It’s all up to me

My older son is very bossy and likes to try to put my hubby and me in our room for time-outs.  We keep explaining to him that we would LOVE to be sent to our room, he doesn’t quite understand yet why we would want to be in time-out.  As of today, I not only want a time-out, I want to run away from home. 

We took Kyle to the doctor yesterday and not only does he have an ear infection but he has pneumonia.  The rest of yesterday went fairly well, other than the fact that I pounded snacky food.  I kept eating the M&M’s and honestly knew I wasn’t going to stop, so I tried to make it healthy by adding raisins and almonds.  Last night was my night to sleep w/o interruption and I can’t remember the last time that happened.  I slept in the downstairs bedroom so that I didn’t even have to be bothered by the sounds in the monitor and woke up to my older son coming downstairs at 7:30.  My hubby sent him down b/c the baby was getting worse and apparently he thought I could wave my magic wand and fix him.  I was not amused.  A small argument ensued w/my hubby saying that I was acting like I thought he was incompetent.  I truly don’t feel that way, but I do think that HE thinks he’s incompetent regarding Kyle.  Long story long, I called the doc and he changed Kyle’s meds.  He’s now on a stronger antibiotic and a steroid.  Hopefully we won’t get the hyper side-effects that usually come w/a steroid, right now he’s napping so maybe we can avoid those.

Food-wise today I’m ok, but it’s Sunday so I’m not going to worry.  I had another batch of my homemade trail mix and am behind on my water.  My hubby’s napping b/c he got up at 3:00 to take care of Kyle and I’m doing my best not to throw myself a pity party.  Tomorrow our nurse will be here so life will get better.  Normally I would call my mom for help but she’s taking care of my dad; plus, she’s going to have Kyle starting next Wednesday for a week and I’m already worried about that b/c my dad’s rib is going to take weeks to heal.  I guess we’ll have to cross that bridge when we get there.

I’m not going to workout today, I need a day off.  Back in the swing of things tomorrow.
