Worst Part of the Day - I realized that taking a break from the kiddos gave me HUGE perspective. IMP was such a difficult baby that I had not been able to shake that image from my head. It struck me that after leaving the two with my parents for four days and Erik for three days - that something was wrong with ME (I assumed both parties would be cranky, annoyed and tired, as I had been. And while I do it for longer - still it is marked to me when parents and husband are downright giddy about the experience.) So I realized that much of my frustrations were coming from ME. Yesterday was bliss and nothing had changed but my attitude. Wish I could have figured this out earlier ... but it's hard to see the forest for the trees at times (I think I finally understand that little cliche.) I know that it can be tough - but these kiddos are also pretty easy going and very FUN. Who knew?
Best Part of the Day - Seeing the kiddos and getting to hang out with them. Also had a fun St. Patty's Day dinner out with friends - very low key and fun stuff.
Erik's Worst Part of the Day - The Orthopod thinks he blew out his ACL (due to MRI results which others think are not as conclusive ... i.e. the radiologist and my dad)
Erik's BEST Part of the YEAR - HE PASSED HIS ORAL BOARDS!!!! Now he is Board Certified and no more tests for ten years. HOORRAAAYYY for Erik!

Congrats to Erik!!!! That is wonderful. On the other hand, so sorry about his knee.
After three months of solid crying it is hard to shake that image of IMP. So good for you to take a step away and see your beautiful babies in a new light!
Congrats to you AND Erik for your achievements!!!
That really is excellent!
