Spring Means Sandals

March 21, 2019 CrankygiraffeLeave a comment

Today is the first day of Spring. Therefore, spring is here whether we want it or not. Let me be clear on this point: I want it here... Badly. I’m not sure if “Nature” wants it here, though. In this part of the world, spring weather is crazy and unpredictable. Regardless, when Spring is here,… Continue reading Spring Means Sandals

7:00 - "Mommy, I'm awake!" (E.) 7:10 - "Mommy, I'm cleaning the shower" (In the shower, with his owl, a hand towel, and a spray bottle) Spray. Spray. Spray. Spray... outside of the shower... 7:20 - "Now I'm cleaning the carpet, Mommy." Okay.  I'm out of bed. 7:25 - Back in bed... with child... watching… Continue reading Happy Friday

What Was I Thinking?

February 10, 2015February 9, 2015 Crankygiraffe12 Comments

One Thousand Kilometers? Where did I get such a crazy idea???  I am 5 weeks into the year and I'm supposed to be running about 20Km a week if I want to stay on track for the goal.  My total this far: 28Km.  Talk about lazy (or busy, maybe)!  But still... If I want to… Continue reading What Was I Thinking?

Confessions of a Stressed Out Mommy

May 14, 2014June 3, 2014 Crankygiraffe11 Comments

Let me start by saying that I love my kids... at least I'm pretty sure I do.But, when I wake up in the morning to someone screaming because someone else hit them, I just wish that I could go back to the days of hitting the snooze button 3 times before rolling out of bed.… Continue reading Confessions of a Stressed Out Mommy

Medical School

5 Days. 5 Cities. 5 Interviews.

February 1, 2014May 30, 2014 Crankygiraffe3 Comments

Where I live, all post graduate medical programs hold their residency interviews in a three week period. My medical school gives us the full three weeks off of clinical duties to alleviate the stress of all the travelling and planning for interviews.  A while back, when I submitted my applications, I made the decision to… Continue reading 5 Days. 5 Cities. 5 Interviews.

Blogger Friends Got Ideas!

Yesterday, after my Alter Ego, Cranky Giraffe, posted about my son’s crazy little love letter to his newest idol, Lady Gaga, an old old blogging friend tweeted it, with an idea that maybe he could meet her!  I know the likelihood of it being re-tweeted by anyone other than myself is pretty low… But who […]

It’s Been a Long Time…

“It’s been a long time since I came around Been a long time but I’m back in town And this time I’m not leaving without you” ~Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) I know I haven’t been here blogging for quite a long time (almost a year and a half…), but there was something about blogging that […]

The Common Sense Problem

The airplane seat map shows that the emergency exit row seats are considered “less desirable.” It’s a little ironic since they come with extra leg room, even if they don’t recline (really, who needs to recline 2 inches when you have two extra feet of leg room?). I think the real reason they are less […]

Walking Tall

This month I’m traveling around the country to check out fellowship positions. It is exhausting, trying, lonely, and often confusing. Most of all, I miss my kids. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how fellowship and moving to one of these places would fit into the current, ideal, little life of […]

Happiness, Please

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that, but simply growth.  We are happy when we are growing. ~John Butler Yeats, 1909 Is there a difference between pleasure and happiness?
