new job...again!

I'm starting over, again, with a new job. I've been recruited since early November to work for an LTAC, or Long Term Acute Care facility. It's a type of hospital. They finally wooed me long enough, so I'm excited/anxious to start my journey with them. It was quite a long process and everything that could go wrong in an interview process did. I'm pretty apprehensive about it, and my new territory will put us back in North Dallas. I'm going to see how things go with the job before we decide if we're going to move again or not. It's not that I didn't like my current job. I enjoy the work and the relationships that I've created. Let's just say that I'm going to prefer my new manager's leadership style and understanding of life/family/work balance. This week is my last week with my current job. I'll start my new one on Monday. I'll keep you updated.
I have to write about this story about my bug; I'd like it recorded so we don't forget. Ashley Norwood was in town at the beginning of Dec. We LOVED having her visit with us!!! We (Ashley, Henry, and I) were sitting at the table having lunch one day. Henry was finished, so he began taking his bowl and putting it on his head/face. Annoyed with his behavior, I took the bowl and said something to this effect, "No, Henry, this is not a good choice. The only way you can have this back is if you say 'bowl'." Then I took the bowl and set it on the table in front of him. Ashley and I were talking about something, so we continued our conversation. I, honestly didn't think anything about it because Henry wasn't saying much those days. Henry, meanwhile, was staring at the bowl and shouted, "BOWL!" I looked at Ashley and said, "Did that just happen?" She said, "Yes, it sure did." Needless to say, Henry got the bowl and continued to put it on his head, face, or where ever. I've adjusted my discipline appropriately ;) I love that little boy so much!

Haha! I'm so glad I could witness that! He really thought about it for a second, too... What a sweet boy!
