning. I got some pics and will try to get them up soon. We also went to playgroup again today. They had it inside of another church due to the heat. This place was strange to be in a church. They had a mini food court and an indoor play area with a ball pit for those 4 and under and other equipment for children ages 10 and under to play on. They also had at least one if not two air hockey tables and a few arcade games. It was  a little nerve racking due to all the older children running around with my two and the other small children that were there. Elizabeth enjoyed the ball pit. The only problem was that the kids(nor some of the parents) did not obey the sign that said 4 and under in the ball pit. The kids were throwing the balls hard at each other. Elizabeth got it twice in the head but it did not seem to bother her. The other ladies and I in the play group spoke up and one of them even got managment.  Some of the kids (even ones that were suppose to be in the pit) were jumping in making me nervous that Elizabeth was going to get it. Heidi was not sure of the pit and actually started to cry when I put her in. She stayed by me for a while until she saw some seats that you could bounce on. She ended up spending most of her time there and I had to have her share that seat with her sister and then also find something else for her to play with so that other children could bounce.  There were at least two other seats so that was good but I thought it would be wrong to have her hog one the whole time.  They really did not want to leave and I actually had to coax them to leave by having them think it would be fun to leave with one of the boys that was in the play-group. Then they saw the playground outside and it was another bit of coaxing to get them into the van.
Some of you have been asking about Elizabeth and her potty training. Well, I am having problems with just letting her run around in training underware after she got up in my bed, which she is not to do, and wet my bed. Sure some of you are saying sure blame the kid but she did. I bought star stickers for the girls to put up on a board each time they successfully use the toilet. I hope that this will help motivate Elizabeth and then we can see about the training paints again.  Well, I most go and tend to my child that just hit herself in the head. I will try to write more later.

Wednesday,Jul 13 2005, 02:10:37 AMAlmost ruined

Today was the perfect call day, but it almost turned terrible.  I had 2 admits and was winding down and getting ready to leave when I get a call about a patient having a heart attack in the ER.  Fortunately for me, the other intern was up so she got the patient.  My first patient was a transfer from the critical care unit and will bouce to another team tomorrow.  That is the best type of admission to get:  no H&p, CCU writes transfer note and orders, I just write an accept note, and another intern gets them in the morning.  It counts towards my cap, but doesn't create work.  My other admit has renal stones.  I got 0 calls on cross cover and managed to watch all of Conan the Destroyer and a bit of Sonja the Red.  All that and I walked out of the hospital at 8:45.  The earliest it is possible to leave is 8:30.
