We've hit the half way mark for summer (based on CCISD school calendar!). I had hoped to do a lot more things with the kids (as usual) but (as usual) time gets away from me and not much happens. I think the kids have had a good vacation so far. Just being able to stay up later and sleep in is vacation enough for them! And me too for that matter!!
I feel less stressed this semester and see what life can and will be like once I finish school next August (2012)! My classes are easy and I barely have cracked a book plus clinic is going well and you learn based on what comes through the door. So, while I could be following up some more on certain patient situations and reviewing, I really have been taking advantage of my down time and doing NOTHING. It feels really good. I'm looking forward to life after 5 years of grad school.
I've nearly got my schedule set for the fall. I've done my part as far as requesting clinic days and so on but, with the big number of interns right now, we may have to have a lottery for the days everyone wants so I may get pushed to another day. We shall see how that all works out, hopefully this week. I like to have my schedule set well in advance. It makes me feel less stressed.
C and the kids take off next week on their train trip to NY. They are all excited about it. I can't get away for that long so I'm staying behind. Things finally came together this past weekend so I could make arrangements to fly up one weekend while they are there. I'm looking forward to having the house to myself and also being able to see the family too! The best of both worlds.
I'll post a few pics of the kids next. They both recently had their birthday parties and we spent a fun afternoon last week doing the museum/downtown Houston rounds.
Happy rest of the summer to all! Enjoy!
O b-day party cookie. I bought trick candles that kept relighting. It was hysterical! The kids all loved it.
Coming home 4th of July weekend. I think Brody was more tired that the rest of us!
