Today we found out Paul has an ear infection. This is so disappointing because it means that we’ve again missed it as parents. We’ve known he was sick but just never saw it as an ear infection. If he hadn’t gotten puffy eyes, we would have never even taken him to the doctor! Poor kid.
Megan had a good day at school. Not that we were stressed out over it, but we were a little disappointed in the parent/teacher conference we had at school last week. The teacher said that Megan needs to express herself more verbally instead of just whinning. That hit us hard. We knew it. We were aware of it. But we just allowed it to continue. After spending the last week saying “use your words, tell us what you want” it seems to have paid off.
I am saying this for the first time this holiday season. I hate Christmas. Not the day Jesus was born, but the thing it has become. The consumerism of it all sickens me. If I hear “I need” one more time… I’ll puke. As if want and need weren’t two different words!
I desperately need to work on my last research paper for my grad class. I am mad at myself for not doing it. I wonder if this procrastination is a sign that I secretly don’t want to be a student anymore. But then again, this isn’t one of those narcisistic blogs… so I won’t get into it!
