Toddler Travel; a new type of terrorism (part 1)

October 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Since we are such seasoned travelers with the twins we decided the whole family would fly into Detroit for our friend Maser’s Ohio wedding. Obviously we weren’t thinking clearly.

Lately I’ve been wondering what the hell I was thinking when I decided to become a nurse. The floor has been SO busy with constant admits and discharges, everyday there is 5 patients to a nurse (legally that is the most you can be assigned). I wasn’t sure if I was cut out for it. [...]
