Quick Update

Life has been pretty busy lately. We bought a new little puppy and to say he is a handful would be the BIGGEST understatement of the year. He's name is Duke, he is a 2 1/2 month old boxer (he is a flashy fawn like Dutchess for those of you who have seen her). He likes to terrorize anything and everything in sight. Dutchess was a little unsure of him at first but now she is starting to warm up to him. This whole house breaking thing is for the birds. We had him on a schedule and he was doing GREAT.... then we finished the backyard fence so he spends most days outside. And now he has decided to play/eat outside...potty inside! But we are trying to get him back on track. We get Good Friday off from work, not really sure why since most PT's have to work that day, but no complaints here! Hopefully, I will have time this weekend to post up some pictures of the "kiddos". Other than the devil child, life is great and we are just busy enjoying this lovely 80 degree weather!

I thought this was a story my fellow PT's would enjoy. After work last night, I stopped by the grocery store by our house. So I of course was still sporting my work shirt that has PT physical therapist on it. The young, very, ummmm let's say naive, cashier asks, "are you a physical therapist." To whichI replied "yes." Then cashier asks, "so what do you have to do to become a physical therapist? Do you just have to sign up for a class at PJC?" (local junior college) Yep sweetie just takes ONE course at a JUNIOR COLLEGE to get a master's/doctorate and treat patients. WOW! I think my face was priceless at that point. I wish it was that easy! I could have started all this at 18!!!!

Sorry I have fallen off of the blog-wagon but this last week has been hectic! Not to mention all the snow, but we had to work our first weekend together. That was interesting to say the least! During the week I work at one hospital doing mostily rehab, but also any CCU, psych, or step down cardiac patients while Jeremy sees all the acute/ortho/post op day surgery patients at the other hospital. This way we only see each other at home. Well for the weekend, on Saturday I covered my usual case load and he covered his. But on Sunday I was on his stomping grounds, having Dr. Nelms direct me (first time EVER at the south hospital for me, I was so lost!) Needless to say, 6 days straight without a day off and then working a day together not so good on the marriage!!! But we survived. And at least we only have to do that once every 7 weeks or so. ...

"It never snows here...."

Oh where have I heard that before?!??!! Oh that's right, when we first started up in Amarillo, they gave us the "shpill" about bad weather but stated it rarely ever gets bad enough to cancel school. Well, then it did. Then I moved to Paris and we had forecast for snow. And everyone, even the crazies at work, said "it never snows bad enough here." (insert below pictures) So, the next time someone starts to tell me that I am going to tell them...SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!! Well, maybe not so harsh, but you get the point. Too bad there aren't snow days anymore for us :( We didn't get to play very much in the snow because we both had LONG days at work and the next day by the time we got off work, the bulk of it had melted away.

Yes, Dutchess has become quite the priss. She whines after her bath if we don't put her "clothes" on and Jeremy bought these little booties for....SO SPOILED!
