#49 Contacts and Glasses

While I got the scripts a while back, I forgot to update here. I have new glasses and I love wearing contacts now. My eyes are even less dry than they were before (see previous post about eye appointment) since I'm wearing the 2 week lenses and using Clear Care contact solution. I'm even wearing my contacts pretty often these days since the weather has finally decided to be nice to us here in Southeast Alaska. YAY for contacts and regular sunglasses!

#32 Read The Birth Order Book

This was such an informative book - and Dr. Leman is even funny! I learned so much, not only about myself, but about my siblings and my children. He gives advice on parenting and also letting loose (for those perfectionist types - though I don't know any of those). Ahem.

Anyway. Before I get struck down right now, I want to say that I highly recommend this book. It took a long time to read b/c I was trying to take everything in (not to mention the two kids who demand time so reading while this kind of book while they are awake is next to impossible) and start applying things to my life.

I can't say I'm less stressed or less perfectionistic, but I can say I am learning to loosen up some and I've noticed a difference in how I react to my children. For instance, when I ask the kids to wipe their face after dinner and they do, I don't need to wipe it off after them to get all the stuff they missed. It's not really hurting anything and they'll be getting a bath soon anyway. I don't need to go behind them and fix everything they have already done. Remind me of this as the kids get older, okay? Thanks.
