yesterday

Yesterday was horrible. Wow. From the minute the kids woke up to the minute they went to bed. The highlight was when I left them at a friends house for 2 hours while I test drove some minivans...though that wasn't much better. I ended up having to LITERALLY RUN out of the place b/c they were trying to suck me in and I did NOT want what they had to offer. This week has been stressful for 3 reasons
1. the kids have been going to bed late and waking up at the usual time--CRANKY
2. my parents are coming in to town tomorrow and my house was sooo torn apart I could barely think
3. I'm trying to test drive and purchase a van with 3 kids in tow... not fun

so... now...
1. the kids are still asleep and it's past their normal wake up time--HOORAY
2. my downstairs is CLEAN and now I just have to do the upstairs (and my car)
3. I found a van! If this one doesn't work out then I'm done til Svend gets home, but I'm REALLY REALLY REALLLLLLLLY hoping this is it! SO that said, I'm off the computer when the kids wake up b/c I'm no longer doing internet car searches--WAHOOO!!!

Today I have parent-teacher conferences for both kiddos. Should be interesting. Babygirl is struggling and Bugs is getting bullied...so this will be a BLAST! :P

Then, I promised the kids the Jelly-Belly factory tour...then Sweet's nap...then Bug's best friend is coming over! I can't wait for that one. We don't get to see them that much b/c their mom works from home..so we are never on the same schedule. Bugs has been begging for weeks to see this little boy so we're all excited! Somewhere in this day I will clean my room and all the toilets!

Babygirl came in my room this morning around 4am just sobbing. She'd had a nightmare. So sad. These are the moments I love being a mom--the rescuer. I hope I can be better at rescuing my children and better at not being the all-powerful mom. Welp, sounds like Sweet's teeth just woke her up... yay! :P today will be good. ... :) right?!?!?!?!?

Why single?

I remember being engaged and thinking "I can't wait til we're married and we can be together ALL the time." A married friend of mine said "yeah right. We see eachother less now." I didn't believe her :) Well, one month after graduation, babygirl came along. Hubby had a crappy job and didn't get any days off. Luckly she was born on a Sunday. We lived away from any family and dealt for a few days til help arrived. (more like cried and ate toast while never putting down a nursing baby). More school for hubby and Bugs came along. Hubby's don't get maternity leave when they're students...so again we dealt for a few days until help arrived. Moved onto Grad school. Took hubby to carpool every morning @ 6am and picked him up at 5:30pm. Dinner and kids in bed by 6:30 then studying til 10pm. Got a second car (hooray!) which allowed the kids to stay up later and sleep in...thus getting to see daddy more. 3rd year of grad school brought Sweets with it. Hubby got my text to meet me at the hospital. Left school and came over. Back at school the next day. No tears. Lots of help with friends this time :) And family arrived before I was even discharged! Baby #4 came 2 months before graduation…and shortly after we learned we did not match. ..so no job or place to go. we made it though-as you will see. Our caboose arrived at the beginning of our last year in residency. I started this blog when just 3 were at home. It's been a place for me to vent, rejoice, and basically be honest and real with out situation and that of many other students/residents/beginning doctors. Now are in our first year of our career and already we have seen several lows…but we keep chugging forward…and I'm happy to report, I'm not so single any more!
