The Kelliher Chronicles

Hi all,

Boy! It's been a long time since I last posted. I started a prn (as needed ) position over at University Community Hospital (UCH) (on October 16th) located about 14 miles or less from the house. I have a short-cut I take that gets me to the hospital in 15-20 mintues and sometimes more -especially on the weekdays, it's taken me as long as 45 minutes. I work about 25- 32 hours a week now , but will be converting to 40 hours , maybe in January. I don't know yet....I am really enjoying the prn position , with its flexible schedule.

Bill is staying with the kids during the day and he plans on taking classes (hopefully) in January ; he wants to get his degree in theology.

Rachel is doing really well in pre-K4 ; Bill went to her parent/teacher conference the other day and they said Rachel needs to work on letter recognition.

Jude loves having his daddy all to himself during the week. Bill has been getting alot of stuff accomplished at the house and Jude likes being helpful when Bill lets him.

Amber's doing alright in school , she just needs some redirection and encouragement to finish her homework and projects on time. She'd much rather go on the computer, out with friends , or talk on the phone. She is a social butterfly and it is hard for Bill and I to keep track of all her friends; I never had so many friends. The trick is finding more about each of them and making sure we guide her towards the ones who are the best influence for her. Amber is going to be 15 in April and she is impressionable. I remember what it was to be 15 and I recall feeling quite misunderstood by my parents.

Well...Christmas is only about a month away; I can't believe it!! I hope to get all my shopping and cards finished early. Bill and I want Jude and Rachel to do some craft projects to give away as gifts. That will be fun!

Take care, Love, Anita
