Nurse's Holidays

Yesterday, Christmas Eve, was actually Christmas Day to our famliy. One of the joys of being a nurse, and soon to be a midwife, is that patients don't go home, and babies don't stop coming just because it's a holiday. This year my mandatory holidays were the 4th of July, which I lucked out of working because I was on maternity leave, and Christmas Day, which when you have young kids really bites!! On the flip side, I have had off every other major holiday this year, and with our love of the lake, I'm fine with making that trade. Besides, we pretended like yesterday was Christmas, and with Ava being as young as she is, and Ethan not really knowing anything yet, they never knew the difference. I will have to say though that it just doesn't feel like Christmas when you're sitting at work blogging and all your family is at home playing with the toys they unwrapped yesterday!! After I get off tonight I think Dillon and I are going to break out the Wii I got him for Christmas, and a case of beer, which after all the holidays I am really needing. It should really make for some good drunken fun!!
