A Quicky

I’ll skip the creative writing and thinking and just jot down the past and present.

Im ok, not much to report. I havent "worked" in about 2 weeks. I was feeling run down and found that I had low iron when I went to the doctor. Still not 100% but I am feeling a little better. I need to take better care of myself. I am usually in pretty good health but I think the low iron has shown that my nutrition intake hasnt been good. For those of us who eat on the fly, we need to make better choices. It will catch up to you. Lesson learned.

Sean, my 6 year old, is sick AGAIN with an ear infection, this time on the right side. The Bell’s palsy affects of the last ear infection cleared up about…2 weeks ago(?) and now this. Took him to the doc, got meds. He hasnt been able to keep anything down all morning due to the mucus drainage into his tummy. I am waiting for that to slow down so he can have pain and antibiotic meds. He is sleeping on and off. Lucky me, J is out of town racing (read:sarcasm). He called and I told him how sick Sean was. He doesnt want to come home tho. Yes, I can handle it but its so hard, as you parents know, to take care of a sick child, have a younger demanding child tugging at you, and not feel well yourself. Gwen is out of town also. LOL. I guess I just have to handle this and be a good parent without anyone’s help! Poor me! Kidding.

I went to the store today and stocked up since it doesnt look like we are going anywhere til Sean is feeling better. Special thank-you goes to my mother who sat with them so I didnt have to drag him to the store. Well, that about covers it. I may catch a nap for a few minutes while they sleep.
