Poor Little Guy
Dear God, please make the itching end soon.
Lots of TV (which he loves), lots of oatmeal baths (which he likes), and lots of the pink stuff (which he hates).
In better news, Cash got his stitches removed today. How come he didn’t even flinch when they took the stitches out, yet he fights me like crazy every time I try to brush his teeth?
I am engrossed in the book The Kite Runner which my friend Julie recommended. It is breaking my heart. I just want to read more so there can be some redemption. At least I hope that happens because any good story has redemptive value. If nothing else, I am already finding more compassion and emotion inside myself than before starting to read this book, so that’s redemption enough at this point.
I am also very much in the grips of Richard Rohr’s thoughts in Everything Belongs. I really cannot write about it just yet. There is much more sinking in to be done first.
And last is the book I’m reading called The Magic of Chia. Sounds kind of like The Coconut Oil Miracle, doesn’t it? I am learning more and more about chia seed and look forward to adding it to our diet. I hope to post about chia sometime in the future, once I can get my thoughts together on it.
Does anyone mind that all I write about lately is the kids’ ailments and the books that are helping me survive?
Quick answer to the question you posed – don’t mind at all! But it is sad to see Bauer so uncomfortable.
When Tera and TJ had the CPox it was early summer so they could just run around in their underwear and a light t-shirt which really helped. So sorry you have to go through this. But more fun is on the way – I put a lego shipment in the mail today so you’ll have it soon. Will send a picture of Papa, when he was putting together the Fire Station later today!
Hi Ginger,
It’s Rebecca Johnson from Avalon 100 years ago. I wanted to comment and let you know how much I love reading and following your blog! I love to hear your book updates, as I love to read myself. I teach high school English just so I can try to show students how great reading can really be.
I wanted to comment on your posting about Kite Runner. It is one of my favorites of all time and I teach it to my students. I wanted to tell you that, if you love Kite Runner, you have to read A Thousand Splendid Suns, Housseni’s second novel, told from the persepctive of women in Afghanistan. It is wonderful, too.
Anyway, I know this is random, but my love is Kite Runner runs deep, so I was so happy to hear that you were reading it and hope you continue to enjoy it.
I hope you are doing well. Again, I love the blog!
Take Care,
Becca
