I have this blog that I've not used in quite a while. I have a boring life, not too much going on

I'm a registered nurse. I have my BSN, I earned it later than most. I went back to school after my youngest started school. All the planets were aligned and the opportunity presented itself

I believe this was the best move I have ever made for my family. It gave us the financial freedom that has enabled us to buy a home, send our kids to college and be ready for retirement (well, sort of ready).

I work in a pediatric ICU.  I love job. I love my work.
I get to help children and families and get paid for it. It's a win/win. 

I recently had to be off work for 2 months due to a herniated disc. That was painful. I'm about 70% now and back to work. It's hard but easier than staying home.

My husband and I have been married for over 37 years. We've been through child rearing, children moving out, loss of our fathers, children marrying, children having child, children divorcing, cancer, a child being shot, 2 children going off to foreign war and all the other things that constitute life.
I have no magic advice for a long marriage, just be calm and carry on. Try not to be to quick to say things, they can never be unsaid.

I'm currently looking for a system of house cleaning that doesn't involve me. So far, no luck
