I woke up all sick and congested today. Expected but it still sucked sucked. I can’t take anything for it cause of the nursing so I just whined and felt sorry for myself. Until I saw David’s face and realized that he had a shiner under his left eye. (it’s subtle but I swear it’s there.)
then i felt bad for him. his best friend at school punched him twice this last week. i wrote to the teacher about it and talked to david and told him to make another friend. i am really upset about it but trying not to talk about it so much since it puts his focus on the bad stuff and right now he still loves school a lot. let’s see what the teacher says. I then dragged myself to my hair appointment cause rescheduling is a nightmare. When I came back, David was playing wii and Nathaniel was not napping in his bed.
so I picked him up and gave him some food and lay on the couch, feeling some more sorry for myself. Then I realized that Nathaniel’s thumb was getting infected again so I put the cream, wrapped it and called his doctor.
It turns out the sample they had taken ten days ago shows staph in the bacteria so it’s not such great news. he’s going back to the doctor on monday to see if we can do more tests. and so then i felt bad for him, too. Especially since he was back to being sock-arm-boy.
He didn’t care. He just wanted to be like his brother. So when he saw the extra Wii remote, he was in heaven.
So went our day. I talked to my mom, I napped while Nathaniel took his afternoon nap and David played. I tried to read more of my 1300-page book which is really boring me. I read the Phantom Tollbooth out loud to David. We then did some more reading exercises. And it was time for them to go to bed. I still have to read 700 pages for this book to finish. Ugh.
Long day.But at least I didn’t have work and spent the day with my boys. Grateful.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that my boys are so sweet and when I feel terribly ill like now, they are mostly easy to take care of and when they are not my husband is amazing.
2. I am grateful that I got my hair done, always makes me feel like a star.
3. I am grateful that I did all my must-get-done items and so I can just relax and be sick this weekend. This week is going to be rough at work so it’s best to rest as much as I can.
Two Things David’s Grateful For:
I’ve been working with David so he can be more specific with his items.
1. I’m grateful that I got to play A Boy and His Blob on the Wii.
2. I’m grateful that I played with Nathaniel on the big bed at bedtime (they wrestled and laughed together).
3. I’m grateful for Daddy cause he gave me peanuts while mommy was napping.
4. I’m grateful that Mommy read the Phantom Tollbooth to me.
