Well, today started off a little too early for my liking. I made the big mistake of telling my elder last night, that he would be going to work w/ Dad at some point today. He was up at the buttcrack (yes, it's a word) of dawn asking me the schedule for the day. He's always been the kind that asks a million questions, esp about what's gonna happen when. I need to make him a schedule, but then I fear if I get off schedule, he'll bug me even more;) Sooo, he went off to work at around 8 w/ R. M woke up after 8, which is late for him. I noticed he felt warm, and it got worse after a couple hrs...101.5. No other symtoms, other than looking sleepy and an occasional sneeze. I gave him some ibu and we snuggled on the couch for a couple hrs before lunch. We ate and my colon started hurting again. Just feels weird, like someone is poking me in my lower left ab by my pubic bone, w/ a sharp pen. So I've just been lying around being lazy and reading nearly 1/2 my "The Hunger Games" book. Man, it's GOOD! I'd seen the movie trailer a couple months ago, and have been interested ever since. Heard a coupla my friends mention it, so had to get it. After getting on the list (36th in line) at the library, R let me buy it last night at Wally for $6.29. It was worth it. Thinking I'll need to buy the next 2 in the series before the weekend is over;) Easy, fast reading, too.
Life is going well. I can tell I've had a huge shift in my attitude and stress levels, and I hope the change is a change for good. I've been busying myself w/ the housey duties and trying desperately to maintain the state of clean that my Mom brought about when I was at the hospital. I've managed to keep up w/ the dishes and laundry, just by doing 1 load of each a day!! * wonders never cease! I don't worry about who calls, or keeping up w/ ppl as much, just getting school done, chores and a good dinner. It was hard last night, bc I made yellow rice w/ black beans--spiced up w/ cumin and fresh garlic, then purree'd the beans so the kids wouldn't gag. Made them into burritos w/ sour cream and salsa. Smelled SOOOo good. I can't eat the beans, salsa or spices right now:(( So that was hard. I can't wait to eat again, but just thankful I feel good enough to be in the kitchen again. I'm planning on making a list and hitting up the Whole Foods grocery in Ocala this weekend w/ the boys. I also have "plant a garden" on my list too. I want to start changing some things around here, esp what food we're eating. Baby steps. I don't want to be in the hospital every day when I'm old, if I can do anything in my power to help that. So much heart disease and cancer runs in my family, it's not even funny.
Well, I keep hearing bumps. M's in my bed "sleeping" so I'd better go investigate. And I need to steam mop the kitchen. I love using that mop.
Happy Thursday:)
