*sigh* Fifth day of school and Jordan is already dragging. I’ve been trying to get him up and in the shower since 6:45. It’s 7:18. Now he’s out of bed, but he’s messing around because he has to have his apple in a baggie for snack. In a baggie? It’s an apple. Throw it in your book bag. I love difficult days. He finally just took his adderol, while complaining that he wants to take ritalin again. Because the ritalin made him skinny. I’m sorry, honey, you cannot use your adhd medicine as diet pills. I have noticed though that his new pants I just bought him for school are already loose. It kills me. The kid was out running and riding his bike all summer. He shouldn’t have been gaining, but he was. And it hurts him. It worries me because I worry about his heart. And being healthy. But, 5 days of school and the adderol and he has dropped enough weight to need a belt on his new jeans. Maybe I shouldn’t take him off his medicine during the summer. It seems that it just screws up his metabolism. He gains it so fast when I take him off. It doesn’t matter how healthy he eats, and that I’m giving him a good child size portion. It’s weird, because he eats the same things as the girls, and I can’t keep weight on them. They are both in the upper teens/lower 20′s percentile on the scale for weight. While they both are in the 90′s for height. Jordan is opposite. In the 90′s for weight, and in the lower end for height. I just want him to be healthy and to feel good about himself, that’s it. Is that too much for a mother to want?
I finally got up the nerve to ask Pato when he is leaving. He said this afternoon. I think I’m going to have him stick around to go to Kat’s first soccer practice. Then he can take off for Ohio. I’m not happy about this still. He did tell his uncle if he is coming up for training that he is going to come home once a month. I can’t just go up there. Jordan’s got school. And Kat’s preschool starts – crap, I don’t remember. I have orientation on September 3. It starts after that. Plus soccer. Hopefully that will keep me busy enough to not dwell in my own self pity. ROFL
Oh my lord, my son is still not in the shower and it’s 7:30. I keep having to stop typing and go redirect him. ADHD – it kicks in hard when he has to get up early. I really didn’t see any problems with it over the summer. I’ve been having him go to bed at 8. He gets up, usually, at 7. Today I got him up at 6:45 because yesterday he was dragging a little and I had to take him to school. So far I’ve had to get him out of sister’s room, playing with her Dora the Explorer Backpack. Out of his room where he was reading a poster. Off the couch where his clothes that I sat out were making a “nice comfy pillow, mom”. Out of the kitchen with his baggy and his apple, when he decided to get in the fridge just to see what we might make for supper. I love mornings.
And, not that you want to know this, but the baby has decided we don’t like cappuccino anymore. I already stopped drinking coffee because it was making me sick. I barely drink pop anymore. I don’t keep it in the house because I love my diet mt dew too much. This way I force myself to drink water when I’m thirsty. LOL Yesterday, when I took Jordan to school, I stopped and got an English Toffee Cappuccino. Drank 3/4 of it and had to take off running. That’s just wrong. Not many things that taste really really good to me right now, and that was one of them. Was being the key word there.
Later on Pato looked at me and said, what is that red stuff all over your face and under your neck? It looks like you have hives. I went in and looked, looks like I broke all the blood vessels in my face and neck. Haven’t done that since I was pregnant with Alyce. I just love being pregnant. ROFL I’m 14 weeks and NOW the morning sickness kicks in good and hard. Yesterday, I ended up laying down most of the day, since he was home to take care of the kids.
Let’s go from morning sickness to the democratic national convention. ROFL What a jump. I’m a McCain supporter, I have been since before the Iowa caucuses. I was one of the few people who voted for him here in the caucuses. But, I watched part of the convention because I like to see the other sides point of view. And can I say, whether I agree with him or not – Ted Kennedy got to my heart. His doctors told him he couldn’t go to the convention. He said, nope, I’m going. They kept saying he was going to be speaking. He said, I’m gonna speak. All this while going through the treatment for his brain tumor. Kind of made me want to cry to see him up there. I don’t have to agree with him, but I can be happy for him. You don’t want to ever see anyone sick or hurting. I missed Michelle Obama’s speech, though I wanted to see it. I think I’ll see if I can’t find some video of it today. I ended up going to bed because Pato changed the channel when I wasn’t looking, Alyce was tired and cranky, and I said, it’s time for bed. I fell asleep next to her. Pato was happy. He couldn’t understand why I had to make him suffer through the convention on the main TV (that his playstation is hooked up too. ROFL) when that’s not even my guy. Plus, he HATES politics. Ours, Mexico’s. Politics in general. He hates it when I turn on the talk radio station here. More blah blah blah he says. I love news. Opposites attract they say. LOL
Alright, he is finally out of the shower, and I need to get him going. So, that’s all from me today.
Have a great day!
