temper, temper
I have lost my temper several times today. Jane and I had a battle of wills and sad to say I won. Threats and coercion. I can't seem to solve my parenting problems without them. I am very frustrated. I ask you, we believe agency is the most precious thing in the universe. If this is so, do we give our children agency to choose what they will? They will not accept the consequences which usually have to created.
I actually spent about an hour doing dishes this morning. I let them pile up. Luckily, I had a movie I could watch while washing them. You don't think that lengthened washing time?
Tonight's my night off. I haven't really had one in a few weeks. I'm not sure what to do. I guess I can always go to barns and noble and read.
Oh my gosh. I just realized that I am not allowed to eat or drink after midnight tonight because of surgery tomorrow. But my surgery is not until 3 pm! I am going to be starving. Guess I better eat, drink and be merry tonight for tomorrow who knows what will come.
I am hungry. Gonna eat now.
By the way, does anyone know how to change the time that is posted with the posts? Mine is completely off.

she's sick
I always know when my kids are sick. They first get sluggish, then glassy-eyed, and finally they sleep. We were about to go out the door to church yesterday when Jane said, "My tummy hurts." So, we get undressed and Jane spends all day on the couch with a fever. This morning she vomited. Low-grade fever. Late morning she was happy and fine. We go to get Ethan and the park and she deteriorated. High temperature. We barely made it home. I so wanted her to be well by tomorrow so she could go on the field trip.
Lara, I'll take anything you can give me to make scouts more bearable. Every time I have to miss scouts or it is vacation I get soooo happy. I am counting down the days till summer vacation. No scouts till the fall. The majority of people leave the city during the summer so no scouts to have pack meetings. [because there are so few scouts all the dens are combined each week, thus the pack meetings.]
Tice, I have a great cookie recipe. It is the recipe for Neiman Marcus cookies and as a result makes about 100 cookies. I just make it when I have to bring cookies to a function. If you want it I'll type it up for you. I'm not a big cookie fan but I love these.
We finally have an appointment with the social worker who is going to schedule the speech and language and psychological testing on Jane. Hopefully by the end of the month the testing will be finished. Then we have to decide what to do with her after the results are in. I still am clueless as to what to do.
