Finals, bleh

One down, one to go.

I feel pretty good about the OTI test. I was a little surprised about one of the short answer questions. I guess he wanted to keep us honest about reading the material listed in the syllabus. I know I read it, but I read three or four other articles that day, too. I don’t think I wrote about the right article. Oh well.

So much for another 100%

Greek is freaking me out! I know I’m supposed to come out of this fog one day, but I need to now, since the cumulative final is tomorrow. Some of this stuff just isn’t sticking. I feel like this test can only hurt my grade. That’s not the most comforting feeling in the world!

On a side note, it is snowing right now. Alyson really wants to go outside and play. I might let her after her nap. Then we could have hot chocolate. Too bad we don’t have a fireplace.

On second thought, a fireplace would be a very bad idea. Alyson still has absolutely no fear whatsoever. Every time I talk on the phone, she proceedes to do something she knows she’s not allowed to do – and I’m less likely to be able to stop her if I’m distracted by the phone. While I was on the phone yesterday, she climbed up the back of our recliner and stood on the very top of the back cushion.

Then she jumped!

She came about 4 inches from missing the seat cushion and landing on the floor (I think it’s concrete with carpeting). She got up and began climbing again, excited about her new-found game to play. I had visions of running to the emergency room with my daughter’s broken tailbone. Fortunately I stopped her before she managed to complete the jump. Actually, she jumped right into my arm as I still had the phone in my other hand. Imagine what she would do with a roaring fire while one of us is on the phone!whew!

I said earlier that the Christian walk was a roller coaster. No one bothered to tell me parenting was a roller coaster, too!

Maybe they need to give out airsick bags when they discharge you and your newborn from the maternity ward.
