non-picture post

a post without pictures? I haven't done that in AGES, but i'm stranded here at work, and it is 1 a.m. and i have no access to pictures. i haven't really taken too many recently anway, because i have been back to working like a resident this week! I have been stuck at work until after 6 p.m. all week for various, frustrating reasons, and this weekend i work the night shift Fri, Sat, Sun, so it's back to the good ol' days.

Recent Little Girl news is that pacifiers are now a thing of the past. it has not gone well. the first night we tried it was super smooth, and we thought it was going to be easy, but i think they were just really tired. they also didn't realize that they were saying goodbye to the "pacies" forever. there has been a lot of crying going on. But with Juneau's second birthday around the corner (Literally!) we decided the time had finally arrived. They only ever use their pacifiers at bed/nap time, and it is rather pitiful without them.

Juneau turns the big TWO on Monday! that is the day we are flying to Ohio, so we probably will not do a lot that day, but we have a little birthday party planned for her in Ohio (more details to come!)

i guess that's about all for my mini-photoless-update. we are so very very looking forward to seeing all of our family this week! It seems like AGES since we were back in Ohio, and it is going to be so great to get to see everyone. We are also looking forward to completing our travel in the matter of a few hours instead of a whole day on the airplane with 2 toddlers.

oh, the other annoying thing that happened this week at work is that due to hospital rennovations there is no longer a "call room", which means that if there is nothing exciting going on (like now) my only option for sleeping is on the floor in my office. I have a handy "nap mat", but it's just kind of crazy that there isn't a place in the hospital to stash a bed. oh well, i am off to catch some zzz's on the office floor :) I'm not so sure life outside of residency is all it was cracked up to be!
