Try me in a couple of years.<br /><br />Julie - Okay - I'm using "At least he's not eating bleach" as my new mantra.<br /><br />lil Gluckstern - Thanks for stopping by. I hope you like the book. Please let me know if you do!<br /><br />Susan - thanks for having me here. It sounds like our editors and agents would get along great. And I am amazed at how much more fun I have writing when I say "What the heck."Joelle Charbonneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608552691748018256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-16190685892281519062011-02-03T17:00:16.710-05:002011-02-03T17:00:16.710-05:00Joelle, thanks so much for being part of the Gang ...Joelle, thanks so much for being part of the Gang today! Love your post, even though I'm not a parent (well, we have three kids with fur coats and four feet!). I would be freaking out, too, so I sympathize. I can definitely say that I'm a perfectionist with my books, but good things do happen when you let loose. I'm having the most fun and greatest challenge with my latest (trying to finish up revisions now!), and it's something I might not have even tried except for saying, "Should I go for it? What the heck!" And my editor and agents went, "Woo hoo!"Susan McBridehttp://SusanMcBride.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-66715507877483964412011-02-03T16:28:16.497-05:002011-02-03T16:28:16.497-05:00As the others said, bumps and bruises are part of ...As the others said, bumps and bruises are part of the trip. The important thing is that you all enjoy life, instead of planning every minute. Given your post, I'm going to check out your book.

We were older parents, in fact I was a Geriatric Prima Gravidas (whee!), when our first was born. We were a bit overzealous. When number two came along as a surprise, and we had two to keep track of things eased off in a hurry. With him- I catch him doing things and simply say, "Okay fine. Don't break your head." With our first now- she flips out over minor injuries, and I catch myself repeating my dad- "Is it bleeding? Do you need to go to the doctor? Should we take you to the hospital?" She giggles, and it's over.<br /><br />The bruises on the heads are a given right now. Relax. Better yet, go outside and bruise yourself while playing hard. It's good for the soul.<br /><br />And remember, at least he's not eating bleach.Juliehttp://jasummerell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-20322535858393401872011-02-03T12:07:15.874-05:002011-02-03T12:07:15.874-05:00Worst parent?

I wouldn't recall that he had an adverse reaction to it until he was vomiting it back up EVERY TIME. I swear, he was twelve before I just stopped buying it, poor kid. <br /><br />Also, I do not remember his friends names, his phone number, or his preference for spinach over brussels sprouts, but who cares about all that as long as his college registrations get paid up on time! Enjoy your boy and don't parent him to death. He'll be fine.Beki @ The Good Girlhttp://www.bekikernsadkins.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-27287265574256650382011-02-03T11:53:48.730-05:002011-02-03T11:53:48.730-05:00Things happen with kids.

Don't blame yourself. #5 had to be taken to the emergency room on the average of every 4 months, this was from the time he was a baby and all through high school. Always something different from sickness to accidents.<br /><br />MarilynMarilyn Meredith a.k.a. F. M.

Really. I do not believe it is my responsibly to entertain my child 24/7/365. I ignore my child regularly, and he has developed the ability to entertain himself. Occasionally by removing the drapes and tying them around the dog, but still. He's self-entertaining!Sarah M. Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058833643184375985noreply@blogger.com
