Blah, Blah, Blah...

Brian is taking his boards (again) this Friday. Yes- it has been a stressful week in this house. At least he only has to take them every few years. He has about 15 DVD's that are all review for the boards, and they are all about 3 hours each. So, my job this week and most of last week was to keep the girls quiet and away from him while he is watching these DVDs. Much to my dismay, he has decided that he could more easily watch them after the girls go to bed-which is normally our TV-watching together time. Anyone who knows him knows that he is very needy and hates to be alone. (Totally opposite of me.) So, lucky for me- after we watched Idol tonight (yes, I love David Archewhatever, but I hope Michael Johns stays on for a while- I have a crush. Something to do with his accent, and I've always had a weak spot for tennis players.....) Anyway- after Idol, Brian decided to watch the pediatric dermatology review DVD. Goody for me that he can't be alone and begged for me to sit on the couch and "play on the computer" while he watches it. I swear, these DVD's have to be the most boring things I have listened to since my Chemistry teacher at Clemson. I want to cry. If I had to watch all of these, I would be on the news for going crazy and sniper shooting people from a bell tower somewhere afterwards. I try to watch some of them and after a few minutes I find myself wondering what I am going to do with my hair tommorrow or thinking of where I misplaced my good lipstick. Or, like a couple of nights ago, I wake myself up snoring or jumping in my sleep. This is complete torture! Poor Brian, he is so nervous about taking the boards, too. I truly would say that he is one of the most knowledgeable doctors I have ever met. Not just because I married him- he really knows an amazing amount of stuff. (Granted- he has the common sense of a goat, but you can't have everything....) So, I will be glad when Friday afternoon comes. His friends have decided to be nice and they called tonight and said they wanted to take him out Friday night to celebrate the boards being over. (They are such girls.) Oh, well- only a couple more days until then. Maybe we will both survive........
