tracythomp - i'm writing

It has been a while since i've written. THings have been good. Work has been pretty stressful. Our administrator just past a new law that says that we have to except every patient that calls. We used to be able to say no to those who had a history of serious aggression or people with a history of sexual abuse. Now we have to take them all which has made my job really stressful. The past two days we have had major encounters with two kids who each time we had to wrestle with him for and hour before he calmed down. its been tiring. I need a break I think. Just a short one so i can regroup. I will get a weekend off over christmas eve but i have to work on christmas. Maybe it is just because it is the holidays but it has been exhausting. My class at school is finally over. I must say that this has been the worst class experience I have had in a long time. My teacher was not professional. I think I got an A in the class so that is worth it all i guess. I am so excited because Adam and I are going to Louisville next monday and tuesday to have christmas/adam's birthday with kelsie and the family. I'm so missing those kids.
Adam and I have just finished filling out our application for the peace Courp. We definately make a lot of big decisions don't we. We have been talking about this for a while. We actually started the application last may and we put it off because of school. Since school did not work out we went back to this idea which really feels like it would be right for us. There are a lot of steps to this process and it would probably be no less than a year before we would go. But we are enjoying the process. Tonight we have both of our work Christmas parties to go to and Adam has a show. It will be a busy night. Tomorrow we have another christmas party. It is a "ugly christmas sweater" party for our friends. One of our good friends is moving back to his home town in SC so we will be saying good bye to him.
I tell the kids at work all the time about writing and how it is therapuetic. I feel bad that I have gotten out of the habit because sitting down and doing this has been the best thing i've done all day. I haven't even made any profound statements or I haven't processed any thing major in life but just putting my concerns out there is really healing.. WEIRD! Well I guess now that i've voiced my life to you i should go get ready for my busy evening. MERRY CHRISTMAS
IT IS 65 DEGREES HERE.... IT DOESN"T FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS AT ALL
