I think she likes being a nurse. And I think she's good at it. Of course, it is hard to know either of these for sure, but I think I am right. The shifts are long (which strikes me as a bad idea, but they didn't ask me!), but it means she usually works "only" three days a week.
I think I'll talk to the kids some more about the 4th tonight. They want sparklers and such, which we don't have here. (And it probably isn't a bad idea!) A picnic sounds fun, but it is going to be really hot! The minor league baseball team has fireworks tomorrow night after their game, so that's another possibility. We will see what happens!
