Here we are-Christmas Eve/Christmas morning. And lucky me, its my turn to work. At my workplace, we alternate working Christmas. So, I'm working Christmas this year, and off for New Years. Next year, will be my turn to have Christmas off and work New Years. Yup, thats how it is when you choose my profession. Work the holidays, weekends, nights, and all that good fun stuff. It's what you sign on for, when you become a regular ward nurse. And that's what my husband and kids are used to. Versatility. And when I work Christmas, we celebrate before I start my shifts. Just doesn't seem fair to make the kids wait till after my shifts are done, and doesn't feel right to fit in between shifts. So, this year 'Christmas' was yesterday, the 23rd, at our house. The boys and I did home stuff in the morning, like cleaning, cooking, and making lots of meatballs for the functions this next week. Then, Del came home early, and we played games, and had an early supper. After supper, we did our gift exchanges, and of course, played around with all the new 'toys'. Had a wonderful time together!! Today was relaxing at home in preparation for my 3 nights of Christmas shifts. My extra special bonus is, when I get to work, I'm working with family. Michelle and I signed on to work nights together. We figured if we're working Christmas, we might as well be together-and we are! So far so good.........
Wishing all a wonderful weekend!!! Merry Christmas! Enjoy your time well spent with family and friends!
