Winter Comfort Food

On this dreary, raining day, I made this soup for dinner: Chicken Corn Chowder with Sweet Potatoes. Yummy! It was super easy (I bet you have most, if not all, of the ingredients in your pantry/refrigerator!)---and super delicious. I served the soup with a side of garlic breadsticks. The recipe makes a lot, but even better for left-overs! I promise this recipe will not disappoint!

School Nursing

I have been working as a school nurse now since November 1st----and I really like it. I find that every day is different. The stories that I hear from the students are never the same....and some of them get quite comical. Just ask me about the kid who told me he "electrocution shooting through his body" and then proceded to throw himself on the floor because the "electricity was so strong". (I think I should nominate him for an Oscar winning performance!) I have a great clinic assistant, Jennifer. She has been working at the school for 8 years and as the clinic assistant for 5, and she is more than great. She can triage those kids in and out of the clinic---and she knows them by name, their parents, their family history, etc. She has been a wealth of information coming into this new environment. My job is pleasantly not stressful (most of the time), and the kids really are great (most of them). :-) I have met some great people that work in the school and I am happy to have joined them.
