comes at you fast sometimes.

I’ve got my two youngest kids sick with hand, foot, and mouth disease (lovely!).  Fever, ulcers in the mouth, miserable…  And Caleb threw up in the parking lot at the doctor’s office.  In a wipe box.  It’s all I had available.

And Jacob’s having trouble in school.  And he’s way too smart and too good to be having trouble in school.  It creates angst in me.  And I cannot rest until it is resolved…which may be never, but that doesn’t seem like an option right now.  I research, and make phone calls.  I talk to teachers (present and former).  I talk to my mom…3 times a day, because she’s his Nana and she’s an educator.  And I meet with friends who have had similar experiences.  And I’m reading about education philosophies, and even about home schooling.  And I pray.  And read.  And read and pray.  He’s my child.  And you do whatever it takes to make things RIGHT when it’s your child.

And Derek’s going out of town tomorrow. 

Parenting is hard.  But it’s the best job I’ve ever had.
