I Try To Convince Jaslyn NOT To Go To School Again

Jaslyn recovered from her fever last Friday, but it came back yesterday. I told her this morning that she could skip school if she wanted to. She insisted that she wanted to go to school, and nothing would change her mind. Think this is the only stage of a child's life where the parent and her could have this conversation:

Parent: "Why don’t you stay at home and sleep? If you do that, I will buy you a present."

Child: "No, I want to go to school!"

Jason started being able to hold his head up when you put him on his tummy about a week back. He would then drool happily and leave puddles of saliva on the bed/couch.

Been feeling a bit blue lately... Think it's all the stress from work, the mundane routine of everyday and the lack of focus/purpose in life. Perhaps it's very early mid-life crisis: when you are in your thirties and it hits you that your career is going nowhere, you have mortgage loans to pay-off and 2 children to care for. Guess it's time to seriously think about what I want to do in life...
