Indeed, I've been in a lull. I'm just about ready to give up being anonymous--it's kind of cramping my style. So the three of you who check this blog may find out who I really am shortly...if you didn't already know....and just to warn you, I'm in a random-stream-of-thought mood tonight.

probably what I'll be doing alot of in the next year... |
Today I told my hubby, the doctor, the doctor's wife's husband, whatever you'd like to think of him as, that when he was in medical school, I knew my life would forever involve him taking call, quite frequently. What I wasn't prepared for back then is that this doctor's life would also include tons of traveling days. Not every doctor follows this path, but he has, and I'm happy for him. In fact, he just got promoted to a very important position in the ob/gyn world, and I couldn't be more proud. He deserves it, totally.
What does all this mean? A good career move for him: a wonderful opportunity to influence people and policy. And for me? Lots of time as a single mom. Come on, let's be honest. In the fall it's likely he will be gone every weekend for 6-7 weeks in a row. Nice.
So, if you do know me, and want to see me, the fall would be a wonderful time...I'll be lonely by then, I'm sure, and very ready for adult conversation.
I hear your ambivalence. I know you are so happy for him but at the same time sad for the time that he will be away. And then I'm sure you're dealing with "not trying to be sad because you should really just be happy for him and then being mad at yourself for your feelings b/c they feel selfish-"
ReplyDeleteAnd I would be happy to see you in the fall although before that would be even better! :)
I am so thankful for the things you are sharing - I have been so encouraged and challenged.
