Entry for November 18, 2006 Splendid day!
We had some friends over for lunch...I cooked my second pot roast in history. I even have enough to make beef stew for some surprise guest tomorrow. I was really nice to have company and Sunshine enjoyed playing with the children. Even though he did try to bite their little girl, which resulted in swift punishment. We also need to work with him on eating at the table...he doesn't do well at all and like to roam. I tried to put the boys at a kid table, which I don't think was a good idea or success. Now I know huh? Their little boy did great, but my sunshine well....let's just say we will eat at the table next time...all of us. I may have to invest in a bigger table though, next time there will be 9 instead of 7. Sunshine and I took a 3 hour nap after they left. It was nice to sleep, but the interruptions were annoying, the cat, the door and then the bathroom. GRRRR....I think I'm going to have to take some anti-nausea med tonight and hopefully that will allow me to sleep better. This past week certainly hasn't been as fun as the past few months. MC is moving well again, but I'm in so much pain, and it doesn't help that I pick up a 38 lb 2 year old often. I volunteered to teach K how to crochet, I love to do it in the past time even though it takes me forever to finish a project, I enjoy the result. I hope to have both of the boys done by Christmas so I can give them a special present.
Call me crazy, but I think that sunshine is ready to start using the potty, great timing huh? 18 days before his brother is going to be here. He keeps bringing me his pull-up. Well as most of you know, he has been ill with diarrhea for the past week.... WELL....He had brought me his pull up about 30 minutes ago...then I heard ut-oh. Little pitter patters walked into the kitchen and his hand extended out to take mine. He didn't pull or try to force me to get up, but as always I want him to know that he is important and what he wants me to see is important also. So I went...reluctantly. We walked into the livingroom and he pointed to the floor in front of the TV. Sure enough, ut-oh. Thank goodness this ut-oh was solid and not liquid. I cleaned him up and the mess, and will have to reclean my carpet tonight when Duck gets home or tomorrow. Like I said it was solid, so no mess, but still the principal. I'm so glad that his is back on track. After dealing with this for nearly two months and then even worse this past week, I'm done! I tried eliminating everything bad from his diet, and took him off his beloved applesauce. Nothing worked, especially when he got this bug last week. And yes I know I'm not a doctor, but since there is 4 other children at daycare sick, I think that I'm classified enough as a mother to consider it a bug. So I finally decided Thursday that I was tired of him not eating and trying to eat everything out the fridge that he shouldn't so we broke down and he had McD's....and Papa Johns yesterday. Perhaps I should write them thank you letters...just kidding. I'm sure that their food had nothing to do with it.
I go back to the doctor Monday morning, bright and early. I will see if they allow me to go back to work. I do enjoy where I work and what I do, I just didn't appreciate the attitude this week I got from my boss. I understand that it put her into a bind, but there was nothing that could be done...and her guilt trip made me feel worse at first, but then angry. I don't respond well to guilt trips and I'm glad that I've had the opportunity to rethink the whole situation. It isn't in my control that my child was sick, nor that my husband had to work nights this week and couldn't get up at 6:30/7:00 am to take care of our child. Someone had to stay home with him, and then to top it off, if I'm sick, I'm sick. I'm not going to go to work and spread it around, nor do I feel like driving to the southside would have been a good idea with as dizzy and nauseous as I felt. I do hope that she understands that some things just aren't in our control, and I can only do my best.
Okay, I think I'm going to go put puzzles together with my little man. Thanks for listening, sorry if it is off or rambling, my brain isn't all with me right now!
