Why I didn't sleep last night

On Sunday, Child #3 got poked in the eye during a water polo game. Starting yesterday afternoon, his pupils were different sizes. The poked eye is noticeably more dilated. We have an ophthalmology appointment today. Not to mention, he also has swimmer's ear. Bilaterally. The kid is falling apart at the seams. Well, at least from the neck up.

There's an new crack in our driveway. From all the recent quakes? Does it make sense to live in an area rattled by earthquakes? With zero advance warning? People here will often say we're safe; it's not that big a deal; it's not worth worrying over. Then again, over 2,000 passengers boarded the Titanic, believing they were safe.



And I forgot to tell you that I guest blogged for Random House Canada on Today's Parent about how to get your teens to read over the summer. Here's the link: A Mother's Plea to Her Teens--Pick Up a Book

Insomnia sucks. But, hopefully, I'll be so tired by the time my head hits the pillow tonight that I'll sleep like a log. In the meantime . . . yawn.
