One door closed, with many others opening...

Marley Nils, thinks that every shoe is a headrest. Did I mention how much Nils is like Marley? After watching the movie, it did make me like Nils a little more...maybe he will calm down someday? He's only 35 in dog years.

It has been the craziest two weeks of my life...hence, no posting on the blog. Going back to work was incredibly challenging. It took me about a week to adjust to working nights again and trying to figure out how to balance family, household duties, sleep, and playing with Maddie. Go figure I failed the first weekend. Jeff had Grad School and I was working, lets just say now I know I can't go 48 hours without sleep! No, I did not put pillows around the entire bed, grab everyone of Maddie's toys and let her play while I closed my eyes. And no, I did not turn on cartoons and give her the nuk and hope that she would watch them for at least an hour. Yes...I most definitely did.

Maddie has been such a trooper. She goes to Mt. Spokane Church Daycare twice a week and spends Tuesday's with Grandma. Daycare is right next to Jeff's school, which adds a little piece of mind in case she ever needs us. She loves getting to play with BIG Madison and Connor at Daycare. She get's a report card everyday, (they write down how much she ate, when they changed her diaper, and her attitude) we put it on the fridge when they mark "Cheerful". Jeff has been awesome with Daddy duty during the night while I am at work. Maddie has been going to bed around 8 and sleeping until 5.

Tuesday night was my last night of work at my old job. Off to the NICU starting Monday. I am excited about the challenge and the awesome schedule. I will be working days for a month during orientation. I am nervous about many things including the acuity of the babies and hoping that I "click" with the team of nurses :) I will really miss my friends at my old job, but the opportunity to work in such an awesome environment is something that I can't pass up.
