Tomorrow is the day. Back to work. I can’t believe it is already here. I had about 4 months off, lucky me! Like I mentioned before, I have mixed emotions about it. Mostly, I am feeling a little nervous right now. I felt this way every day of work for the first two years I was a nurse. Sometimes it involved crying on my way there. I hope tomorrow doesn’t involve crying. It might. I just have no clue (ever) what my day a work will hold and it could be a nice, easy day where everything goes smoothly or it could be a crazy, running around like a chicken with your head cut off day where you are constantly one step behind and can’t see how you will ever make it to the end of the shift. I am praying for the former. I am praying for a good night sleep for me and for Tegan and that it will all go super smoothly and I will be happy to be there and back, regardless of the circumstances and what my day holds. I want to have a good attitude and to be happy. It is very easy to slip into having a bad attitude and to complain like crazy, especially when everyone else does which is often the case. I am really really going to try and have been praying this for myself over and over again. So, tomorrow, if you think of it, say a little prayer for me-and for our moms as they watch the kids and I will be ever so thankful!

In my spirit yesterday, I felt the need to pray for you. God knew- even if I didn’t (I knew the Big Day was close, but had no idea it was today). You are certainly in my prayers, as is the whole gang: grandmas, children, your patients, your co-workers. I look forward to hearing how it went!
Love, Tisra

Think of it this way, I would be so blessed to have you caring for me if I was at the hospital. You are God’s hands, and God’s comfort for those you care for today and always. Tegan has arrived… Got to go!

I am sad that you cry… it’s ok to be sad. But she is right, people are so blessed to have you caring for them, they see you and think ‘security’ and ‘comfort’ and ‘someone who knows what they are doing because the person who is sick doesn’t have a freakin clue and are scared’ Many people become nurses because of how encouraging and wonderful their nurses were, like Chelsea when she was going through all her Leukemia stuff. Bet you have blessed more people than you will ever know…
