Awww, I remember the “drop-the-book-on-the-floor” game!

I think I remember being such a toddler. One time I opened the door. What child locks are for I guess.

I want to make sure you haven’t missed this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_viuM_sEOOU (the eventual outcome of this behavior if it persists).

There is only Now.

No doubt you get your own custom version of the ‘Silly distracted grownup, why can’t you keep up?’ look. There are many excellent answers to that look, none of which seem to fly with those who can give it.

I’m kind of in the same spot. Letting go of “how can I get back to what I’m supposed to, what I expected, my acceptable ambitions” and focusing on starting real stuff here and now that might get me back to some big stuff eventually. I’ve tried that about a million times and this time it’s working, for the moment.

I am also very anxious, in waves. The other morning I was like, “why am I anxious? Because I’m fine and I have a clear day ahead of me with good plans for doing good stuff”. Arg.

I had a student this week do this to me. (The deliberate disobedience thing, not the diaper thing). He even told me, “I’m talking, not facing the right way, most teachers would be screaming at me.” I asked if that meant he wanted to be screamed at. He declined, but still didn’t turn around or stop talking. Its so funny it kills me, because he knows what he *should* be doing, but isn’t doing it. So I called home instead.

The problem with not doing your grocery shopping while you’re hungry is that seeing all the beautiful food at the grocery store always makes me hungry, even if I’ve just eaten.
