Babies make parents feel better

She NEEDED that “dumped” on her.

SNF?

Strong Nuclear Force? Sunday Night Football? Saturday Night Fever?

Ah, Skilled Nursing Facility.

S.N.F. = Skilled nursing facility. If a patient is going to need long term care they are sent from a full hospital to an snf for rehabilitation

Rare to see Marcy disgruntled due to work..

I love my job, but some days, whoo buddy!

Talk about a rough day at the office.

well, at least you get to lay down at least. :j

Baby therapy! Nothing like it (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧☺️❤️

I don’t know.

My wife is an X-ray Tech…. in the real world, the patients are usually sent TO Radiology with zero paperwork!!

Them who can, gets asked to do more!

The one time I was in the hospital, they made me return to my room every time I tried to walk the floor.

She inspired Joe.

You’re a dead man, Joe.

Joe’s a good husband…I’m sure he wouldn’t have “dumped” the twins on Marcy unless he knew they’d help her feel better.

Enjoy the couch tonight Joe.

Marcy finally gets aggravated about SOMETHING……

The twins should help Marcy cheer up, but I hope that Joe is either in the kitchen preparing dinner, calling for takeout, or arranging for a baby sitter and dinner reservations.

Husband was executive director of a children’s day program which served as school and mental health counseling service for the children who were emotionally disturbed. They were the last step for the children to live at home – if their problems were worse they needed to be put into residential care.

Dealing with the staff, parents and children was hard enough – but he also had to deal with state ed and state mental health. State mental health would tell them that they had to do “X”. They would setup to do so and spend a good deal setting up for what they were told they had to do and then State Ed would come in and say “You are NOT allowed to do that.” or vice versa.

He got so burned out that even though he was only in his 50s I told him to take a leave of absence to see if it helped I would support us (already was working full time) – and we would expand our hand crafted business to actually money with it. He quit his job after the 6 months we had talked about. Apparently I should have said a year – as after same he missed going out to work. But since then we are together almost all the time. (Have not killed each other yet.)

So if she decides to take a leave of absence – it should be for a little longer than she thinks it should be.

I thought it was Saturday Night Fun

When I went in to have a pacemaker installed I caught covid. In recovery I found out that they developed a vaccine for Covid. That day. So when they released me they wouldn’t let me take Uber I had to wait 4 hours for them to get a van ride for me. Insane.
