Board Certified PA-C

I passed!  The minimum score was 350 and I got a 536.  One less thing to worry about.

A List for Tuesday

5 Things I've Learned This Week:

1. Dutch does not yet grasp the mechanics of a fort.  He wants to climb ON the blankets and not under them.
2. Snow in May sucks worse than snow any other time.
3. The more I have to do the less I want to do it.
4. Teenagers are way more impressed than adults when you say you're a writer.
5. Me making a fort with my arms and legs covered in a blanket is just about the coolest thing Dutch has ever seen.

What have you learned this week?

"I need my keys. I can't get into things without my keys."

Tonight was the first night that Dutch took a book to bed.  I am so proud.  The book was Skippyjon Jones by Judy Schachner.  I read it to him just before bed and he refused to relinquish his hold on it.  So we let him take it to bed with him.

Dutch is obsessed with keys.  Much like Norman in the play "The Boys Next Door" he insists on having keys on him at all time.  If you have any spare keys, feel free to send them our way.  He likes to try to open doors, cars, basically anything that locks.  Keys have become his security blanket.  We've decided he'll either grow up to be a race car driver or a car-jacker.

We had another first today.  Dutch pooped in the bathtub for the first time.  We survived, but I hope it doesn't happen again.

Words, words, words, we are not getting enough words.  Dutch is throwing fits left and right, all because he cannot effectively communicate with us.  I've tried teaching him to sign, but he stares at me as if I have "STUPID" tattooed across my forehead.

Wednesday Chris takes his boards.  He's been studying hard and I'm positive he'll do well.  Your positive thoughts and prayers would be much appreciated.

In other news, it snowed today.  Not even freaking kidding.  I was pissed.  I hate snow more than just about anything, but snow in May!  That's just someone's sick joke.  And it's not funny!

That's all for now.

Happy Birthday Evie!

Happy 3rd birthday to my baby niece Evie!

If you didn't know, she's HUGE in Japan.

A List for Tuesday

5 Things Dutch Has Done in the Last Week That Have Upset and/or Embarrassed Me:

1. Hitting a little girl at church and making her cry.
2. Locking himself in Kellie's cousin's car, with the keys, on a hot day, at Grandma Morgan's funeral luncheon.
3. Removing all his clothing (and diaper) so that I found him in the morning completely naked.
4. Throwing an enormous fit at Grandma Morgan's funeral luncheon.
5. Throwing an enormous fit pretty much every time he doesn't get his way.  Twos are fun.

Chris Davis, Graduation Guy

With everything that's been going on lately I didn't want Chris's accomplishment to get swept under the rug.  He's a graduation guy!  Yesterday was his official graduation date from Seton Hill University's Physician's Assistant program.  He's already had a couple of interviews and he takes his boards in a couple of weeks.  I guess the schooling part of our lives has come to an end and now we are (hopefully) embarking on the making money part!

Congratulations Chris, I'm very proud of you!
