After a bit of phone tag - we got Little One's ear and adenoid surgery scheduled. And it will be done at the ENT's surgery center, which is what I wanted. Way less scary than a big hospital, cleaner, less red tape. And it's right down the street from the hospital, should any complications arise. It will be just fine. Pass the xanies and let's move on.
Speaking of things medical, I have a new blog crush. Ob/Gyn Kenobi. Love! her! I found her from the delightful KC of Where's My Cape, to Mothers in Medicine, to Ob/Gyn Kenobi. And check out her blogroll... At Your Cervix? Hilarious.
I sat for many hours this weekend reading her archives (and I wonder why I can't get my laundry done?). Thank God she is so busy seeing patients and delivering babies that she doesn't post every day, or my eyeballs would have fallen out by now. Anyway, check her out.
Reading her makes me miss being in the working world (of course, I was delivering documents, not babies, but I loved it still), but also makes me glad that I'm not right now. But it did get me to thinking that I should keep my eyes open. Next year, my schedule will free up quite a bit, and I could probably fit in a part-time job without too much shuffling.
One of my plans for going back to work, was to go to nursing school.
Yes. You heard me.
Motherhood has been great training. I'm great at all nighters. I no longer feel bile rise in my throat when I encounter bodily fluids. I wash my hands 4,000 times a day. And I like wearing scrubs.
The only problem I see is my lack of patience with whiny adults. Really. Can't. Stand. Whining. Adults. Give me a roomful of whiny kids, however, and I'm right at home!
Ok - the other only problem is that you have to PAY TUITION to go to nursing school. That's a sort of sucky problem, to which I have no solution. I'm thinking that I really should earn SOME credits for all the hours of Discovery Health channel I've watched. Including a 10-hour marathon of Birth Day Live that I watched THREE TIMES. (Don't ask.)
And then there's Rocket Man, who points out that I already have two degrees that I'm not using. Perhaps I should look for employment in one of those fields.
Ever the practical one, that Rocket Man.
So if you see any job announcements for an out-of-practice law librarian, who knows a Supreme Court justice and could perform a c-section, in a pinch, let me know. Especially if I could wear scrubs to work.

Wearing scrubs to work would be THE BEST!
Go you! My mom's a nurse - hospice. You don't have to deal with the patients much but the families are murder. Just sayin'.
I want to go to design school when I get my get out of jail free card.
I think you should call Roberts up and tell him that you're looking for a law librarian job. Can you imagine what a reference that would be?! Holy crap!
I, too, think we should get some credit for DHC marathons. I feel I could perform an autopsy, deliver a baby, and handle ER emergencies with total aplomb. Also, I would be GREAT at busting myths. I don't want a dirty job, though, unless Mike Rowe IS the dirty job. Heh.
Seriously, wearing scrubs to work is like wearing pajamas. I would kill to do that. You know, if I had to go to work.
I agree with you that it is way more fun to get degrees than use degrees.
Go for it!
And by the way- I was addicted to Birth Day when I was pregnant :)
Actually, I'm pretty sure you don't need to pay tuition for nursing school. I think that there is such a shortage of nurses that there are all sorts of grants and things available.
