Right now I am………………….

Silly bird stay in your brooder

My brave boy!

:: glad that when we took our 3 year old to get his blood drawn to check on iron levels, heart issues and other things that I was able to mentally prepare him well enough so that he didn’t freak out. I told him that we needed to see what color his blood was. If it was red then he was human but if it was green then he was an alien. Thankfully it was red and it was time to celebrate.

:: relaxing after having taken the 3 boys out for pizza with my husband because that is what Magni chose after having his blood drawn.

:: thankful for having a pediatrician that listens and is thorough.

:: feeling the tension in my shoulders that I am sure will not go away until I get the results from the blood test.

:: listening to my baby chicks chirp from the kitchen and glad that I got medication for their bacterial infection because now they don’t smell as bad and hopefully Buff (the blond one) will bounce back and start putting on some weight.

:: finding it funny that while I was sitting and watching the birds earlier the Australorp (the black one) was staring at me and suddenly the name Mathilda popped into my mind. So now that is her name. Mathilda. I like it. Would have never thought I would own any animal by that name but I believe that is what she wants to be called. Starting to think that even though she will just be black that she might become my favorite.

:: hurting after a cycling class I took last night. Not my muscles but my bum is bruised after the saddle. Ended up having to quit before the class was over because the saddle just hurt too much.

:: looking forward to tomorrow morning’s yoga class. Wondering which teacher I will get this time.

:: deciding that I need to start running in the evenings after dinner now that the time is changing and we will have daylight longer.

:: disappointed after my dear husband got batteries to put in our scale and found out that I had put on 3 pounds in the last 3 months. Sigh…. You would think that supporting such a big boy on breast milk alone would be making me smaller. I guess I will have to do this the good old fashioned way. Stop eating like a pig and move my rear.

:: staring at the amount of laundry that needs to be done. Ug.

:: thinking about poring myself a nice glass of wine, watching a show and knitting for an hour.

:: wishing you a beautiful weekend full of adventure and people you love.

Assessment, Family Therapy and Sleepless Nights.

Olof

So I´m at Panera Bread again trying to cram in some info for a finale tomorrow. I´m in a group of people that decided to tackle the study guide together. I´m so glad I did because otherwise I would be up poo creek with out a paddle. I´m finishing up my part which is summarizing 20 pages down to 3-4 pages of material in assessment and I haven´t even started on the study guide for family therapy but I believe that to be a little easier.
My assessment teacher returned my MMPI-2 report with more of her writing on it than mine explaining how I wrote it wrong and that I needed to redo it so that I can get a grade for it. Apparently that happened to half of the class which makes you wonder if it is the class or the teacher that is the problem.
It was my turn to sleep in today and I couldn´t do it. Of course DH had to use the restroom before taking O downstairs with him and in that time O wanted attention. I thought that I was tired enough to pass out after they went downstairs but as soon as DH came back and took O my bellydweller started to do his morning arobics and then 20 min later of trying to pass out my stomach started growling. I was mad. This is the second weekend in a row that I do not get my morning of sleep and DH got both of his because he has no problem falling asleep again no matter what is going on. Next weekend I´m spending the night in the guest bedroom and they can duke it out. I can´t keep missing out on my sleep and be tired all the time. O still has a problem sleeping through the night and I´m the one that gets up to him at night and in the morning while DH gets to sleep at night and sleep in in the mornings while I (the pregnant wife) gets one morning a week and have not gotten that the last 2 weeks because of her stupid body and brain.
Lets just say that lately I have really been craving some wine. Not just a half a glass but a half a bottle. I don´t drink while pregnant but man the craving is still there. I only got 2 months of being able to drink and eat what ever I wanted before getting pregnant again. I had 2 months were I was not breastfeeding nor pregnant. I did not use those 2 months well enough and I have learned that next time I will enjoy it better.
