I am grateful for friends

who not only care enough to have concern, but care enough to take the next step and call...then take another step and surprise me at my hardest time of day...bedtime with the kids. Grateful.

well, so waking up at 4am proved productive. However, at 1:30 I had already put Sweets down for a nap and Babygirl was at school...so I convinced Bugs to come up and take a nap.. we slept...and slept...and I finally woke up... and have 15 minutes to get to the bus stop for BabyGirl! AHH! But man it was nice to all just crash!!!!
We ate a snack and then went to see Santa and make a craft. That was fun. We got home and the doorbell rang. My friend! YAY!!! (especially since it wasn't some crazy person!). I don't know what I enjoyed most... the fact that my kid were taken care of or watching my caffinated friend wrestly my kids! :) It was actually a good end to the day. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I finished most of hubby's christmas present...good b/c this was really my last night to do it... without him home...well, possibly tomorrow I can get some stuff done. I like it. Anyways, tomorrow... store.home.clean.BROTHER AND SIL in town!! WAHOOO!!! Can't wait to see them!

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!
