Divorced with four kids, not crazy just fertile...lol. They are 18, 13, 13 AND 11. At least two of them have the bug and love being at the station and wanting to be in fire/ems when they're older. It's kind of neat thinking I may have started the first generation to a long line of volunteering:-)
Day Job:
Screening potential organ and tissue donors....
Relationship Status:
Divorced
Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I participated in a FF1 class as a reporter to write and take pictures of the experience for a levy that was on the line...needless to say, the levy passed and I was stuck:-) Graduated from paramedic school in '05.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Challenges...I love being the person that makes a difference in someone's difficult time...
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Recruitment and retention in the part time paid/PPC department. How much longer can these departments hold on? Many in my area refer to themselves as full time, part timers, and as the numbers of volunteers dwindle and the training requirements climb, I don't see how some departments will survive...
You are certainly staying busy! My oldest daughter just got her permit within the last month! I thought that I was a patient man..but....WOW! At least she is not taking the truck and driving away on her own yet!!!!
Have a great night. I'm off to bed and hoping that I dont have to get up in the middle of the night. I hope that your upcoming weekend is great. We have a big softball tournament...so I may drink a little this weekend~~~
You sound like an amazing person. I have 2 boys and they keep me busy by them selves. I couldn't imagine doing all that you do with 4! Good Luck, Stay Safe and have a great week!
SQUARE.......I have so many angles......you wouldn't belive!! I'm glad that you are finished. I hate being in a class that I have no interest in. Actually...I do Hate math.....although the ole...friction loss formula comes in handy from time to time....Have a good week.
Thanks for stopping by to say hi! No, I think I am happy with the separation of EMT and RN the way it is now. Like you said, enough is enough right now - not saying that may not change in the future. Hope you are having a good one - drop me a line anytime!
How deep is the snow out there? Still snowing out here, I think we are getting the leftovers of the storm from your way. Not much new to report. taking one day at a time. TCSS

Hi fellow divorcee and mom, lol. I too may get to start the first generation of a long line of firefighters, but of course my daughter is only 3 and my nephew only 4. But they love the fire station!
Any takers on the Manny job yet? You should get a little busier since you have about 15 minutes free a week right now. Maybe you could squeeze in a few more activities!
