I suddenly have grey hairs, lots of them. Does one, at this point, consider dying the hair. Should I go short and curly...just get it over with? Honestly, I don't mind getting older because I don't really feel like I am getting older. Mentally, I feel pretty much the same way I felt when I was in my teens, and it is much easier to be mentally me now than it was to be mentally me then. Physically, I am just droopier. Everything is a little droopier including my cheeks (both sets), my belly, my knees (how does that happen?), and the bottom of my arms. I hate to sound like I am complaining, but what on earth is the universe's purpose in making us droop as we age? Now, in addition to drooping and getting grey hairs, I woke up this morning with a pimple on my chin. Where is the justice in that? Once a person notices 30-40 grey hairs on her head and distinctively droopy skin all over, she should not be expected to go through the adolescent ritual of trying to hide a pimple, really. Nevertheless, today, I went into my high school (as a teacher, granted) drooping slightly, grey and brown hair in a pony tail (woke up late), and cover up slathered over the very obvious pimple on my chin. Such is life.
News:
Scotty has an ear infection. He can't seem to get totally well this winter, and it makes me feel very helpless. Plus, the doctors keep giving him more antibiotics, and I worry that he will be immune to them by the time he is 10. What did people do to help their sick children before antibiotics? One of my goals is to do more research about and implementation of holistic health practices for prevention and eventually for treatment.
Greg had our bathroom painted pretty fall sky on a football Sunday blue. It is very serene and also energizing. I like it, but it makes me miss the ocean for some reason. Maybe I am just missing the ocean.
Last week, families logged in between Sept. 29 and Oct. 13 of 2005 were referred their children. Our agency received referrals for 81 children (6 boys!). We have been logged in for almost one month. I am thinking we are one month down and 29 to go! We'll just have to wait and see though.
