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.

    Had to get Alyson’s hair cut today. We discovered a huge chunk of gum in her hair. Peanut butter was not going to do the trick! Fortunately, there’s a new haircut place (salon? shop? whatever) that’s having this big special to get people in the door. She had about two inches chopped off, and she…

    Hopefully your mind will be all crystal clear by tomorrow. Call me if you need help- I’ll be home all evening. That question caught me by surprise too, but I’m glad you told me to read those other essays. I wrote him a big old essay about deVeaux and thompson.
