Wow, today has me in total confusion. I am not sure i even know what way is up anymore. Let’s start with me having to run into town to get milk Tuesday night. When i don’t get out and about with the kids during the day, and Beef comes home before i get a chance to text him, then i end up having to run out at night for the supplies i may need. So, after supper, when the children had been bathed and were ready for bed, i headed into town. I made a delivery and then headed to the local Wal-Mart. It is only place to shop for certain supplies, and while i try to avoid supporting this massive chain store, there are times when i can’t avoid it. So, while shopping for a few items, i perused the Christmas section, filled with tons of toys and presents and packaged gifts in baskets and wire bins. I hate commercial sales at Christmas. I wish stores had to shut down from November until January as a sign of respect for Jesus, but that isn’t the case. So as i wandered through the unnecessary aisles and picked up the items i did need, i couldn’t help but think of the day i had yesterday, and i wandered a little longer, and enjoyed the “silence”. I ended up in the video section, and after looking at a couple of ideas for A1, i thought about a video i had wanted to see long ago. So i looked, found, and purchased “Fireproof”. I thought it would be a great video to watch by myself to see if it might be something Beef would be interested to watch, and it may help me get through some things i have been wrestling with. It really hit home, and after watching it, i searched through Scripture to find just the right thing i wanted to share. Then, in red marker, i wrote on our bathroom mirror, 1 Corinthians 7:39, “As long as I live, I am yours”. and i told Beef how much he is my hero. At least as much as would fit on his side of our bathroom mirror. I then went to bed and prayed over him. Somewhere around 2 am, Cheese woke up and i went in and gave him some milk. Again at 3, he was back up, this time screaming. So this time, i picked him up and brought him out and rocked him. He continued crying, screaming and moving around until he finally fell asleep, 30 minutes later, sitting up in my arms. This lasted until 4, when he woke screaming again. So i gave him some ibupropfen, and tried to console him. I was not successful, but i was extremely tired. I was frustrated and exhausted, and i really didn’t know what to do. Luckily, Beef came to the rescue. Unfortunately, he had no more success at comforting our son than i did. So i determined that we would make the 35 mile trek to the emergency room. I didn’t like the idea, since it had rained most of the night, and our road is almost completely mud, not to mention that there was a band of snow moving in, and it was reported to have been dropping heavily, over an inch in an hour. But i pressed on so that i could help our son. Line reluctantly got up, got dressed, and got in the van to ride along, and even though Beef wanted to help, i insisted that he go to work. A1 was very well behaved (for the most part) during our adventure, and the ER Nurse was less than happy to see us there. She made comments about me going to our primary care physician, but when i told her i could leave, she backtracked. The triage nurse was friendly, and the doctor was nice. The teaching nurse seemed a little off kilter, but then, who was i to judge?! All in all, they could find nothing wrong with him, and sent me home with discharge papers that diagnosed Cheese as being a “fussy baby”. Great. Icing on my Wacky Wednesday cake of life! “Nothing’s wrong with your kid lady, you’re overreacting, he’s just fussy.” Even though no one uttered those exact words, i felt them implicated all around. After being discharged, we made it home, where we all went to bed for a nap, and slept all day! Seriously, from 10 am until 4 pm. ALL three of us were asleep.
Cheese woke up in a little better mood, but continued to whine. Beef came home, and I dressed A1 for her dance lesson, and instructed Beef on the basics of being the “dance dad”. He took her, and I stayed home to cook and clean. I fed Cheese some peas and pudding, he wanted to feed himself, so i set him in the high chair with some Cheerios to watch me cook and clean in the kitchen. After dance, we all ate together, and then Cheese started to get extremely whiny again. Beef took a shower and gave A1 a bath. I took a bath and bathed Cheese as well. After bath time, Cheese went to bed willingly, and remains there now. A1 played around, and tried to lay in bed with me, but was unable to be still for any length of time.
I am over a week into a migraine, and hating every minute of it. I’m not sure if the migraine is causing my muscles to tense, or if the tense muscles are causing the migraines. I do know that toinght, it felt like someone was giving me a spinal in my neck. The pain felt like a needle puncturing in between my vertebrae, and I wanted it to stop. I’m not sure what the true healing will be, but i have a feeling ibupropfen alone is not going to do the trick. After taking some medication, I went to bed to watch a little TV, and Beef put A1 to bed. After an hour, she came in, wanting Tangled put in her DVD player. So i got up to do that, read her a book, and put her back in bed. After that, i figured i had better update the blog, so you don’t miss even the slightest detail about today’s events. You know, because they are all so important!
Blessings & have a great Thursday!
