doesn't always bring it...especially in the case of children!!!!!
I just had to pass this along as it shocked me a bit...until I thought about it! Kids often yell help when they are playing games with other children and admit it, parents...we kind of ignore it b/c we assume it is part of a game. When we hear a bloodcurdling scream, well that evokes a different level of panic, but not necessarily does us hearing "help". I know that I do this when my girls are out in the yard as they often seem to play "adventure" games where someone has to be rescued and therefore inevitably yells "help" at least oh...a hundred times.
This was brought to my attention b/c we teach our children to yell help if there is a "stranger danger" instance.....but that wouldn't actually work if we are naturally tuning out "help" now would it? Certain safety professionals have suggested as of late to have your kids yell "fire" or "gun" or something that would actually gain attention of adults instead of the old standby "help". I thought I would pass it along because it made a lot of sense to me...and to alert you that if my girls ever yell fire or gun and they are with someone you don't know...they really do need your help!
As far as the cancer front....I am doing pretty well. It has been quiet around here and I have gotten lots of sleep, so except for the pesky nausea, which seems to be a bit stronger this round-but still effectively controlled with meds-all is well in K's world today:)
That and I have had some wonderful meals this week, delivered by angels from church, thank you so much it has been very nice. And not to worry Girl Scout sisters....I still plan on tapping you all for food during mastectomy recovery:P
I have also been devouring books again....which sometimes makes my brain spin way out of control but fortunately I have a wonderful man who keeps me grounded.
So....once again...enjoy this unbelievably nice cool weather before the dog days of August and I'm thinking Sept. too come back to haunt us around here....
Blog ya later-
K
