isn't it ironic

that i was talking about having to look for another job and Tuesday I got into work and have an email waiting from me from the director (CW) saying that things are winding down and Friday (yes that Friday the 16Th) would be my last day there. I felt like I had been sucker punched to say the least. A freakin email is how I was told after 9.5 years there. an email giving me 4 days notice. How professional is that?!? I wish I can say I am surprised but I am not. So Tuesday night I packed all my personal stuff that was there, applied online for unemployment (which hopefully will be enough so that I can finish my clinical and not have to worry about getting another job for 4 months) and left out the back. needless to say I was a tad upset.
Well you can bet your ass I didn't go in on Wednesday or Thursday (wasn't going anyway cause it was my dads birthday) and Friday I went in (he actually expected me to work a full day!) cleaned off my computer, turned in my keys and parking pass and left. Said bye to like 3 people and that was it. I passed CW and he was all cheery and smiles and said HEY! to me. I just glared said Hi and kept walking. I know this is a blessing in disguise but it still hurts. And I know that there is still work to be done and there is no way they will have it finished when he wants it all done. ....but not my problem anymore. I do feel bad for my coworkers this year there has been especially bad. I see lots of turn over in the very near future.

Aside from dealing with the above I have a head cold....always fun coupled with an allergic reaction to the antibiotic the dermatologist gave me....LOVELY. R left for Chicago on Thursday for NCAAs and he bought me a dozen beautiful roses. He said because I okayed his trip and because I had a rough week. total shock and so so sweet.

My dad was so surprised when my aunt and uncle walked into the house on Wednesday night. His face was priceless. They are on their way to the airport now, hopefully their flight will get out on time. It was a very nice visit. My in laws were suppose to fly to Curacao yesterday morning their flight got cancelled....it only flies out on Saturdays. I feel bad cause they had this vacation planned and they are stuck in NJ still.
I should probably go attempt to shovel some more (its basically all ice and a PIA so it slow going for me.) the girls cant even make snow angel's or snowmen because its all frozen over. oh well.

enough babble for now.

and yet again time goes by quickly

the first 5 weeks of my clinical are finished and things are going great. I am loving it. Damn good thing too considering all the time and money that has been put into it. My supervisor did my evaluation and gave me great scores which makes me happy. Hopefully something will open up in the department so that I can just stay. Its so close to home and I really like the people....and its close to home.
Girls are doing well. Finally healthy, I think. K is over her pneumonia and they are both over whatever viral thing they had. The weather is starting to get warm again, I just hope this doesn't mean more illness. L was complaining about her ear tonight...hopefully its nothing. We should own stock in antibiotics and CVS. Glad we can fund our pediatricians vacation home and country club memberships.
I need to figure out another job for the next 4 months cause really once we mail letters there will be no need for me to go in after my clinical to get things entered. And I can't not work, that just isn't possible, which blows. But I really don't know what I could do to make the money. R said to be a bartender (it would take me longer then that to learn things). I was thinking maybe Kohl's or something like that so i can do evenings or weekends.
R is LOVING the new job. which is good cause it has made a huge difference around the house. with us and the girls. He is in a much much better place. I look forward to when I am too (halfway there....). He is going to Chicago for the NCAA first rounds this week. I found them some kick ass airfare (patting self on back) so that helps.
My aunt and uncle are coming up from Florida on Wednesday. I haven't seen them since K was 10 months old. My uncle hasn't been up to NJ since my wedding 5 years ago, cant remember the last time my aunt was up. My dad has no idea they are coming which is great! His birthday is Thursday so this is a surprise for him (its his brother). I am excited for L to finally meet them.
And that is all I have to say for tonight. I think I need to go to bed. Don't forget to change those clocks!
