End of the month

Its been an interesting month for sure. Here are some highlights:
1. Mother's Day: We visited Grandma Gloria before heading out to the Martin's House. Celeste unfortunately fell asleep in the car so it was only Rj that came down the car. He prayed beautiful at Grandma & Grandpa's website. Then asked why they were under the soil. He did mention remembering Tita Tessie's funeral and asked if it was the same thing.

Enjoyed the company and entertainment with family. Celeste was very interested in the dogs. She especially enjoyed playing with Sonic who was pretty calm with her. Someday we hope to get another dog. Zeena showed her "Bang" trick but for some reason was confused when Tita Susan tried it on her. Of course Guitar Hero was in the house too. Awesome time!
2. With the low census at work I've been getting alot more days/nights off than usual. I used that time to be with the kids of course. Managed to get see some new movies. Even saw Nights at the Museum with just Rj and me. Its just amazing how he can sit through the whole movie at a young age. This time he was really paying attention to the movie and would ask me questions during the movie with a lot more louder voice than usual.
3. Had the scare of my month. I got a call from Mom's work and they told me that she fainted at work and was taken via ambulance to Good Samaritan Hospital. After putting the phone down I found myself unable to think clearly. I found it almost impossible to keep myself together but I did. I called the hospital to find out if she really was there and they couldn't locate her name. They nicely gave me the number to call the other hospital near that area and they too did not have her name in the system. Sitting in the van at the Belmar guest parking while waiting for Julie I found myself thinking "They lost my mom!" Not a good feeling. After calming myself down I called the first hospital and she was in their ER. Spent the rest of the day there until they had to transfer her to Torrance Memorial to further find out if the cause of all this chest pain and fainting were heart related. The following day she was discharged because all the tests were negative...Thank you Lord!! The symptoms of a heart attack on women is not the usual classic signs for men ( chest pain, with numbness to the left arm etc.) Sometimes it can feel like really bad heartburn...
4. There are some changes going on at work due to the changes in the economy so alot of my coworkers are uneasy and nervous. I figure as long we still a job we are doing ok. Personally I think the change will be beneficial to us all-patients and staff.
5. Finally made the jump and got me the iPhone. All the more I am connected to the internet and facebook...hee hee ! Not to mention a gazillions apps of just about anything.

FYI: Rj will be graduating from PreK & the ceremony is on June 19. I didn't even know they had such a thing.
