Moving on…Tuesday

My kid pooped a garden hose last night. Bethany and I were both surprised that this little person could poop so much… but I guess when you hold it for up to a week… well, you get my point.

Tonight I am taking Delaney to a “Daddy and Me Night”… sponsored by her preschool. It should be lots of fun and I’m excited to spend some quality time w/ the kid. Last night, Delaney and I had about 5 minutes cuddling on the couch before it was bedtime. I think the moment was ruined when I said, “Delaney, I love you”… and she replied, “I love you so much Daddy… I have boogers”… yeah, that was special. I’ll post some pics of our date night.

#kidwontpoop

Driving to work this morning, I was thinking of today’s blog post… nothing came to mind. And this was particularly odd, because I had a very eventful and full weekend. I helped out with the International Service Projects at CBU on Friday night and then again on Sunday morning…. It was the annual Intensive Training Weekend, so it was fun to watch college students get wide-eyed from all the confusion, stimulus, and shock of a different culture. I really do miss the experience of servicing on a team… but I know that now is not my time.

Madness occurred again w/ the kid, but God-sized prayers helped! I couldn’t believe that I was praying all Saturday day and night for my kid to poop successfully. Now… every time I twitter or blog about a kid poop situation, I really don’t think people get it. I get comments like, “try activia yogurt” or “mirilax”… HELLO PEOPLE! IT’S ALL IN HER HEAD! It’s a control issue… the one thing she can control is her poops… and (I think) she does this out of stress or simple need for something to control in her life…. your guess is as good as mine. But she pooped on Sunday, and we’ll be anxious to see when the cycle begins again.

That’s all for now… lots to do today.

Shakespeare

My 9th graders started the “Romeo and Juliet” unit today… and we’re doing pre-activities w/ Shakespeare’s history and life. I’ve already had to talk w/ some students about the Bard’s sexuality…. Boo. I can’t believe these guys jump on the fact that Will wrote sonnets to dukes and kings and being to call out very ignorant and degrading names. This is an educational fight I hate having.

Alien…

Early Morning Thursday Thoughts…

Even w/ medication, why is my ankle still hurting?

Will I be able to go climbing today?

Who owns the movie District 9, so I can borrow it?

Is my faith really genuine? 2 Corinthians 13:5

Will I be able to help my seniors pay for the AP Lit Exam?

I wonder if my kid will poop today?
