kids. wednesday. lonely.

let me start with kids. 

ive always loved kids. i can remember "working" in the nursery EVERY sunday when i was a young'un just so i could play with the babies. 

basically- nothing has changed. 

when i worked in the ER i went OUT OF MY WAY to have the peds (aka kids) patients. 

seriously. even if they were screaming, crying, miserable, I wanted THEM! 

the past 3 days I have been immersed in kids. 

(as a result i have a snotty nose myself, and a sore throat- but whatever)

all day. kids. 8 hours. of non-stop snot, pee, screaming, goofing off, laughter, and silliness. 

its been phenomenal. it makes me want to work with kids. all the time. 

really. 

kids are just so different. they are hilarious. they are silly. they scream and cry- but for some reason- i can tell them to chill out and it works. i love walking in a room and saying "whats up" to a 7 yr old boy and he looks at me like woah. you can't be my doctor. 

(well. no im not a doctor. but im going to see you today. and kids- heck most adults - don't know what an NP is- so they think doctor. it works)

i digress. children. i love them. teenagers are CRAZY. dumb. clueless. and "too cool for school". i LOVE talking with them. trying to 'straighten out their thinking' and give them a taste of the grown up world. like a 14yr old girl who WANTS to be pregnant. her best friends have a baby and she wants one. really?!? you do. do you know how to have a baby? do you know about sex? stds? what a baby does? how it changes your life? 

my best friend is pregnant too. that doesn't mean i want a little one of my own! 

anyway. ireally enjoyed spending 30 minutes talking with her about this serious issue. it was good. really good. and heck. she may still end or pregnant, but i did the best I could to educate and help prevent it.

so it has been a great- and EXHAUSTING 3 days. 

2 more to go.
