Here we go….

At first I was frustrated because I had behaved… then I remembered the Cuban sandwiches…. oh well they were good. Today’s another day.

Today I’m exhausted.

230/3am my sick kiddo comes into my room. Head hurts feels terrible. Next thing I know he drinks some water and throws up…

Here we go…

I stayed awake for hours worrying and in between periods of sleep checked on him.

Around 730am he had a fever full body aches … not a good way for him to start the week. Covid test was negative . I gave him some children’s Advil.

After getting his siblings off to school we called the Dr who could see him at 145 that afternoon. I was absolutely amazed at how well the medicine worked. He was laughing talking wanted a little food.

I had my absolute favorite breakfast ever. Fried eggs on sourdough toast with avocado. Grilled sourdough bread is so good and one of the few breads I can eat without digestive distress. I had bought some gourmet mix tomatoes…. I had never before because they are more expensive but I saw some on a YouTube foos video and wanted to try. The did not disappoint. I could have eaten them like candy.

Babys nap time was in my arms today and long. I had to wake him for lunch. My husband ordered us some lunch ( thank you delivery service account credit) . I prefer bone in wings but you get much more food with boneless so I went that route. Garlic parmesan is the best flavor ever…just saying.

As I am getting ready to leave for the appointment my poor son is sick again. At the doctor they tested him for strep and sure enough it was positive. Oddly enough his chief complaint wasn’t a sore throat.

Still trying the half size coffee. Still perfecting. I may try to figure out something else. I may have been too ambitious with my original plan. I could suck it up and be miserable.. but I’m managing a lot of life around me and I really need to want sustainable not fast. This sucks.

Taking and 8 year old and 3 year old girl into CVS with an 8 month old baby was a very interesting adventure. I regretting going inside almost immediately because the drive thru while long was probably not much longer than inside…. but I needed electrolyte Popsicles so I sucked it up. I managed to walk away from all the temptation of you’ve had a long day and you’re tired just get some chocolate or sneak over to Sonic for a Dr Pepper to perk you up. I went home reheated leftovers… medicated not one but two kids ( baby recovering from an ear infection) and sat down.

Close to bedtime my husband asked if I wanted one of the mini desserts we bought awhile back but never ate. If we didn’t eat them soon they would go bad. At the time I didn’t want to waste them. I said sure. Might as well screw up sooner into the process I figured. I do need to in the future not treat myself like a garbage can with junk food. I do NOT believe in wasting food….except for treats. They are not helpful in or out of your body. I chose the nice gesture over perfection and now have one less in the house to temp me.
