I have been stalling on posting because I wanted to post some pictures, but it seems like evenings are full and the only time I have time to post is when I take a short break at work, so maybe I will post some pictures during the Thanksgiving break. Anyway, it snowed here last night (3-4 inches in town, 5-6 at our place). Have I ever mentioned that I hate snow!!! I get that it can be pretty, but basically to me it is cold, wet and a pain to drive in. I should probably move to Arizona, California or Texas so I didn't have to deal with it.
Last night I stayed the night in the Sleep Lab (no it was not to avoid driving in the snow, although that was a benefit), because one of the boys in this program needed a sleep study and his foster parents refused to stay here, so the only way to get him a study was for me to volunteer to stay here as well. It wasn't too bad, except at 5:15 am the technician knocked on the door to ask me what time I wanted to be awakened. Apparently I wanted to be up at 5:15, because I couldn't get back to sleep and finally gave up. My suggestion at our next staff meeting will be to ask the patients and/or their family members about wake up calls before they go to bed. Anyway between snow and sleep deprivation I am a little cranky today. The up side is that I started work at 6:00 pm so I got lots of catching up done.
Forrest has started playing basketball at the high school and he is very excited. He made the Freshman team and he is having a great time. The only challenge for us is transporting to and from practice and games, but he is very appreciative of the sacrifice and it is helping him with the changes that he needs to make.
