So, anyone who has children can probably relate to the fact that, as a parent, we spend a great majority of our time worrying about what we should be doing for our children. Is he getting enough sleep? Is he getting enough to drink in a day? Does he get enough protein? Is he happy? Is he bored? Things like that. I often think to myself that I SHOULD be reading to him more. I SHOULD be singing to him more. I SHOULD be teaching him his ABCs, his body parts, his colors, animals, vehicles...etc. But then I pause, take a breath and realize he is only 1.
Turn now to my trip to Subway to grab some supper for Sonny and I last night. I come out and across the street is Redhawk Liquor. As I am walking to get in my car, I see this guy walking to go into the liquor store...and...he is carrying a small child. I shake my head as I get in my car. I think to myself, "Where are this guy's ethics?" And then I further thought, "I obviously spend too much time worrying about the things that I am doing for my son, but should be doing more. But at least, I don't think that it's okay to take him into liquor store."
If there are any parents who can relate, or that feel taking your kid to the liquor store is okay, please let me know.
In other news...
I have started my part of the lose weight by Christmas. I started the first day of teacher workshop, and as of yesterday, I have lost 4.4 pounds in 10 days. That's pretty sweet. I was pretty excited about that.
