One week down...

One week down of orientation & training, one more to go.... This past week has seemed like an eternity. It was frustrating & very exhausting, as I quickly realized that I had to follow up multiple times to assure things were properly taken care of (you know, important things like making sure I would get a paycheck eventually). Also, I have had to readjust to getting up earlier than I would like. We have had so many briefings & training on this & that, I really don't know anything anymore. Actually, today I learned that if I want a day off, I have to fill out 4 pieces of paperwork!!! Are you kidding? So, enough of that...

On Saturday, we (interns & family) had a BBQ at the beach. Ismael really enjoyed playing in the sand & kicking the soccer ball with his cousin Drew's long-lost twin. I'll get a picture soon...or I could just post one of Drew... Anyway, the water was about 65 degrees, so our feet were all that got wet. I hear the water is great in August & September.

After Ismael's nap, we went outside for a little bit of golf. Unfortunately, his $5 golf clubs from Walmart lasted all of 15 minutes, so it was a short game.

Sunday after church, I decided to clean the lawn chairs I had gotten at a garage sale. Ismael, however, wanted in on the action & decided to wash his car- all by himself, of course. He has definately entered the stage of wanting to everything himself... Afterwards, we played a few croquet games (Ismael's golf clubs were exchanged for sturdier croquet clubs). I must report that Ismael & I beat Axel 2-1.


So, another week of painful orientation & training... tomorrow it's Neonatal Resuscitation...
