I am thrilled to welcome all my SITStahs to my teeny-tiny corner of the blog-o-sphere! I don't know you from Adam, but I can tell you I absolutely adore you for taking the time to stop by and explore my ludicrous life.
You know what's so wonderful about being a featured blogger on SITS? Well, in all honesty, there are many, but let me just focus on one...
It's all about me! And we, moms deserve every pat on the back that comes our way, don't we? {I see you nodding.}
And when is the last time, we, as busy mothers can say that?
Mother's Day? Be real. Even if you get breakfast in bed or a homemade card, you know the kitchen will still need some attention, or you'll find yourself vacuuming stray glitter from underneath the dining table.
Your birthday? Maybe, but if you home is full of teens like ours is, you might find yourself grounding one of your teens until they hit menopause. Instant joy kill right there.
Your anniversary? That would be nice, but it's a day I enjoy making it special for my husband and spending it with my family, even if our teens are over it and would rather be in their rooms IMing their friends. {Feel free to roll your eyes and sigh with me.} And God forbid you find yourself celebrating your first anniversary while visiting your new in-laws who live in another state... and in a DRY county. A big shout out to my BIL and his wife for making the trek across the state line in an effort to remedy the situation. After a week with not a bottle of pinot noir, a Bartles & James margarita flavored wine cooler never tasted so good.
Valentine's Day? No way... I put lots of work into making that day stand out. And no matter how much planning goes into my V Day, it is always under threat of being thwarted by my nemesis, the pager.
But being chosen to be a featured blogger on SITS? Now, that is a special day I can call mine!

I hope you enjoyed your time here with me and will stay to poke around a bit.
Leave me a comment and follow and I just know we'll be lifelong friends!

Happy SITS Day! I was laughing the entire way through your post. Enjoy the day - it truly is all about YOU today! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you'll visit again!
DeleteBig congrats on your SITS Day! : --- )
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's was amazing!
DeleteHi Emma, I love your voice - you're very funny! It's so nice to meet you from SITS. You are an excellent reminder that doctors are people too, with wives who have to pick up the slack when that darn pager goes off. Hope you meet lots of new friends today. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lynn! It's a challenge, but I wouldn't have it any other way. :)
DeleteSo...it's as exciting and wonderful and I imagined it would be! Maybe more:) Have a fabulous day!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You, too!
DeleteFound you on SITS. LOVE your blog! It's as good as watching Greys!!!
ReplyDeleteOmgoodness! I love Grey's.... even if it is completely inaccurate! ;)
DeleteHappy SITS day!! Your blog sounds exciting I'm about to go look around :)
ReplyDeleteLinda
Thank you! I hope you like it! :)
DeleteTrue! We, moms, don't often get a "me" day! ;) Enjoy yours!!! Happy SITS Day!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I enjoyed it very much!
DeleteHi! Happy SITS day! Looking forward to poking around your blog! And props to being a mom of 4 teens!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSo, so true! Enjoy this day that's just for you! I'm looking forward to reading more!
ReplyDeleteGreat! I hope you enjoy my blog :0)
DeleteHopping over from SITS! Congrats on your "me" day. :) Hope it goes amazingly for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by... I hope you enjoyed your visit!
DeleteCongratulations on your SITS day. I hope it's a great day for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was wonderful!
DeleteI was a stepmother once. It's not a job for the weary, that's for sure. My hat is off to you for making it work! Happy SITS Day!
ReplyDeleteYou're not kidding!!! Thank you for dropping by!
DeleteHappy SITS Day! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteYeah for you and SITS! I hope you enjoy basking in YOUR day:-) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how wonderful it's been!
DeleteHappy SITS day! I must say, that pic of the high heeled skeleton foot is making me re-think my sparkly Kate Spade's! (Clogs, anyone?)
ReplyDeleteI only wear them when I know I'll be sitting down for the majority of the evening. Otherwise, I'm praying the numbness sets in and I don't have to walk around too much. :(
DeleteHappy SITs day!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHappy SITS day. Watching my mother be a doctor's wife, and now being a doctor myself (with a doctor's husband) I love all your stories!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you'll follow along and join us for our once a month Medical Monday blog hop!!
DeleteCongrats on your SITS day! Enjoy the spotlight. You have my sympathy on step-mothering. I was one and did not enjoy a second of it. It is way tougher than most people realize.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I've been quite lucky with them... they are now just going through their terrible teen years... we've all been there.
DeleteHappy happy SITS day! Can I tell you how much I love the x-ray graphic of the foot on your page? LOVE!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you live a very busy--but super fulfilling--life. So very glad you have a day all your own to enjoy some blog comment love. I enjoyed stopping by here today. Also? What's a dry county. That doesn't REALLY exist, does it?!
Oh my word, but it does exist!!! I had no idea!!!
DeleteThanks for stopping by and your kind words. :)
Congrats on your SITS day and on keeping it together under all the stress! It seems like you have a very level head and a good sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't laugh, it will drive a person crazy bonkers!
DeleteHappy SITS day, enjoy YOUR day :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was fantastic!
DeleteHave a lovely SITS day
ReplyDeleteAwww! Thanks!
DeleteHappy SITS DAY!!! Enjoy YOUR special day. I don't think I could handle being a Dr's wife, see I am a jealous type and that pager would be my worst nightmare. More Power to Ya!
ReplyDeletePagers=Pure Evil ;o)
DeleteHappy SITS day! Wow I just LOVE your header. Seriously it is great! I work in a hospital as a SLP so know all about the dreaded pager. Thankfully I can leave mine at home.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you'll be back to join in on our once a month Medical Monday bloghop! ;)
DeleteLove your voice!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteThat header is EPIC!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Michelle at This Little Light designed it! She's the bomb!

