Sat on the Bench Today

My little guy sat on the bench today. He woke up sick today after the holiday weekend. Nothing worse for a Mom then having a sick kid. It hurts so bad when they aren’t themselves or aren’t hungry. Or they want to go up to their bed for a nap. I just wanted him to be his same old loud, active, food consuming self.

Nope all day he had a fever and went to bed with one too. I thought a lot today about what it was like being sick as a kid…

I tried to be as good and sweet as my Mom was when I was sick. All I wanted to do was feed him but he was not hungry. He drank water or sipped it really. Ate about ten crackers and tonight had a mango Popsicle. He was delighted with the Popsicle.

I had to break it to him that tomorrow was his class field trip and he may need to miss it. He looked at me kind of deer in the head lights. Not sure he really could even think beyond a few minutes. I know he will be disappointed.

Posted my weigh in a day late. I posted it on my losing my regain page. Up a little but I know it was due to the holiday and it will not show for long.

Made a yummy chocolate banana smoothie this morning for myself! I haven’t been doing that lately and I think I need to make protein shakes like that more often.

I’m going to work from home tomorrow since my guy is sick. So I won’t be running at the office tomorrow so I will run at home. Got to make sure to get that done. Since I’ll be out of my routine, I’ll need to make it happen.

Sorry for the rambling tonight. But it helped me. Sweet dreams.
