commuting almost two hours to the medical center for three days in a row because my local clinic doesn’t have enough patients. training to help out in other areas of the hospital like pre-op and radiation. unplugging from the computer for a whole day except to google “diep surgery” and “t&a surgery” to fill out consent forms. getting extremely stressed out by the work uncertainty and being really grumpy as a result. frantically texting my mom asking for prayers because I don’t feel like I can even muster the energy to get through the bedtime routine, let alone face another day. administering antibiotics to Liam for an ear infection. giving myself a break from cooking in order to gain a…

Genius: okay, so Meredith still sleeps in bed with us at night. It’s always a struggle to actually get the lights off without screams and cries. The other night I was so tired that I really needed to sleep (aka every night but especially this one) but she NEEDED to change her baby doll’s diaper. We have this handheld light (not exactly a flashlight, more like a camping light) that is actually David’s but she had confiscated to play with.

Genius: Listening to my gut on Wednesday and taking Liam back to the doctor even though he had just been there on Monday. Turns out he has asthma and now we have much better treatment for it. I’m hoping he’ll be looking much better by next week. Fail: Well the morning I documented last week felt like one big fail! But also, we are struggling with dinners for Meredith. Right now I am cooking mostly paleo, but Meredith doesn’t want to eat just meat and veggies. But if she doesn’t eat, she gets suuuper cranky. And I also don’t want to cook her something different every night. I don’t want that to be the norm. Any ideas? Currently: administering breathing treatments. elbow-deep…
