Good morning Lodge.

I have been at work for 10 minutes and I am already exhausted.
Did I get to work 1.5 hours after start time? yes, but that was expected as it was my turn to drop of the little one at daycare. 45 minutes of "I don't want to go to school". Yeah, well mommy doesn't want to go to work either. She woke up on her own, so I thought it'd be easier this morning, I wouldn't have a tired child. No, just a tearful child. I feel bad handing a crying 3 year old off to the teacher, but not bad enough to keep the crying kid home from school.

We dealt with that briefly. Then I told lil that if he was so tired and cranky in the morning we stop TV at night (because it was over stimulating) and keep backing up his bedtime until we got it right and he woke up cheerful, ready to go to school. Ha. Lasted 2 days. Then he explained to me he was CHEERFUL and ready to go to school. We 'tried' the new time for a few days, then added TV back to 'see if it made a difference'.

Good Evening Lodge!

Oh, I am stealing this tactic.

So NaSK talked through this with the little girl last night (I didn't get home until after she was asleep).
This morning she was in good spirits. Picked out her clothes, brushed her teeth, had breakfast. When it got time to leave home I could see her fighting back tears. She was trying so hard to be strong, it was a little heart breaking. The fighting back tears continued on the car ride. When we got to school the tears broke free. Teacher grabbed her hand and led her into the room.
A huge improvement over the 45 minutes of crying last time.
 
Good morning Lodge. Going to my first Red Sox game of the season this afternoon. I did not know when I made plans that it was an afternoon game today. Checked my calendar and thankfully I do not have any meetings. Told my manager I'm taking a 1/2 day but I'm not going to record it because during the three vacation days I took for Tampa I would up working close to a full day so I'm going to consider this a wash.

It is tough. We found a really great book when lilnsl was lil. It talks about how you can like school but still miss being at home. How it is OK to have mixed feelings about going somewhere. We still use some of the phrases we read inthe book and lilnsl is now 27!!!

This works on adults too. Specifically me. My wife pulls this out on me every so often :-D
 
Started the beginning of the end with my dental implant. It was "exposure" day! Meaning the surgeon exposed the implant so my dentist can get a mold and produce the permanent fake tooth. Calling my dentist later today to make the appointment for the mold to be made. I cannot wait for this to be over. It's a little sore right now, the novocain is wearing off. Hopefully I can wear my temporary fake tooth while I wait.
