Severine...how you doing girl? Your trip out west looked awesome!! Hope things are looking brighter for you. :)
I could certainly be better. But that's the way it goes, sometimes.

The sky is looking awfully dark outside. I may have to cancel my walk/run I was planning on in a couple of hours. :sad: At least I had a walk in the woods with the kids already today.

I agree with whoever said that the funk is probably because of coming back from a trip.
I always feel madly depressed after a long vacation. I don't get that "Ah, I had a long vacation. Now I'm refreshed, relaxed, and can go back to work". I'm refreshed while I'm on vacation and wish I could stay there - coming back to reality and work makes me grouchy, depressed and sometimes just pissed... I need at least a week to acclimatize back to the rat race.

Haha...sounds familiar. My 15 yr old wants to become an OMFS..already looking into colleges and shit for him. He even spoke to OMFS residents and attendings at my hospital to see if he could come in to "observe" procedures and whatnot. Hes already been exposed to some of it when he was doing his community service on unit. I thouht the sight of my suctioning the blood and shit from someones wired mouth would turn him off from it, but lookis like im going to be shelling out LOTS of money for med school!!

Hey, all he has to look forward to is 4 years of college for the B.S. or B.A., then 4 years of dental school for the D.M.D. or D.D.S.(same thing just a turf war between which d-school confers the degree)and then depending on the type of OMFS residency either 4 more years if it's just an OMFS certificate program (less common nowadays especially in the Northeast) or the more common 6 year OMFS residency where he'd get an M.D. in addition to the OMFS certificate.

Then after all that schooling/training he'd spend his days doing what most OMFS's do, taking out teeth ;)

On the flip side, a few years into practice he should be taking YOU on ski trips anyplace you want to go with that OMFS $$ he'll most likely be making ;)

Getting ready for a college student who's coming into to the office this afternoon to observe becuase for some crazy reason he thinks he wants to be a dentist :rolleyes:

I'm just trying to decide what degree of wackiness I should be while he's here! ;)

Just got in from a 2 mile-ish walk/jog. :D I didn't jog more than about 1/3 of it total, but I can already see what they mean by "runner's high." :D

Mt biking was good today, got lost for a bit so it turned into a bit longer ride than planned. Knee didn't bother me at all. Now gonna fold some laundry and watch Lost.

That must be a great feeling! I, too, was surprised that my knee was fine with both MTB and the bit of jogging I did today. :D

Right now, relaxing. I haven't done that in a while. TV is tuned in to The Office (which I haven't watched TV in weeks). Trying to enjoy the peace I'm feeling tonight.

You know she's really just going skiing. ;)

I WAS asleep but the boy woke me up from a beautifully sound sleep. 4th time since he went to bed at 7:45PM. :(

Given the small size of the suitcase she had with her, I'm about 99.9% sure that she didn't have her skis in there ;)

I here you with the kid wake up, my oldest thought that it would be fun to start the day at 4:55 this AM :eek: and my youngest I'm debating whether it's allergies or the start of a cold, but his nose was running like a faucet last night which had him waking up and coughing fairly regularly all last night

as a result, I'm currently STILL waiting for my morning caffiene loading to kick in - my regular caffination recipe just doesn't have quite enough horsepower this AM :(

Still waiting for the caffiene to kick in, I'm off to get the 3rd caffination installment poured into my cup right now, and this dreary weather this AM definately isn't helping either!

Listening to you guys I feel lucky. My oldest 4 1/2, if she wakes up early we just ask her to play in her room until we get up. And the youngest, 19 months, sleeps soundly from 8 pm to 7am unless he's sick. He's often happy to hang out in his crib for a bit before demanding attention when he does get up before us.

That's my kids 98 out of 100 nights. Last night just happened to be one of the "other 2"

My youngest has actually started getting better with sleeping over the last couple of weeks. (My oldest sleeps great and has since she was 6 months old.) But I think he has a cold. He woke up about 8 times before I gave up and just took him to bed with me. And even after that, he woke up a couple times. :roll:

Right now, I'm eating a bowl of cereal.

Hmmm, I'm getting ready to go to an auction to bid on a dirtbike for my husband.
He needs another dirtbike in his quiver of 4(5 if I get this one):-o

Oh, that's right, one for ice, one for checking the farm fields, one for the trails, one for the track, ..................you get the idea.
