Whoo-hooo!  Why can&#8217;t preschool be every day?  Just because I didn&#8217;t sign up for such a thing?  Oh yeah. . . <\/p>\n<p>I was a little irked by one of the moms.  She has a little girl, but had been the carpool driver for a little boy in Erik&#8217;s class.  The boy was totally hyped up and started telling Erik that Erik smelled bad.  Erik HATES to be told he stinks.  Tell him anything else and he can take a teasing, but tell him he stinks and he freaks out and starts crying.<\/p>\n<p>He was really frustrated and kept telling the boy &#8220;I tooked a shower last night! I don&#8217;t stink!&#8221;  When I realized he was getting wound up, I told him to tell the boy that the boy was stinky.  You gotta be able to take it and dish it out, right?  I suppose some mothers would have tried to make it a moral lesson about being nice, but I&#8217;m not some mothers.  I think it&#8217;s important that a kid learn the give and take of teasing.<\/p>\n<p>Erik started calling the kid a stinker and the kid was calling him a stinker back and they were laughing merrily along, while the other mother looked on in horror and told the kid that he shouldn&#8217;t call people names and was glaring at me for letting Erik do it with impunity.<\/p>\n<p>Blah.  Sometimes I want to live in a bubble.  Except I really like getting out and being social.  Except when I&#8217;m grouchy.  Which is all the time.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I went down to Joann&#8217;s after I dropped Erik off at school and got the two things I needed for Elsa&#8217;s paper doll quilt.  Maybe I can even get started tomorrow!  It would be a small miracle if I did an actual quilting project.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, poor Mike seems to be sick so I haven&#8217;t seen much of him today.  He came home and went straight to bed.  I am hoping he just ate something bad and doesn&#8217;t really have the stomach flu.  We have tickets for the George Strait\/Reba concert on Friday.  We can&#8217;t be puking our guts out!  <\/p>\n<p>I have my glucose test tomorrow.  I&#8217;m a little nervous since I am in a high risk group for GD.  At least it won&#8217;t be the ordeal it was when I was having Erik.  The new practice scoffed when I asked if I had to go in an hour early to drink the drink under their supervision.  They told me they don&#8217;t want a bunch of people hanging around the waiting room for no reason.  Smart people.  I have the drink and will swill it down in the privacy of my own home.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sort of wondering if I should call Erik&#8217;s ped and ask for a seasonal flu shot for him.  He hasn&#8217;t had any flu vaccinations because I kept waiting for him to get the swine flu vaccine, but then it was never available.  Is it too late? Should I forget it? Or should I give them a call? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preschool today. Whoo-hooo! Why can&#8217;t preschool be every day?
