Doug asked if we would be at the zoo this weekend. Yes, it will probably be the only time that I get to go this year since the price of a ticket is so dang expensive! 14.95 for an adult ticket PLUS $3 to park. good thing the boys are so little, they get in free until they turn three. this weekend I get in half price so I am assuming it will be $7.50?

Doug, are you providing any entertainment this year?

new pictures on Aidan and Cole

Julie has been asking me how my new job is. I am so glad that i do not have to see people in crisis anymore. I really did not realize how you as the professional often get into a "crisis mode" as well. I often was running on adrenaline going from ER to ER or homeless shelter, etc; sometimes not eating.

Now with my new job, I sit at my desk most of the day and have people who actually want treatment (most of the time) come to me. It is more of a challenge for me since i have to be creative in working with different people and different problems. I had to hospitalize my first client the other day, and that was odd.

I am trying to run a therapy group for parents with mental illness. That is the most challenging so far since I am not doing well in recruiting people for the group.

Another challenge is teenagers who do not want to be in therapy but someone has "made" them.

That's my job so far. I enjoy most of it. I feel inadequate a lot of the time but then I realize I have a lot to learn.

yet again the months have flown by and i have not blogged. go figure.

just went to my friends' wedding this past weekend and i hope to have some pictures on the boys' blog soon. i did not have time to take any but others did.

argh! i always spill something on me when i wear white. usually coffee! do you think a clorox wipe will get it out?
