Went to EMT class today. Had a great day sicker then a dog but a good day none the less. Had a get together last night for the kids. They played HARD now back to the grindstone of the week with the kids going to school, me trying to get Pt. contact hours and studying.

I am really here to hopefully make new friends. Friends that have something in common with me. Someone that loves being in the streets and being that person that makes a difference in someone's life. I have been pretty much a stay at home mother for the last 8 years. Now all my kids are in school and I am looking for adult conversation and not having to watch Nick jr or noggin with kid talk. Do I make any sense?

I am not used to a rural setting. This is all new to me. I am used to bigger cities and running strictly als trucks. Rural settings are soooooo different. We are an hour either way you go to the closest hospital. And were we live we have winding curvey roads so the accidents here are not the BS you usually see in the big cities 75% of the time. They are BAD accidents so we do a lot of fly outs. My husband is stationed is this LITTLE BITTY town that know one knows of with not even a Wal- Mart. SO that ought to tell you just how little this place is.

I was certified in 1994 to 1996 and then again from 1999 to 2001. The first time around there were not so many changes. But OMG at all the changes now. New CPR changes, new AED's seeing things out in the field that ALS providers can do, a sternum IO. I am so excited to get back into things but it is kind of hard comming from the streets from way back to having to go to the classroom sitting again. But I am having fun and love my instructor.
