Chicken Parm at 2am

Not a normal thing you say?? Well apparently for me it is! That's what time I got to eat the dinner we ordered that I think arrived at like 9. It was still good and quite frankly I was starved so anything probably would have tasted awesome! I also had a Dunkin Donut at 4 am, I can see that the night shift likes to eat crap, but so do I so we are a good fit! Lets just say I opened a bag of Oreos after my dinner, so about 230 and they were basically gone by 630. And I only had 2!

Good night, lots of firsts the more I do for the first time, the more exciting - and yet scary - it is! I did however, have to start an IV (or try I should say) on a FOUR YEAR OLD..........O man was I dreading that. I will say, that both times I tried I got blood, but the guys working with me said I must have hit a valve on one and a bi-furcation on the other. That my technique was perfect and I obviously was in the right place because I got the flashback, but it just wasn't meant to be. And the one who did get it in after me had to 'fish' around in the kids arm cause the vein was all over the place. I was looking at the vein the hand they wanted me to try and all I could think was, is that thing bigger than a piece of thread? And you want me to get a needle in there??????

PS I've now been up for 23 hours straight, never got my nap yesterday. I have a feeling at the end of my 3 12's I am going to be EXHAUSTED. And look at what day that will be - Dad's memorial. So here's to hoping I make it through the weekend! O and I decided to only order one dozen butterflies that way I only lose 1/3 of the $ if for some reason they don't fly. The weather was still borderline but I so badly want to do this. I cant wait to see what happens!

good night
