I am working this weekend, but tomorrow and Friday I have taken as vacation. It’s a good thing, because I have hit a critical point at work. I know I need to make some choices soon abut whether I can maintain my current schedule. I’m not quite at the quitting point, yet. But I can see it from where I am, so I have set up some meetings with the hospital muckity-mucks. I am hopeful that they will listen to what I have to say. My patients, my staff, my daughter and my husband deserve more from me.

My mother gave me a spa certificate for my birthday five months ago, and tomorrow is my appointment. I am going to have a manicure, pedicure and paraffin treatment and from there I am planning on visiting a nearby yarn store. I may even go to a bookstore and/or coffee shop. I feel so stinking guilty for planning to spend time away from Josie, and really, really excited for the luxury of a day to myself at the same time. Being this neurotic is hard work.

Speaking of Josie, you may have noticed that she kinda sorta looks exactly like Tim. Except, guess what? That’s me, at her age. It’s odd that she can look so much like both of us, at the same time. Now I’m worried that Tim and I are one of those creepy "ew, they could be siblings" couples.

My daughter is like that. Which ever one of us she is standing next to is who people tell her she looks exactly like. It's so funny. When she is with both of us then people think it's more like me (but I think it is because we have brown eyes/brown hair and the husband has blue eyes/blond hair), but really she does resemble both of us.

Josie is just adorable and your picture is pretty cute too!

!!!!!!!
As I scrolled down, I thought, "Oh! Another Josie picture!" until I got to the adult person portion of the picture. That's uncanny.

Our first daughter is a 50/50 blend of DH and I, but the second one was born bearing no resemblance to either of us that we could see for the first few days. It's developing over time. I also find it fun to watch how the resemblances change with age - I didn't look a thing like my mother until late adolescence.

I'm glad you're looking into options that will hopefully relieve some of the pressure you're under, or at least get it to more manageble levels. Still thinking of you over here!

When I first saw that picture a couple of months ago, I thought you guys could pass for twins.

Haven't been here in a while. Sorry to hear that you're struggling. It's so hard to balance everything. TAke it from me, your body will start to rebel if you aren't kind to your soul and physical health. As if you need to know that...hang in there. You're prob. doing so much better than you think!

Inspiration I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand & the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that.
