I work nights and try to be a rational parent in the daylight hours. My kids see me as the "bringer of the donuts" when I come home in the mornings. I'd like to think I'm more than that ... I'm also an out of shape 40-something former triathlete and jogger living a progressive life in a very conservative part of the country.

Living in a Winter Wonderland!
My friend Joanie reminded me last night that I was so behind on my blogging that I was still listed as living in Virginia!! I still have some fun pictures from an adventure or two while there, but I'll have to post those later. Right now, I'm living in snowy Denver, Colorado!!! I had to get out my flannel jammies for cuddling with Oakley on the couch as you can see above:)
I got here a week and a half ago after a four day, 1800 mile journey across 7 states. The little Ford Escort was loaded to the brim and a full load was also bungeed on top, but we made it over the Appalachians, through the pouring rain across Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, and luckily had sunshine for the (boring) drive across Kansas and the Colorado plains. It was actually really sunny and warm the week of Thanksgiving, but the snow finally came in last night. It's still flurrying out - but it's not too cold and the dogs are loving it!!
I'm working in the NICU at the University of Colorado hospital which is right across the street from my apartment. So far, it's a great place to work and everyone has been very nice and accommodating. I'll be here till the middle of February so hopefully there will be some skiing, riding and snowshoeing in my future!
Here are a few pics out of my window at this exact moment.....

YEAH! A post from Jenn!!!!
I'm glad things are going well for you so far, hope it continues to go well. We're supposed to get some winter weather so I've acted like a Damn Texan and bought out half the stores in preparation LOL
Nice PJ's I have some just like those :) Glad to see you are settling in. I think we are getting some of that snow around here within the next few days. When are back around IL again?
