Night Lights
Dr. Cason on Oct 10th 2008
There was a time long ago when I came alive at night. Then I became a doctor. Then I had kids. And now night time is when I sleep. Except now I have joined the full time working moms of this world- for the next few weeks. It’s bronchiolitis season and the clinic is bustling. [...]
Bali Cooking School and a Tightness in My Tummy AKA Just Why Am I Doing This?
Dr. Cason on Oct 9th 2008
Flickr is flickering and fluttering like a struggling flame to upload my photos and I feel a tightness in my stomach. I have the photos all ready and I’ve promised to talk more of the Bali cooking school. But I can’t because I am depending on a program that isn’t functioning right. Or at least [...]
Children Learn What They Live
Dr. Cason on Oct 5th 2008
Have you seen this yet? I’m constantly working on keeping a calm voice, a firm stance yet loving tone. It’s tough especially when multitasking and managing three kids that demand your attention. But it’s worth it to try. If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn. If children live with hostility, they learn to [...]
He’s Anemic
Dr. Cason on Oct 1st 2008
He’s anemic. And not just a little but a lot. I started crying when I found out- No surprise there! You know what that means right? It means I’m not crazy. It means he is pale. And I can treat it. Oh happy days…
I’m Looking for the Positive
Dr. Cason on Sep 29th 2008
You are looking for the positive. You see it in glimpses Through the tears. And the tears keep coming. Through the night. You wake up and cry through the shower, through the drive to work and God help you sporadically through the office. You choke back the tears when they ask you how he is. [...]
Balance
Dr. Cason on Sep 28th 2008
I’m writing this a few days ahead because it’s my birthday weekend and I refuse to sit on the computer when I could be connecting in real life. Little Miss Blue eyes is home sick from school.Yep. The GI bug crossed to her! Sorry baby. Feeling better right now. Cried this morning and wrote a [...]
Happy Birthday to My Twin
Dr. Cason on Sep 27th 2008
It’s my Twin’s birthday today. Mine was yesterday. Being in Guam means that for the first time in our lives we celebrate our birthdays on separate days. Or maybe I should just think that we celebrate it twice. I always knew I was a twin and proud of it. We don’t look so much alike [...]
Happy Birthday to Me
Dr. Cason on Sep 26th 2008
I’m writing this early. I’ll be celebrating tomorrow. Enjoying the family. I still feel like I’m 12 years old. Insecure and bumbling about. But I’m not. 12 that this is. And then the right mood hits, the vitamins or maybe the extra sleep kicks in and I’m happy and confident. I used to wish over [...]
A Flat Tire and Drinking Tea with Neil Young’s Out on the Weekend
Dr. Cason on Sep 25th 2008
The rain poured out of the sky heavily, drenching and obscuring everything in it’s path. With the littlest two in the car we cruised down a few houses down to pick up Little Miss Blue Eyes at her bus stop. Bumpity Bump Bump. Bumpity Bump Bump. Uh Oh. That didn’t sound right. “Stay right here, [...]
First Grade Open House and Santa Claus
Dr. Cason on Sep 17th 2008
Just home from open house. Met up with the infamous Mrs. X. Loved her. I don’t know what I was worried about. She was warm and friendly and very informative. And of course she had such nice things to say about my little girl. I mean how can you not like a person who showers [...]
