A NEW WEEK.......

I am not foolish enough to think the EPIC GO LIVE activities are over. We still have a doc who has not worked yet. We have some that are getting it, and some that are still struggling. I will sure do what I can to help those......BUT

I HAVE to work in my office. I am so far behind on things, especially March schedule. That is what I HAVE to do this week.

I did rest quite a bit this weekend. I slept 3 hours yesterday, and yes, I went to bed at normal time and went right to sleep.

Clint and Kristin are fine. They cut hours for Kristin, and Clint is working ALOT due to EPIC. He worked all weekend.

Scott is working like crazy, and Tobi had a tooth pulled and it still is bothering her, which bugs me. She is calling the dentist today.

CB is fine, cute as ever........ He is glad I will be home at normal times (hopefully) this week. ME TOO

NEVER BEEN........

I cannot recall when I have EVER been this tired, this long!!! WAAAAHHHHHHH! Poor me huh? I am sleeping when I can, and resting when I can....surely it isn't that I am too old for this kind of schedule I am keeping? Not sure how long I will work today, and tomorrow I will work from 3p-12a. I HOPE to be off this weekend. Saturday is busy with "fun" stuff.

THINGS I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2009

* One good snow (NO ICE) before spring

* EPIC newness to wear off

* American Idol, 24, LOST, Big Brother

* Seeing family throughout the year

* Women of Faith in June

* I Love America July 4th

* Las Vegas Trip July 5th with my family

* Playing cards with friends every weekend possible

That's just the first half of the year! Who knows what the last half will bring!!

ANNUAL NEW YEAR'S EVE P.J. PARTY 2008

Here we are!! We got in our pjs as soon as everyone got to our house and got settled. CB cooked steaks and we had a fabulous dinner. Then on to Hand and Foot, a very long game, which we didn't finish. Kathy was not feeling well, and I still was 'under the weather', so we actually were all in bed by 1:30am. We got up at 8 and cooked breakfast and everyone went their own ways to complete the holiday. We spent the rest of the day taking down decorations while watching football.

WHEW!! I think I am caught up blogging!!

This weekend St. John's goes live on our new electronic medical record (EPIC)! Last weekend we had 8 hour waits in the ED!! Uh, I can't imagine what it will be like THIS weekend, but all I can say is I will be there!! Pray for us!!!

ANNA'S ADOPTION

On New Year's Eve, I went to the doctor, then to get my nails done (most important), and then I picked up Clint and we went to Hinodes for lunch. Then picked up CB and we went to Anna's adoption. I think there were about 25 of us there! It was very heartwarming to watch, I never had witnessed anything like that before. And we were honored to be a part.

Went home after the proceedings and took a long nap, to prepare for our annual party....next blog

BARTLEY'S CHRISTMAS

We left Sunday morning from Tobi's to Texas and Sammye had a delicious turkey and dressing lunch waiting on us. Monday we drove to Hillsboro to see the family there. We had very nice visits. We had a wonderful time (other than me still being sick) and our time in Texas came to an end too quickly. We miss Texas......anyway, before I left I called and made a doctors appointment for the next day (New Years Eve). I am finally feeling better!

CHRISTMAS AT TOBI'S

I am a pitiful Grandma! I got only one picture of the kids, but then again, they were never together in one room after this picture. That is Zac, Brandon (left) and Kyli, Josh, and Megan (right). We had dinner and went back to Scott and Tobi's and opened presents. The second picture is of their new Boxer puppy, Rocky. He is the cutest thing, and I held him as much as I could. He is a sweetie. I was pretty sick, so we went to bed at midnight (Tobi is a night owl and can stay up MUCH later). We had a great day Saturday, it was cold and rainy, and we were in the living room playing Wii and the front door opens, and Tobi stares what seemed like a full minute, and then she screamed "this is the best Christmas present ever", as who was standing there? Clint, Kristin, Pancakes and Colby. They surprised us and drove down for a few hours to be with us. It WAS a great surprise and we had a blast. So, we had, 6 adults, 5 kids, and 3 dogs!! It was fun and all behaved very well, yes, even Pancakes! We left there on Sunday, back to Texas with CB's family. ...next blog!

CRAZY HOLIDAY SEASON!

Boy this was the busiest Holiday Season ever! I must plan differently or something next year! I have alot to blog, but, I also didn't have my camera at all parties! Anyway, our FIRST trip to Texas was to celebrate Christmas with my family. It was also Tobi's birthday, and she and Scott also came. Clint and Kristin were taking finals and working. We had so much fun, even sat up until 3am on Saturday night chatting (helloooooo! We are old now sibs!! We probably need our sleep!!) Anyway, I knew I could sleep all the way home. And yes we played poker, and guess who was the big winner!! ME!!!! We had so much fun!
