My little one (3 1/2) has been complaining of an ear ache the past two days....and we couldn't get into her pediatrician until this a.m. Well not exactly her doctor, but another doctor in the practice. This morning she woke saying her ear was blocked and she wanted to make it "good" again....as she was pulling on her left ear.
There is nothing worse as a parent than to have one of your kids suffering. She isn't keen on seeing the doctor so I'm not looking forward to going to the doctor's office today at all.

One of the boys
As I sit here contemplating this week's football picks for the pool I am in, I wonder why I'm even bothering? This year especially, I've been hit with a rash of "I don't care" syndrome...and when the picks were due, I wasn't in the mental frame of mind to get them done in a timely manner.
I've held my own in the past and have even been in the top ten, but this year....I hate to admit, I'm in the basement of the standings. Since this is our last week--I'm hoping against all hopes that I will score high enough to win a week and recoop my $35 entry fee. I certainly will not be in the top ten!
At least the Packers are in the playoffs....

Positive Mental Attitude
I remember my mother giving me a book her boss had given her back when I was in high school. The words "Positive Mental Attitude" were in the title somewhere. I need a dose of this PMA on a daily basis of late and I recall reading that book cover to cover. It didn't apply to me much at the time, but it certainly applied to my mom. And as we all shudder to realize as we get older--I've become my mother!
Last week, I listened to the Jean Chatzky radio program on XM radio and her guest that day was Mike Robbins. He talked about his book "Focus on the Good Stuff--The Power of Appreciation." None of the bookstores in town carried it so I will be ordering it today online. I can't wait for it to arrive! He was very motivating and when looking over his website on the book, there are several chapters that appeal to me.
I hope that I can apply his principles here at work. I'll keep you posted.
