I'm Staying With Aunt Bobbi

This little girl is the light of my life. She is my niece "Mallory".


My sister always jokes that she gave birth to my child. My niece looks like me, acts like me and has the same mannerisms as me.


It's been such a joy getting to know her this past year that I've been in Utah. Whenever I would go run errands, she would always come with me and had become my little shopping partner.








I'm was so sad to hear that Connie and her family would be moving back to Denver. I was going to miss that little girl and our shopping trips.
She had her Aunt Bobbi wrapped around her little finger and she ALWAYS came home with something from our trips together.



Well, Connie informed me today that I wouldn't have to miss her at all.
These are the series of text messages she sent me earlier today.


"Mallory" just told me she's going to miss me.
Said you got you and her an apartment.
I guess she's staying with you.

Then when I got home she again said that she wanted to stay with me. I get her and mommy and daddy get her brother.

God I'm going to miss that little girl when she's gone.

How

How do you help someone that doesn't want help?

How do help someone that thinks they can get through very painful things by themselves, or without the help of a professional?

How do you help someone who says they want to get better but then they don't do anything to make it happen?

How do help someone that won't help themselves?

How do you put your family through this kind of anguish?

He's Obsessed Now Too!

Ok, so obsessed isn't the right word but I got my brother in law hooked on the Twilight series!

He told me he had seen part of Twilight but fell asleep halfway through and that he wanted to watch the whole thing.
So Friday night I fired up the DVD player, put in Twilight and we watched it together.

Then Saturday night we watched New Moon.
We were supposed to go see Eclipse today but we never made it.

I have to take Connie and now iKeith, so I'll get to see it a couple of times. Lucky me!

Eclipse!!!!

I'm deeply saddened by the fact that I will not be attending tonight's Midnight screening of Eclipse.
As much as I LOVE my Edward, I love my sleep more and I have to work tomorrow.

So, I will be going this weekend to see my lover man and the totally hot man child.

Suzy, this is for you....
Enjoy!!

I'm Bummed

I'm bummed.

I had a big list of all the funny shit patients have said to me over the past couple of weeks and now I can't find it!

And shut up, I had to write it down because if I don't, I forget.
Early onstage Alzheimers perhaps?

The only one I can remember is a patient telling me about his anxiety attack and that "anxiety really takes a toll on your psychic".
Indeed it does sir.

The Bachelorette Screwed Up My Post

So....I was going to write a real post tonight but Connie got me hooked on The Bachelorette, so I ended up watching that with her.

It took us 2 hours and 15 minutes to watch a show that should've only taken an hour and a half.

I'll write my real one tomorrow because I'm pooped, but make sure you check out Connie's recap post of The Bachelorette!

Three Cheers For Working Moms

As I write this I am so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open.

I have to hand it to you working moms, I don't know how you do it. How you work outside the home and then come home and take care of kids is beyond me.
While Connie and Keith were on vacation last week I helped my parents take care of the kids. They did it during the day and I kind of took over when I got home from work. And I gotta tell you, I'm exhausted!

So tired in fact, that today at work I thought a co worker told me to take a Levitra. You know, one of the happy pecker pills.

My hat goes off to all you working moms!
