Articles of note

I'm surfing away and the boys are sleeping. It seems like this happens a lot. Now that Hubby is back from BigLab, hopefully, he'll get some rest.

I found these two articles that address families of those with disabilities and how they affect their lives. One man filmed a documentary of his experience. Have a look!

Where's Molly - Families get help finding loved ones in institutions (from cnn.com)
Shaw: A mother remembers a special life (also cnn.com)

The weekend!

At least I only had to work yesterday, and I'm off until Tuesday. We didn't have a whole bunch of patients in rehab, but it was busy!

Lots of fun stuff going on...my high school friend Ann and her husband Pat are awaiting a new baby. Hubby is almost done with his BigLab contract and working on a permanent position. Hopefully, we'll see how it all falls out by Labor Day. I'll be in orientation until mid-September, and then I'll have three months with no floating to any other units.

We took Bubba with my aunt to Innsbrook to see fireworks last night (they have an annual show the Saturday nearest the 4th of July each year). He got a little scared, but he enjoyed the colors. We got home by midnight and thankfully, he was asleep by then. It was a beautiful night and the bugs weren't too bothersome, either.
