I have been working my ass off at work. Getting the unit and the staff up to being independent. It is so true about finding people you can trust to run your unit. I have two day shift charge nurses that kick ass and one who needs help. I get tired and loose patience with them easily. Then i feel guilty. I just want to scream.. take a breath it is going to be alright it isn't a car accident. But we did have a hypothermia and a IABP!! I had to work Tuesday night. My goal for the unit is to work on competencies and get everyone up to where they can handle what comes in the door with out me being there. I caught up on paper work and have my audits on track. I have been eating like shit - not packing my lunch or eating crap when i buy it. Typical out of control activities that i get caught up in then get on the cyclic self pity bus. I need to sit down and create goals for the next 6 months. I want to do the Danskin agian and I want a better time. The rest of November is Diet and good eating habits. I want to be able to head to the gym at least three times a week for the rest of the month. The stress of working 5 days a week, with a 1st grader, toddler, husband, house, cooking, meeting everyone's expectations and all that jazz has made my goals fall behind. Tonight a friend of mine is competing in a body building event after training so freaking hard and watching everything she eats. I am happy for her.
