Hello...

So, Hello...

This is me, Shannon T. Nash. I have never blogged before but sounds like a good outlet to express my feelings. Just hope that no one reads it.

I am married to my wonderful bride, Lynn S. Nash. We have 3 children, Heather, Lisa and Tyler. Heather has two boys, William and Jayson, and Lisa has a girl, Kaliegh. We also have 2 dogs, Isaac and Izzy, they miniature schnauzers.

I am a Registered Nurse with an Emergency Medical background. I have worked in emergency medicine for the last 25 or so years. I began my career as an EMT back in 1988. I was also a flight nurse for Air Evac Lifeteam from 1999 to 2011, but more on that later.

I currently work as a RN in a Level 2 regional Emergency Room in Northwest Alabama. My wife is also an RN with as many years of experience and works beside me on the same shift daily. We are best friends and enjoy every minute of our time together.

Enough for my first post.

Be Blessed!

The Christmas Arguement!!!

So today we had an argument with our oldest daughter Heather. It was all over Christmas!! Imagine that!!

My wife's and my schedule for the holiday season came out recently. The only day that we are off during the holiday season is Dec 24th, and Tyler is gone to his dad's until the afternoon of the 24th. So it only made sense for us to have our Christmas on Dec 24th evening.

Lynn told Heather that we were having Christmas at our house on the 24th, that evening. That didn't sit well with Heather. She had already made plans to having Christmas eve with her in-laws, who are off all week and could have their Christmas at any time.

Heather would not budge, we asked her to ask the in laws if they would change their Christmas to Christmas day so we could see Heather and the boys. But Heather was so frustrated and mad that Lynn didn't ask her, she just told her when we were doing our Christmas, that she refused to ask anyone to change. She said that she was not going to be at our house Christmas eve evening, she said they could come over for lunch but not that night. What I believe that she never heard, was that Tyler was not going to be there at lunch time.

Hence the argument began!! Lynn was mad, and rightly so. Her daughter was choosing to have Christmas with the in laws and not coming to see us. My wife got very upset, because we always have to change our plans due to the in laws, she lost her temper and posted some nasty comments on Facebook.

Now, I have an opinion about Facebook, if you don't like what you read or see, then move on!! There is a scroll button for a reason. There is also a un-friend button if someone really offends you and you don't want to see that anymore. But one thing, it is a public open forum to talk about anything you want, but just like TV, if you don't like what you see, change the channel!!

No my wife did make some nasty comments, probably not the nicest thing, but she was upset. And Heather and the in laws read the comments and the war began.

Needless to say, Heather is not speaking to us! No one is coming to Thanksgiving or Tyler's birthday party and we do not get to see the boys anymore!!! Which breaks my heart.

But sadly, this all could have been resolved if our family would have just chosen us! We have been nurses for 25 years, and they know we can only do holidays on one day, what ever our schedule is. Just like the movie says..."Chose me, Pick me!!"

That is all we wanted.
