Christopher is studying for the 2nd grade Eiken Test at the moment. One of the words that came up was eccentric. This word comes from Greek and means out of the center. This describes my kids to the T. They' re all eccentric to one degree or another. David, my 2nd son, will come up to me and say the strangest things, the other day he said "Did you know that if cats eat dog food they go blind" then he walked away! This comment came out of no where, he didn't wait for a reply or to start a conversation on feeding cats, he just said his piece and left. Of course that leaves me with my head spinning with question "How do people know this, do they feed cats dog food to see what happens, how can you tell that a cat is blind and how can you tell it is blind because of what it ate/ And why in the great order of things is this important and how does David know such useless information?" David wants to study Buddhism next year and dreams of travelling to India. Even that is not really normal. Why don't my kids dream of having normal jobs? Mikey is trying to become a professional magican, Christopher wants to be a writer. Hannah's dream is to be a teacher, which is normal enough but she is possessed by the story of 'The Phantom of the Opera' she has gone through 3 DVDs of the musical, has read the book 5 times and watched the other movie versions of the story, yep eccentric!
And allergies are bad, VERY BAD. I can't stop sneezing and snuffling, my eyes are teary and itchy and I feel totally miserable. This drives me crazy, the weather has cooled down enough to get somethings done but then I get sick, every year this happens!!!
