Sometimes I forget I have this blog, sitting here waiting for some attention like some forlorn middle child. I cannot believe we are in October. I still feel like it is summer (is it the weather?!) and that I am about to have a real break where I lay out and work out and get on top on the laundry for once in my married life. Oh, but now it is October. And people are decorating their yards with cobwebs and giant inflatable spiders. I'll come up to speed.
Ben had the Greater Houston City Amateur golf tournament this past weekend (a mere 72 holes in all) and has earned himself the spot of the 37th best golfer out of the 8 million or so people that live around these parts (or so I interpret his success). His parents came down for the weekend and indulged us in fine dining (might I endorse Coppa and Reef and of course Tiny Boxwoods) and quality time.
I have my Internal Medicine board exam next Friday so this blogging could go either of two ways: A) I could disappear until next Friday and then post excessively the following week about how much fun I am having and how much I am cooking during my week off (yes i have a whole week off after this rotation!! cheers!!!) or B) I could post excessively next week (which any and all of you should discourage) while I am going partially insane cramming for this exam. Of course there is always option C wherein I "accidentally" shop online and buy the perfect pair of shoes during my most stressful pre-test moment (which always turns out to be a good decision, thank you giant leather wedges preceding Step exam and leopard flats preceding Pediatrics). We shall see.
I am quite relieved at reading this post. I think it is my favorite. It is good to know that other wives out there have a laundry mound monster. I was starting to feel like a "bad" wife because this monster will not leave our house!! I too find myself accidentally shopping and then immediately close the webpage so I will not perform impulse buys that will later make me feel regretful. Good luck on your exam! How exciting about new shoes too :)
ReplyDeleteI think I now reply almost every post. Good luck with the exams but something tells me you will do fine. I think one day you should print every page of your blog and save it for your kids as a book! Call it Grace under fire - both a book of medicine and cooking - have a great week
