Piece of cake!

I seriously feel sooo renewed after that tax return. Holy cow. It is amazing though how fast it can dwindle when you pay off car repairs...and buy a new computer... :) but we have a REAL savings account and I just feel so good. I pray it stays that way!!! On top of that, the baby I will be babysitting was born yesterday...so 6 weeks from now we'll have some more extra income (for the 1-2 months that we're still here). Let the count down begin!

And..I've just completed day 9 of p90x... (thanks to a student that worked with Svend!) . WAHOO!... 81 more days to go :) not to mention I have pretty much weaned my baby (1 feeding a day!) onto formula!! I am paying for the formula...but I got it 1/2 price at dominicks and she's 10 months old...so it should be that much more I have to buy! And somehow I lost 10lbs between Christmas and now... double WAHOO! 17 more to go!

Okay...we can do this!

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!
