  • incoherent thoughts

    i have spent the past two nights in front of my computer, trying to make a reference guide for our WGU program that we’re starting up with huntington.  i just gotta say thank goodness i’m getting paid for this.  i don’t know how people stare in front of a computer all day long.  it makes you feel gross and almost nauseous.

    it’s always difficult starting a program from the ground up.  after reading the entire faculty handbook, listening to two webinars, and sifting through myriads of emails and attachments, i think i understand this program backwards, frontwards, inside, and out now.

    having a different role for these two weeks has been a breath of fresh air.  it’s hard work in a different way.  it’s not stressful in the sense that lives are resting in your hands and you can make a mistake and kill someone or inject yourself with some really horrible disease at any given minute…but it’s still stressful in its own way because it’s something that i’m always thinking about constantly…i want perform well and earn the respect of my students and co-workers, especially now that i’m working directly with some of the head honchos of huntington.  scary thought.  i need to be all professional and stuff. 

    i am loving the hours, though!  gone are the long 12-hour shifts and hello to a much more “normal” schedule…actually BETTER than normal schedule as i can set my own hours, come and go as i please, and work from home in my pjs sipping my own brewed coffee.  sweet life it is.

    anyways, instead of studying the faculty handbook, i think i need to study the bible now.  goodnight!

  • i miss this crazy kid…

    a lot.

     

    happy 3rd birthday, eli!!

  • my conversation w/ wonger re: ding baby #6

    me: i am amazed at how many of these things lois has popped out.  that is astounding.

    wongs: The question is: who’s the machine – evers planting babies in lois or lois pumping them out??

    me: i think pumping them out is harder than impregnating.  just my nurse’s opinion.

    wongs: I trust your professional opinion.

  • happy (belated) birthday, mom!

    i’m so thankful that i was able to be home for Christmas AND my mom’s birthday.  my mom has given her life to raise two daughters (30 and 27 years old) to know, love, and fear the Lord as well as love & support my dad through their 31 years of marriage.  as i enjoyed our family’s simple celebration of my mom’s endless service to our family, i couldn’t help but think that proverbs 31:28-30 was such a suitable description of my mom’s life.  she is not just a new wife or a new mother, but a seasoned wife and mother who God has graciously molded and sanctified over the years…and our family has felt the effects of it.  if that’s not something to be praised, i don’t know what is.


     

    “her children rise up and bless her; her husband also, and he praises her, saying: ‘many daughters have done nobly, but you excel them all.’  charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.”
    -proverbs 31:28-30