Happy SITS Day! Look forward to exploring your blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you enjoyed your visit. :)
DeleteI agree -- none of those days can really be yours... Hope SITS day is all you dream of!
ReplyDeleteIt was crazy good!
DeleteYAY on your SITS day! Your blog title TOTALLY caught my eye!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear it. I hope you'll come back often!
DeleteHAPPY SITS DAY! Whew, I was exhausted just reading about all of things we as moms do. I think I need a nap. I hope you enjoy your happy day!!
ReplyDeleteFunny you say that, because I'm ALWAYS wishing for a nap!!
DeleteYou certainly deserved the SITS recognition after all the sacrifices of being a mom and wife. I'm very happy for you. I have 2 teenagers and two younger ones. It is a full-time job. I think I'll go to bed and cry for myself now. Hahaha!

Oh man. It's a journey, that's for sure! :)
DeleteHappy SITS day...a day you can call your own!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah!
DeleteHappy SITS day! You are so right--it kind of is the only day you get to really enjoy without having to cleanup afterwards :) Hope you have a great one!
ReplyDeleteIt's fantastic! You don't have to clean before OR after!!! :o)
DeleteHappy SITS Day!! You'd better enjoy it and make it all about YOU!! :)
ReplyDeleteI did! I did a whole lot of nothing. It was bliss! Haha!
DeleteOh congratulations on your SITS Day today! Good for you... you get a day that is yours-all-yours, that no one can claim.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is a trip! I LOVE the way you write. It's funny, I never gave any thought about my doctor's wives (and what they're like -- and what you go through). So thanks for sharing your perspective. Like I said, I've really enjoyed reading your blog.
Please excuse me... I have go. I have to go find out what happened in Part Two of your Doctor's Retirement Dinner post!
Thank you! It's a busy and crazy life. I admit I used to sit around waiting a lot. I gave up on that... :)
DeleteLove your voice - Happy SITS Day!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove it! Spoken like a true cynic - I know it well ;) You are quite right about all those special celebrations that are supposed to be for you, but always turn out to be about everyone else. I hope your SITS day is everything you wished for, and it truly is a day you can solely celebrate you!!
ReplyDeleteYou speak the truth!! I guess we can take solace in "it's the thought that counts". :o)
DeleteThat's a hilarious introduction. I wish I had read it before being disappointed by husband at every Valentines, mothers', and anniversary. Now, I know I'm not alone. i'm going to take a peek around you site, I'm sure I'll learn a thing or two. Happy SITS day!
ReplyDeleteOh, you are definitely NOT alone!!! Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteJust wanted to congratulate you on YOUR SITS Day. YOURS...ALL YOURS! And just a little aside, the teen years don't last, really they don't. Now for more exploring on your blog.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for these years to be over! Six more years... ;o)
DeleteHappy SITS Day, Emma! It feels great to swing by on your SITS Day :) Hope you're having a blast of a weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by! I'm having a great weekend!
DeleteHappy SITS day, that one day of your own! Makes me shiver to read the rest, as I'm a mommy to be. But I love your writing style, so I'll just jump right in!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by! Enjoy the younger years while they still WANT to hang out with you. ;)
DeleteYou are so cute! Congratulations on your day! Can wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHappy SITS Day!!! You had me at "mother's day". ;) I look forward to reading more! Cheers! ~S
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day! Love the Blog!!
