1. Worked today while MC took The Mango and Elwood to the 'burbs to bask in the adoration of Oma, Opa, and the vast population of cousins. Text reports were that the Mango had a great time, and Elwood has fully entered his 'stranger fear' stage of development. Funny The Mango never met a crowd of people she didn't like.
2. Work did not suck, even tho' I was Charge Nurse. Yay!
3. There is nothing I can say about Ivy's passing. I have been thinking about her everyday for the past few months. Working in ICU I deal with people dying constantly, and I when they do finally pass I wish them well and godspeed to what ever it is on the other side. I wish she never had cancer. I wish she had a longer remission. I wish she didn't have to struggle as she did. She lived a month longer than I, from afar, thought she would. Too bad that last month was such a shitty struggle for her and everyone around her.
4. Yesterday I was off and woke up evil. Everything was on my last god damn nerve from Elwood's one year developmental clinginess, to The Mango's 3 year old craziness, to just fucking everything. MC gave me a much needed kick in the ass, and forced myself to stop acting like such a cranky cunt. Lunch at our fav local mexican place, later and I was fortified enough to bike the kids to the beach. The Mango was still a nutty 3 year old. Elwood freaked out about the sand, but was happy to hang out on the blanket with me, and watch The Mango dig in the sand. 2 hours later we biked home, stopping in the park to get mexican fruit bars. It was a total win, even if The Mango got all difficult and screamy at bedtime again. Being 3 is hard. On everyone.
5. doh, MC and the kids are home. gotta get them settled for the night.
