Exposure therapy and croup, again?!!

After I published my last post the other day I glanced at the computer and realized I'd made a silly typo (I think I wrote managed instead of manage). I momentarily panicked, hoping no one had seen my embarrassing error and I was just about to edit it when the computer shut down because the battery was dead. I was in a rush trying to get some things done and as I hurried off to find the power cord I realized something pretty profound...who cares if I make a typo! What's the worst that could happen from leaving it there--someone who reads my blog thinks I have bad grammar?

So rather than taking the time to fix it when I already had 101 more important things to do I decided to PURPOSEFULLY leave it there. It was a little exposure therapy to prove to myself that I can make mistakes, even put them out there publicly, and still be okay. Other people don't judge us the way we judge ourselves. In fact, I actually like being around people who are comfortable enough to make mistakes and not always try to cover them up. It makes them real, genuine, approachable, and it's refreshing! So here's to being okay with my less than perfect blog posts!

On another note, Johnny has croup AGAIN! He had it a couple weeks before Hannah was born and it was pretty miserable, but I think this go-round may be even worse. The doctor told us he has borderline asthma (which I'm hoping he'll grow out of) because when he get's sick his breathing get's really labored and it sounds like he's suffocating. Poor kid has been waking up for hours every night feeling so horrible and uncomfortable. I'm hoping tonight will be better and not worse because I'm pretty wasted after getting no sleep the last two nights. Thankfully I am on a little adventure with the kids (more on that later) and I've got some great people around to help out!
