Blogging

Ok so I really am trying to do all of this... AARGH! I feel like Charlie Brown when Lucy pulls the football away. Just when I think I have it down, something moves. Bare with me while I work on the site. Laura, you may receive frustrated phone calls. I do most of this on my mini laptop, which is great for school, but we have issues when I try to do things that require patience. If my laptop survives the process of setting this up, then I will be happy. Stay tuned I should get this moving better in the next week.
Thanks Laura for the hints. Keep em coming.

Holes in my ears

Tia decided the week of her birthday (3rd) that she needed (because EVERYTHING is I need) to have holes in her ears like Mom and Gigi. We went to Katherines's ever so fun birthday party at Sweet and Sassy. I called Jason (to spare him the trauma it would cause..him). He said he HAD to be there when she got this done. Tia fell asleep crying that night because she needed holes in her ears. Next day....Gigi and Papa go with us to the Sweet and Sassy in Ft. Worth. I think mom tricked Dad into going, but she won't admit it. Dad goes to the opposite corner of the store. Tia picks out her earrings, very cute flowers that are crystal on the petals and pink in the center. She climbs up in the chair smiling ear to ear. Such a big girl. The lady marks her ears, oh Tia is so excited. Each lady gets an ear and place the earpiercing gun on her ear. Ok eyes are saucers and terror has just swept across my baby's face. We had told her it hurt before she went in, but she didn't care. They had given her a stuffed dog to hold before piercing. I asked her if she wanted to snuggle him and she threw him to the side. Guess puppy took the brunt of her unhappiness. Jason got the mirror and it took a couple of minutes for T to look up but when she did the HUGE smile came back (through tears). She doesn't like to clean them everyday, but is getting better. She just smiles so big when anyone compliments her earrings. She is getting TOO Big. Jason is still trying to get over the trauma. :) The pictures above are in reverse order I will figure this out someday!

Slacker

Ok so I am not doing a good job of keeping up the blog. I did write the cutest on about Tia that went with a picture.....You have to have the memory card in the camera for the picture to go to my computer. I am sure there is another way to retrieve it but I am not savy at it.
Tia is awesome. Getting bigger every day. She went home with mom and dad last night to spend the night. She had on sweat pants, t-shirt, her jacket, socks, her High heels (purple with flowers on them and plastic), and her butterfly purse(sequins and white in the shape of a butterfly). She can walk better than I can in those things.
I had a cool experience today. Rarely will I ever blog about work, but htis did my heart good. Almost ayear ago I had one of the worstd ays ever. My patient coded 2 times in 20 minutes. All day I struggled to help keep her alive. She had a rough go the whole time she was in the hospital. Today she came in the ICU to visit another patient. She looks amazing. We had heard she wasback to her normal life. We had no idea she was honestly normal. This makes my job worthwhile. I really helped someone live. WOW!!

Hoppy Easter Bunny Egg

OK so I have now been guilted into doing this by My Annie. I hope it will let those who are interested keep up with the Atwood's. We are plain busy and I don't know where the time goes. Tia is 2 and that will keep the blog bust in itself. I am still working for Baylor on weekends (hoping to change the weekend thing soon) and Jason is still lovin' Whole Foods. I will add more later, I just wanted to get started here.
