It is 5 min. to 5am. I am so tired!!! I am very happy that it is Friday. I do have an appointment at 10am today though. I would love to go home early but I already filled out my time sheet showing me working till 8am. AAAAAA!
I need to "suck it up" as my dad would say and just get through this morning. I can sleep later. I am taking Nathan to go see Santa today after his nap. I will try to remember to post pictures later.
Bud and I ate turkey pizza for the second night this week. It was still ok. Nathan put his nose up to it and said "not yet." He has been eating salads at restaurants lately. So I fixed him a spinach salad tonight and made sure to put Ranch dressing on it. He took one bite and spit it out and said "I don't like it!!!" "It is STINKY!" and he waved his hand in front of his nose!!! What a little devil! (But he is my devil!) Go figure!
Wed night he came down to the basement wearing a sweatshirt and his NASCAR big kid underwear and he stood in the doorway of the laundry/bath room and said "HEY MOMMA!" This is a kid that goes limp when you have to dress him. Here he had done it all himself!
It is so hard to believe that - he is our son. He is growing into such a person! But really I wouldn't have it any other way.
Two of my best friends just had babies in the last month. Yes, about 5% of me wanted to join them in the pregnancy and be a mommy again. But really the 95% of me left- was quite glad that - I don't have to go through all of that again. I can't wait to be finished with diapers and sippy cups! I can't wait until I have a kid that I can take to places and not have to keep an eye on all the time making sure they stay out of trouble and not run away. I am happy for no more formula and bottles. I am thrilled at no more carrying the car seat in and out of the car, and using a stroller everywhere. I am all grins at the growth that Nathan has fostered in the past few months. I just can't wait for the next life growth for him.
I am happy that I can comfortably leave my child at preschool for the day. I can work outside the home and help provide for him and my husband. I have so much more freedom since Nathan turned into a preschooler. He has learned how to entertain himself too- I no longer have to be the one to keep him occupied. He has lots and lots of monster trucks and ramps (thanks to PaPa) and he can look at his books and run the DVD player- all by himself! I am THRILLED to be at this place and stage of his life.
It is time I start to take care of myself as well. I have begun the journey back to health. I see the Diabetes educator in a few hours. I see a nutritionist in 2 weeks. I see the eye doctor in 3. I have been horrible to myself and can feel it. Now that my sugars are dropping to a normal range I am feeling much different. Not sure yet whether it is a good feeling- but for my health it is a good thing.
OH NO!!! Ice for this weekend. I digress...
Well- it is after 5 am now. I have to put the computer away, and put the dishes away and make the coffee. Wait till the clock strikes 8!!!!
Have a good one!
