day one...

of grade school, middle school, high school, college, teaching, medical school, residency...my smartypants husband started his Residency today and I couldn't be more proud, teary-eyed, and lonely. In so many ways I can't believe this day is finally here. He is Dr. C today complete with his scrubs, pager {now officially flipped "on"}, degree, new post-initials, early morning routine, and responsibilities. Speaking of early morning routine...I tried to send hubby off in style this morning with one of these...I mean...I cringed when he wanted to take his lunch in a plastic grocery sack. He chuckled and soon realized I was serious...I even offered my Texan the cow print. How can he resist. Well he did...so at the wee hours of 5:30AM this morning as I was trying not to see cross.eyed and finishing up his pb&j sandwich and feeling guilty that as a work.at.home wife I couldn't provide more nutrition for my doctor husband's lunch...I sure did send him off with a crooked smile, crossed eyes, and a plastic bagged lunch...I did include a little tlc when I slipped in a note. Hope it makes him smile and not blush when he reads it around his new doctor peeps.
