Back to Work!

Yup, that's right....I'm back to work! It actually feels kinda good. I'm sure it won't take long for that to wear off! I got a part-time job at MUSC Children's Hospital and just finished a week of orientation classes. It will definitely be an adjustment getting back to work, but I'm excited. It will be good for both Madi and me. It was hard leaving her, but comforting to know that she is staying with either Scott or people we know and trust. Jessica, who is a Child Life Specialist and works in the ED with Scott is watching her some and Fran is also keepin her. We are very lucky to have such wonderful people to offer to keep her when needed.

Being away from Madi was definitely harder for me than her! She would be happy and squealing when I would get home, and Jess and Fran both talked about how great she did during the day. As for my job, I will be working whenever needed on the different inpatient pediatric units. I make my own schedule, which is great and allows Scott and I to work my schedule around his, Fran's, and Jessica's. I sign up for the days and shifts I'm available and they place me on a floor that needs me. My only requirement is to work/sign-up for 24 hours in a 4 week period.

I'm a little nervous about going back to the floor, but ready to get back in to the swing of things. It's een 7 1/2 months since I've worked, which is kinda hard to believe! I have my first days on the floor next week, so we'll see how it goes :)
