The new city nowhere near compares to the old one. People think it's awesome that there are great places within driving distance to visit. That doesn't mean squat when you have kids to entertain every day in a rental house filled with ants that you cannot contain or get rid of. DH keeps telling me it will be better when we are in our own. home. Maybe that will be the case. But it doesn't stop me from feeling homesick and frustrated.

So sad. I'm so sorry. And right there with you!

I wish I could get rid of the ants for you.

DH's college roomie sent a group text to us and our immediate circle of friends about "getting together, it's been far too long." It will be ignored because his bitch of a wife hasn't acknowledged my pregnancy to either one of us. I hope they pick a date where I am not available.

Yesterday was the kids' first swim lessons (rave!), but I completely forgot to put sunscreen on my back and shoulders. And we were there for 2 hours! Ouch...

At least I seem to have covered them well.

I'm at a different building today and the pumping rooms here are disgusting. Pigs. Days of spilled milk on the desk and chairs. Good God.

Absolutely have a small bug that is making me feel like junk. I HATE being sick; turns me into a total bitch. Good thing he's on call tonight.

So far, rotations are turning out to be what I'm SURE I can expect residency to be like at least a little bit in terms of time commitment and my husband totally checking out of our relationship/never hearing from him/him being totally and completely preoccupied when he's home...and guess what? I hate it. I am not happy. At all.

^Don't worry, not all of them are bad. And when they get to the month of stuff they are interested in, it is awesome for everyone. It was like floating on clouds during the Rads month.

See, I'm not sure about that now, ST. This is just Neuro and he's not interested in Neuro but he's still really into reading research and cases etc. in his spare time. Schedule wise, Neuro is predictable, but he's still super distracted. I am actually dreading internal medicine because the hours will be worse and he'll be going at it even harder. He wants honors and excellent evals in as many rotations as possible but especially IM so I am actually really not looking forward to it. I understand, appreciate, and support his ambition...but he's seemed to hit his stride in testing (this past year was pretty much flawless for him academically and he killed Step 1) and the clinical side of it has been his strength from the beginning so it's like his ambition has ballooned into this all-consuming monster. Part of it is that he wants as impressive and impeccable an application as possible for the match, but a lot of it is I think he's actually having a lot of fun and I love that for him, I really do, but it's consuming him and I don't see it getting better. If it's not a service he's interested in/excited about, it will be the horrible hours/schedule.

This has not been my week so I may be projecting - I have a tendency to do that - but right now I don't have confidence that we'll find a balance. In fact I expect it to get worse.

I consider myself pretty tough, but I am so done with poop problems/sewage line issues/potty training.

It doesn't necessarily gross me out, I'm just tired of it. It is NOT easy to potty train a child while someone is scoping your sewer line, and the toilet is making sucking/roaring noises.

DS is doing well, but when he has an accident, it's always before I've even had my coffee, and it's always poop. In multiple rooms, on multiple surfaces.

Heck, today I've had at least 4 conversations about my sewer line, a few in person, while my son is running through the house pant-less, telling me he needs me to read to him so he can poop.

No more!

Oh no. I just realized you can't drink. Crap (pun intended).

[HouseofWool]

Oh honey -- I'll have a drink on your behalf tonight.
