Survived

Mom has returned home. Last week was an adventure, and it is one I could do again! I stayed with a family in Wright WY and they were awesome. It was definitely an experience to sit back and watch another family without having to be involved. There were 3 teenage girls, mom, and dad. Oh yah and one bathroom for everyone:) They treated me very well. The fieldwork experience was also more then I could ask for. I was in the school district and got to observe how Occupational Therapy works in the educational setting. The kids in this setting were a blast and the benefits they get from OT is unexplainable. It was not all good though...I have come to really dislike the school district and the philosophy, what happened to putting kids needs first! Nope now its all about who is gonna get paid for what services. I want to work with pediatrics but I think I will steer clear of the school district setting.

Now you ask how did my family do.... It was wonderful, they found out just how much mom does:) (bonus for me not for them) I realized how much they can do without me!!! Wow...do I hear a win win situation here? The only thing I realized not to do when leaving Ken in charge is give verbal directions without writing them down. Example....Ken please rotate the last load of laundry and put the stuff in the wash into the drier (this was stated to him on Sunday before me leaving town). When I returned home on Friday evening, and he could not find towels for family we had in town I discovered the laundry was not rotated. Why.....it was not written down! Of course I did write down to take the trash out on Friday and that did not get done either???? The last story would be that a mother does need to remind children to shower, fathers do not! By Wednesday dad realized Mikaela had not showered since Sunday.

I am blessed to have them all and would not change for the world!

My next rotation in December is here in Casper...no traveling for this one yahoo!

Thanks to everyone for all the support!
