How to know if your child's illness or injury is really an emergency

Evening Reading

Here’s a shot of my Sunday. One of my many New Years resolutions (most of which fizzled out in about 3 days) was to read more of the crap, I mean educational material, that comes my way. Here is a photo. You must flip your computer upside down now, or assume a yoga pose. The absolute limit of my technical ability was uploading an image. I’m fully aware that it’s upside down. Hush. Anyway.

I’d like you to notice a couple of things. Firstly, see how Eva is developmentally appropriate with her scribbling? I only had to pull the pen out of her mouth 400 times. And if you blow the image up, you’ll see that I’m reading about the Common Cold, and I’m not lying when I say that kids have colds all winter long.

But pay special attention to the right middle paragraph. When I felt it was necessary to grab the pen from Eva and scrawl, “DUH!” across the page. Can you guys believe that adults who live with small children suffer from more frequent colds than adults?! Really?! I’m shocked. So glad I put down my Martha Stewart for this one…
