Now for the rest of you...

I am struck so much by the bad attitudes and behaviors our other children are displaying, and were displaying before Caroline left.  I've developed some bad habits of dealing with them, a lot of avoidance or anger.  I need a parenting overhaul.  There are so many books I've wanted to read, so I think I'll take advantage of the pool and bring along some great parenting books.  Not so relaxing, but practical.  I'll let you know which ones I feel are the best as I read them.  My kids are so precious and I don't want to screw them up more than they already are. :)  There's always therapy....
