A hot chocolate kind of morning

What a beautiful morning. The sun is shinning, the kids are happy and not fighting today. Which is a huge change from yesterday morning. I love this cool weather. Sweatshirt weather I call it. The kids and I played outside this morning and of course they found all the mud in the yard from the rain yesterday. They were seriously black when we came back in. I gave them a bath and now we are enjoying some hot chocolate with whipped cream. YUM!!!

I'm so glad that today has been so wonderful. Last night I worked in the NICU and had a baby who is withdrawing from cocaine and nicotine and probably a few other things. This poor baby cried and cried and has so hard to console. It just broke my heart. And the stupid mom, when she finally came in kept saying "open your eyes and look at your Mommy" and "I want him to know who is Mommy is" I wanted to say to her "Why? So he can know who did this too him?" I wish I could have made her sit in there and watch him cry and shake. Instead she came in twice all day, but she did manage to go outside to smoke every hour. I'm sure she'll get to take him home too. AHHHH, this is the most frustrating part of my job. I just pray that the baby and his sister get put into foster care where they can be well taken care of and not have to live in an environment that obviously is drug filled and god only knows what else.

I'm hoping for a nice quiet night in Peds tonight with no abuse cases or anything else that is bad.
