the ups and downs of motherhood....

i know i have said it before and i'll probably say it again, but being a mother is sooooo hard...one minute everything is just fine and then you have 1 sick kid and another one causing troubles at school....

emma has the yuckies again with goopy eyes and yucky nose and a very rattly cough that is a little bit in her chest but as of right now no ear infection....let's hope it clear up on its own this time and we can avoid giving her the antiobiotic....
nick was doing great at school - less hitting/pushing/etc and much better behavior at home - listening and following directions....now yesterday he pushed another child into part of the playground structure and the little boy had to have a tooth pulled because it went up into his gums and may have to have another one pulled too if it doesn't go back to normal on its own - luckily they are baby teeth, but seriously....i don't want my kid hurting another child, even by accident....i think it is time to have him evaluated to see what is up, if he is ADD or ADHD or whatever other letter combo might fit him...i don't want to medicate but if i can gain insight into what he is doing and why than that has to be helpful, right??????

i don't know what else to do at this point.....get help and figure it out from there i guess....
