This has been a long week so far. And to think we're right in the middle now! Both kids are still coughing, sniffling, etc. I gave Rabbit some zyrtec this morning to help her. Her eyes were watery so I think she does have some hayfever to top her cold. I wonder if the medicine affected her though? It's hard to say - she's always moody. Kinda like when you know someone who's an alcoholic, you can't tell when they aren't drunk. Or giving a kitten catnip. kwim? Rabbit's my little moody girl and was like this as a baby too. She'd go from crying to laughing in the same breath!  I did read to them a bit. There's a book called Shadows on the Sea, which takes place during WWII about a girl who spends the summer at her grandma's while her parents are away. Pretty good so far. But we have so much more to cover we're getting behind on. Maine is a busy state! You could learn a lot from it, for a state that's mostly boonies. I couldn't live anywhere if it's more than 20 minutes away from a Walmart or something!  I live in the sticks now but couldn't live where the neighbor was Grizz Lee Bear!  What's driving me nuts about the girls this week is they want to go on the computer yet they are "too sick" for schoolwork. Then they have meltdowns if I say no. Rabbit is punished again from the computer for the big meltdown yesterday. Something she's obsessed with and she's gone way too far on. I just had to do something to let her know she needs to stop. I'm a pack of nerves with decisions I'm going to need to make in the next few weeks - about school for me.. about other things...still unsure about my church.... etc. Well, at least it's helping me lose weight! I was getting my appetite back but I'm losing it again. Go figure. I could lose a good 50 lbs anyway so it's no big deal. Just hope once I lose it, it doesn't come back. |
