Yuck. I am sick of being sick. The left side of my head feels like it could explode at any second and my throat feels like I swallowed a Brillo pad. Guess it's off to the Dr. for me tomorrow. Have I ever mentioned that I hate going to the doctor? Yeah, well, I do. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. I have a fear of the sphygmomanometer. Weird, huh? Needles don't bother me at all. Pain? I can take it. Sight of my own blood? No biggie. Black cuff squeezing my arm until I can feel my heart beat in my bicep? Totally freaky. Just one more little tidbit of Jana info I am sure you were dying to know.
Well, other than my general feeling of yuckiness, it's been a pretty good week. Yesterday Randy promoted the kids to yellow belt. They were so excited. I am astonished at how much they have learned and improved. Today we had a conference with Hallie's teacher and received her first report card. All A's!!! Very high A's, in fact. Most importantly, though, her teacher really bragged on Hallie's sweet demeanor and good behavior. I try to stress daily to my kids that doing their best in their work is very important, but being kind and loving is the most important thing they can do. What's that cliche? People will forget what you say and what you do, but they will never forget how you make them feel. Cliche or not, I believe that.
Well, I think I will go get under my blankie and take a couple of Motrin. I'll let you know if I survive my doctor appointment ;)
