A rare afternoon blog for me... but I feel like it. Drew got home last night. He missed his original flight which just about sent me over the edge. I'd had a very very rough night with Grant the night before. He's got a cold now... so that isn't helping the sleep problem. Anyway, yesterday might have been my worst mom day ever. I was just frustrated and over it all.... exhausted... braxton hicks contractions... the whole nine yards. So when Drew called to tell me he'd missed his flight... all I could do was cry. I managed to pull myself together enough yesterday afternoon to make a pan of lasagna for dinner. Grant ate a good bit... and I ate enough that despite taking 2 units of fast insulin my sugar was STILL 122. (The garlic bread didn't help... but come on... I self-medicate with food... and yesterday was definitely a day for a real coke... which I couldn't have). Anyway, after dinner, my mood turned the corner (see, self medicating works) and I was pretty excited when it came time to get Drew from the airport. Grant was so excited to see Drew that he stayed awake all the way to the airport AND all the way home. He crashed very hard when we got home. It was wonderful to see Drew again and it was wonderful to just get to talk to him about everything that had gone on while he was gone. Today is Drew's birthday! We'll have a little celebration... but we usually have a Drewlianna birthday party on the 11th – since his is the 9th and mine is the 13th. We'll do one cake... and go out for dinner that day. By the way – new discover is that Carinos will make whatever dish you want and put it over spinach instead of pasta. YUM. It's like real food... but gestational diabetes friendly. I suspect we'll go there on Wednesday. Poor Grant is struggling with being so tired, not feeling well, and hating to sleep without his pacifier. He doesn't ever ask for it... but he's not sleeping the same without it. Tonight is night seven of being “boppie-free” so there's no going back. This too shall pass. I'm one of the people who really dislikes summer. Maybe I'm the only one. I don't like all the kids being out of school... I prefer the fall/winter/spring structure... when it's safe to shop and go to the mall without snotty 10 year olds everywhere. I detest the heat of summer... especially in Charlotte where there's NO WIND... so it's just air soup. It's a season I just put my head down and power through... knowing that at some point it will be cool again. I am really itching to go to the beach though. Maybe one of these weekends... |
