Markham Momentum....

This week has been such a busy one for our family! Midterms have arrived, papers are due...the pressure is on! But life keeps right on going at full speed. Clusters of eye doctor appointments, doctor and dentist visits seemed to be clustered together this month for the 4 girls. My 15-yr old daughter Zoe's dental visit revealed that the 2 wisdom teeth on the bottom will need to be removed as soon as possible...this Wednesday morning to be exact. She was most fortunate never to have developed any wisdom teeth on the top at all! Hopefully her younger sisters will be so lucky too! Mariah (11) was discovered to be near-sighted and will getting her first pair of glasses this week....she took along a good friend to help her choose the frames that she likes. Happily, she is very excited about getting glasses because seeing the blackboard and anything from a distance has been difficult for her this year. Seeing better will be a tremendous relief for her! :) To top the week off...my husband had to go in for an emergency tooth extraction, which was quite painful for him (I did not envy him for a moment...poor guy!). But despite the many distractions, and thanks to good organization and attempting to do assignments as early as possible, I still managed to complete my first draft of my research paper ahead of schedule. I can truly say that I feel satisfied with my paper in every possible way and was pleasantly surprised with how comfortably the words flowed once I got going. It helped tremendously that the subject matter about nutrition in school lunches was one that ignited my curiosity and made me want to learn all I could about it! Now to see if others share my enthusiasm..... :)
