The Ramblings of my enfeebled mind
I've learned something about my body. It not only matters the number of calories I put into it, but the type of calories. That may sound strange, but I learned this week that if my caloric input is from salty or over sugary junky food, my body will tend to hold on to it, if it's from healthy lean protein, veggies, and whole grains, my body lets go of storage like I let go of bugs or spiders. Log that away, I feel better too. I really need to remember that the next time I'm wanting a binge day. :) oh well. I'm back on track and it will all iron out.
My son is sleeping now. He had a rough night. Consequently I'm tired. Exhausted would be a better word for it. Is there a more tired word than exhausted? After waking up crying for the fourth time in 20 minutes I tried to nurse him back to sleep and he bit me. This is the first time he's done this, so it actually surprised me. I gave him some tylenol thinking that maybe he was waking up because he was in pain. It sortof worked. At least I think it did. I think he slept for a full 20 - 40 minutes after that.
We had a very rough week this week. He had a fall, and has a scrape on his head. I of course feel awful, awful, awful about this, but I've done everything I could do. After the fall, he had a hard nap day, meaning he didn't really get a good nap in, and then when he finally conked out for the night, we were out running errands. He was woken by a well meaning Dad, and then the son proceeded to scream for the next 4 hours. I was awake with him until 11:30/ midnight. He was screaming the entire time. He didn't want to nurse, (a first for him and that freaked me out a little) He didn't want to be held, he did NOT want to be set down, nothing was working. I figured it was just overtired, but the husband was worried. The next day I noticed that his ear (only one of them) was hot. I of course was concerned that he could have an ear infection, and after consulting with two of my sisters we decided to take him to urgent care and get him checked out. This was of course at 8 pm on a Saturday night. By the time we got him to the Dr, he was happy as could be, his ear was no longer warm, and he was flirting with the nurses! Dr. checked him out said he does not have an ear infection, and his scratched head is healing just fine. I felt so stupid. Of course I've been feeling like the worst Mommy in the world because he fell, and then I couldn't tell if he had an ear infection or not. I didn't feel like I was seeing any difference in his behavior other than the night that he was super tired and screaming. I don't know. Perhaps it would be better to not write blog posts when I'm the living breathing antithesis of fresh and energetic like this.
I just read over this and it reminded me of this. Haha. enjoy!
