Hi!
I hate writing intros, but here goes.
I'm a 32 year old homeschooling mother of 3 (6, 4, 2). Oh yeah...and I'm the wife to a 3rd year medical student who was on his way to being a biology teacher when we got married. And I don't feel quite as "lucky" as people tell me I should.
In 7 1/2 years we've had about as many stressors as you can pile on a marriage: including (But not limited to) moving 7 times (thanks to education and army), a child diagnosed with cancer (in the same month dh was accepted to medical school), and starting medical school.
Reading the little I have on this forum I'm relieved to see that marriages can and do survive medical training. There are days I've been sure I'm the only person who has so many frustrating days :badday:
It isn't all bad, though. Well, truth be told...I feel something like this:
Really proud of dh
Really irritated at dh
Really overwhelmed with my life
Really empowered by my life
Really in love with my dh
Really wondering how I ever got married to this selfish jerk in the first place
Really excited for the future
Really terrified of the future
...And all that just since lunch
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and having a place to maybe say it like it is
