Manic mommy of the week

It has been a crazy week. I can't even figure out where the time goes. One day it is Friday and the week is ending and the next thing I know it is another Friday. Where does all that time go, right??? I'm doing a pretty lame job keeping up with the blog but things are crazy. I'm not going to bore everybody with the workings of my life but there is never enough time for everything that one has to do in a day. Just for a taste of things that are happening. Work is going great. I started exactly 6 months ago in the practice I'm in. I went from having one or two patients a day to now sometimes a dozen. More than half of the patients each day are NEW. This is fantastic but time consuming. I spend usually 1-1 hour 15 minutes with each patient and each of those notes is taking me at least 1 hour to complete. Part of it is that I am very wordy in my letters to other doctors and the other part is that I'm still trying to work with the EHR we're using in the offic.e Kids are doing well. Ginger is getting used to a walk around the block now 3 x a day (before it was once) and 1-3 of those times are with me... and of course, the kids want to come so it takes 10x as long. Sammy picks flowers and squishes bugs along the way and Ari wants to walk and then be carried and then walk and then carried... well, it repeats even more times than that. At the end of these walks I don't know who is walking who. I feel like a life chain link walking down the sidewalk. We're researching a lot of schools for Samantha to start in the fall. The school system leaves a lot to be desired and 90% of the people we know down here send their kids to private schools. I'm finding out why slowly. It is sure a learning experience. Ari started walking and really throwing himself into it. He has already sliced his lip open during one of his falls (no stitches fortunately) and bruised the corner of his eye on antoher fall. They are in school for about 9 hours a day and I miss them terribly. The weekends are packed. Never a dull moment. Justin is well but exhausted. He's been up late most days watching playoff games and being on call. Such is the life. Enjoy the videos. The quality is not great... they're taken from the Blackberry since I can't find the powercord to the video camera to charge it up.
