Today was randomly hectic and quiet. I did get a bunch of personal and work items done but most of the day I just felt super-tired. And tonight I am going out so I don’t expect tomorrow’s going to be much better. But I had moments of pure joy, like this one.
And this one.
And of course, this one!
Right before we had to leave to get David, there was a flurry of urgent work stuff, as there often seems to be. And then his bus was late and then I had to rush to the dentist and I came home to not having snapped one single photo of David so I asked for one:
And then we chatted while Nathaniel ate his meatballs.
David said he had to sit at a table all lunch today cause he spit at a boy. Then he said it was like sticking his tongue out or whatever. I got really mad and reprimanded him harshly and I am hoping this was the only time. It does not make me happy but he seemed genuinely sad so I let it go.
The kids are finally in bed and I am about to rush out to meet book club friends. I noticed today that my schedule/routine/life works really well as long as I don’t leave the house…
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for an awesome email this morning, some happy crafty news!
2. I am grateful that I got some of the items on my list done and got some work done!
3. I am grateful for Glee tonight!!!!

Hi Karen,
Two quick comments; First of all, I LOVE that picture of David! Forget smiling, he looks so perfect just like that! 🙂
Regarding the spitting, I feel like that’s the most important thing kids learn in the first year of school–how to relate to each other. Spitting is inappropriate for sure, but I bet that he wouldn’t dare try that in front of you. Now he’s done it, and now he knows that the consequences aren’t good. He probably won’t do it again, but there are so many things you want to teach them that they really have to learn and experience for themselves!
Have a great day!
I think you’re right and David’s learning a lot about what’s ok and what’s not. but it’s hard to watch. 🙂
