if only

so we're still dealing with K and his hitting. i have of course turned to ol' reliable internet for some ideas, all of which we've been doing already. i guess it just takes time. lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of time.
did you know that the "reason" for toddlers hitting is because:

"he is curious about other people. He has limited language and experience, so rather than walking up to someone and saying, "Excuse me. Can I play with you?," he shows his interest by smacking them."

i had to laugh a bit at "showing interest by smacking them". the visual was just too funny and reminded me of an eddie izzard (british comedian) skit. i doubt that k is showing interest by hitting me, though. if that were the case, i'd be the most popular person in the world! ha!

if only that approach would work in the business world. i could show some employers i'm interested by going up and smacking them as though i were saying, "hey! i want to work for you." (WACK!)

on that note, my resume appears to be working. last week i had a call back within 24 hours of submitting it and today i got a call back for a position that i applied for yesterday. i haven't gotten past the first interview, though, so that sucks. i'm preparing as well as i can and jotting down any new questions that come up so i'm prepared for them if they come up in the future. we'll see.

my next appointment is tomorrow. i drove by the place this afternoon and it looks decent, up-to-date and they even PLOW THEIR PARKING LOT when it snows! if you don't recall why that's a big deal, read THIS
