Topic #1: Wine
New favorite chardonnay: Cakebread
Topic #2: Whining
Marc is definitely in a whining phase right now and it is KILLING me! I don't want to know how many times a day I have to get him to repeat something "in his big-boy voice". After about the 3rd time that day, I no longer am patiently asking him to repeat whatever it is that he wants. I'm sure it comes across as more of a growl, but my goodness, it is painful to hear a child whine so much! Any suggestions for how to deal with this???
Topic #3: Stress
The summer months for a school teacher are supposed to be relaxing and calm-I mean, this is what we work so hard for during the school year. This summer has been anything but. From being gone from our house for over 3 weeks now and traveling abroad with two small children in an already dramatic vacation to anxiously waiting for Dad to come home on leave, I think this has been the most hectic and stressful summer I've ever had! This stress unfortunately makes topic #2 more difficult to deal with and topic #1 occasionally makes topics #2 and #3 more bearable. In any case, I wish for the rest of the summer that we are able to live stress-free and only focus on the fun that is left in the 37 days I have left before school starts once again.
May God bless you and keep you.
Countdown:
Jeff's R&R: 16 days
Back to work: 37 days
