One of my docs talks so fast she can literally say a couple of sentences in one second. It is fairly common for her to do 10- and 15-second MRIs.

Not even mentioning the one we call "the auctioneer..."

Had enough of this BS.

I don't even know how to spell it--that's fancy stuff right there!  I usually eat weeners and ramen!  I actually cooked a little roast beef and taters for the first time in MONTHS tonight!  I could eat better if I dumped my critters, but then for me, what would be the point of doing what I do?

It's hard, no doubt about it.  We have married friends back in Mass who TAKE HOME $75,000 each and each have excellent bennies. BUT, they live in a house they never get to LIVE in and they never sit down together to eat...always eat separately on the run. They've got a gorgeous yard that they hire someone else to take care of.  It's whacked...they've got a gourmet kitchen and NEVER USE IT!  When they want to take a vacation, guess where they come?  To my place here in the boonies!  How messed up is that?! 

We only get one go 'round (or at least that's what I believe anyway) and we are the choices we make.  I'm thankful I've been able to make the choices I have.  I just happen to choose the beef-flavored ramen over the chicken one, and the smell of grass and manure over asphalt and exhaust.    

Does anyone have any info on this?  Is it a good way to make some extra money?  I said NO, he decided to do it anyway.

So consequently, cooking falls to me and cleaning the house falls to me.  My husband helps, but let's be honest husbands can sometimes be as needy as the kids.

Minnie, do you hear yourself?  You have a housekeeper, your husband cooks, your kids are grown.  That's great for you.  It sounds like you work because you want to and that's great again, but most of work because we have to.  We don't have a choice and we have to find a way to make money and be a good mom and a good wife all at the same time.  It's hard.  My kids are a priority and my paycheck is a priority, but if one of my kids wants to sit down and talk to me for a few minutes, then I'm going to listen.  If that makes me unprofessional, then I guess I am.

That doesn't mean I don't get upset with my kids when they interrupt me for silly things.  I do and they know when I'm mad, but that isn't going to stop them from doing it again, because they are, after all, just kids and what is important to them, may not seem important to me, but it IS important nevertheless.  No, I don't have them trained like dogs with the wave of my hand, but they're good kids and I am eternally grateful that I can take them and pick them up from school and I always know where they're at and what they are doing and when they'll be home.  I'm not calling from an in-office job wondering why my kids are answering the phone.  I know their teachers and friends and friends' parents.  Sure, my production may slip from time to time, but I've learned to adapt and I'm willing to sacrifice for what I view is the best reason to be an MT right now.

Got any places not too expensive where I can get food to go.  To go is the key.  Bored with McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, delivery pizza.  (Boston Market?)

 Thanks.

This recipe is from pre-crockpot era.

Double wrap the roast in foil.  Poke holes in the foil with a fork and put the roast with the poked holes side down on the broiler pan.  Bake at 350 according to the size of the roast per pound.  Very yummy and very easy. Pan drippings make the best gravy.

Wait, I think it was from the barefoot contessa show, I saw her do that but not in a crockpot. 

(We are looking for a place to buy chickens locally as I still believe no animal has to suffer for me, smile!)

Just because I am lazy, is that recipe already posted here, can I do a search to find it? 

Thank you everyone!

you've forgotten your own words! Your post above is 100% different "flavor" to it, now all positive and cheery! Your first post was 100% doom and gloom every which way, including "raining on your parade", and "if you want to go forward"...God, sounds like she's talking about jumping into oncoming traffic! Here is your quote:

My first boss (the one who hired me as a new grad) gave me some words of wisdom that I haven't forgotten. She said that transcribing at home with small children NEVER works under any circumstance. Either the work will suffer or the parenting will suffer.

****

How can the word "NEVER" in caps be interpreted in any positive way? You took about 8 paragraphs to cover every aspect and completely dash this poor woman's dream.  I'm not blind, I'm not talking about day care at all, I'm talking about the total negativity of your original post! You know exactly what I'm talking about, cause you added some sugar to your second version! And that's much nicer than the first!
