Medical Monday {January Edition}

Let's start this 2013 of with a BANG!

It's the first Monday of the month, so it's...

Medical Monday!
{listen to the roaring applause!}

Did you have a great New Year's? Or was yours a dud, thanks to hospital scheduling or the untimely beep of a pager? We've all had that experience, haven't we? No, not yet? Oh, Honey, you're young and just beginning your journey! It's a comin'... just wait.  But the good news is that the light at the end of the tunnel is quite bright. You get to pay your bills on-time, and loosen the purse strings. No more robbing Peter to pay Paul. 

We have been vacationing at our future retirement home this past week. By the time Medical Monday begins, we will be back home and Doc H will be back in the hospital, and some of our kids will be back in school. Life will be returning to normal. 

And honestly? That sounds good to me. 

If you're new to my blog, I welcome you and invite you to poke around! Here are a few of my favorite posts:
