Yesterday my daughter got shot
three times.
My husband and dad keep pointing out that I really need to reread my posts before hitting publish. Which I do, but usually it’s very late in the evening. So there’s the occasional grammar or spelling error that slips by. It’s amazing how just one letter can change the meaning of your entire post.
Point in case. When I wrote this post I said:
–I learned that 2 year old boys can be complete angles! (which I’ve since change)
You know, like a triangle, an acute or obtuse angle. What about a right angle? I also made this mistake years ago as I left lesson plans for a substitute. I told her that my class was a bunch of “complete angles.” For the rest of the year my students walked around making angles above their heads. You gotta love fourth grader’s humor!
Anyway. My point is that I am not the greatest editor. And I am no grammar queen. Most days I can’t even spell the word ‘grammar’ correctly. My eyes often defy me and I don’t see the errors of my way.
Don’t hate me for this! Just know that I’m a hurried mom of two toddlers trying to do twelve things at once.
Oh, and what I meant at the beginning of the post is that yesterday eClaire and I went to the doctor’s office and she got shots. Three of them. It was her 16 month appointment.

Typos schmypos. We all do it. And sometimes an angle is better than a devil.
Poor eClaire. I hate appointments with shots.

Most of my posts have typos. That’s why people keep reading me. Just kidding.
I am a terrible editor. In fact, I’m so impulsive that I hit publish before even re-reading what I’ve written half the time.

LOL! Oh, you are not alone!
I can’t even tell you how many times I publish, fix mistake, publish, fix another mistake, publish, fi.…well, you get the idea.
I hope eClaire is feeling better!
