Ahhh, The simple life

Well more simple anyway. That's how it feels. I'm down a husband and a daughter. Rene and Isabella are enjoying themselves in Germany visiting friends and relatives. Chloe and I are enjoying a staycation while the house gets painted. Running errands and meeting friends for lunch occasionally are about the only things on our agenda. Oh and I have picked a room a day while they are gone to be the focus of my attention. It was my intention to scrapbook everyday as well, but that one I have not accomplished. I did however print some pictures, so I'm getting closer. It's amazing how simple it seems with just one kiddo and no work worries. I did make a vow to not check my work e-mail or voicemail while I'm off and so far I've upheld that. I guess I'm not living controlled Chaos this week. I think everybody needs one of these. I reccomend it for everyone!

Renewed interest

I love blogging about what goes on in my life. I just need to get back into it. It seems I just wander around the internet aimlessly! Here is my center. I need to build it into my routine.

We are back from Disney. We had an absolute blast. I feel so fortunate that my mom and dad could come with us. I loved being able to share my girls first time at Disney with them. I remember how much our family loved our trips to Disney growing up. One of the most special trips is when we took my grandmother with us. I hope that Isabella will remember it fondly too. We even got to see Grandpa Don and his wife Mary while we were there. 3 generations of Rennell's. It was neat and Isabella becaming fast friends with them. I miss it already and want to go back.

Rene and Isabella are headed to Germany Next Saturday already. I'll miss them, but Chloe and I will try to have some fun here. I'm excited for this opportunity for Isabella and her dad. It's important to have some of special things with just him, and this is a big one.

Work is keeping me super busy as always. I've had ENPC, a triage class, and LVN class this month. Competency day is next month. In between I've been revising the RN orientation manual and creating a web page for the department. It's no wonder my brain is always spinning. Combine that with the increasingly busy schedule with the girls and it's definatley chaos. I just hope to control it most days!!
