March Madness

Oh my goodness! Where has the time gone?! Seriously, this last month flew by...but I'm not complaining b/c it's now officially summer! Booyah!

Some of you may be wondering what I've been up to lately. Well let me fill you in. The majority of my time was spent driving all over Northwest Ohio filling out and turning in job applications/ resumes. Seriously, I'm pretty much a pro at filling out an application...5 minutes tops. But for awhile I was getting a little discouraged b/c I wasn't hearing back from anyone and there didn't seem to be any open positions anywhere other than PRN (as needed/on call), which I'm not really interested in at the moment. But I decided to take a PRN position at Vancrest (the place I worked as a nurse aid) so I could at least start working and getting paid as a nurse. Well no sooner than I start training at Vancrest do I get a call from a long term healthcare facility in Defiance asking me to come in and interview for a full-time position on 3rd shift! FULL TIME! YEA! Well I went and interviewed at the beginning of this week and it went really well and last night I job shadowed to see if it was something I would like to do. I really do like it and I think I'm gonna like working the 3rd shift too. I haven't been officially hired yet, but it's looking promising. YAY! Look at me getting a full-time job with benefits and such! I feel so grown up! Weird. Anyways, that's the scoop on that.

Something else exciting happened this month. While I was up in Toledo filling out job applications, my new baby NIECE was born. Yeah that's right! Score one up for the girls! She was born on March 10th and she weighed a whopping 6lbs. 7oz. Just a little peanut! Her name is Hudsyn Michelle Schlatter. I have lots of pictures, so at some point I'll try to get one or two on here so you can see how precious she is. So now its Nieces-2, Nephews-5 (soon to be 6).

Also while I was up in Toledo that weekend I decided to give my friend Dan a call and we got to meet up for some coffee and ice cream. mmmm. And I have to mention that Dan is now a proud owner of a "Grow-a-Head". http://www.pbase.com/efatapo/image/75657437

Kristi, don't worry my dear I haven't forgotten about you. But I will admit that its a good sign that we need to hang out when I can't think of anything to blog about that concerns you. I'm not forgetting anything am I? I kind of feel bad about this...I'll make it up to you peeper! I promise!

Well I need to fill out my FASFA and finish my taxes so I'll see you all next time on the 'Shannon Schlatter Show' (I dare you to say that 5 times fast) :)
