Tagen spent the night last night. He was asleep by 10:00 and I followed shortly after. I woke up at 7:00 and got up. Michelle and Tim brought Ellexia out around 7:45. They woke Tagen up so they could say goodbye as Michelle and Tim left on vacation today. I fixed the kiddos waffles for breakfast. They hung out quietly all morning. We had macaroni and cheese for lunch and then we came into Emporia.
Both kids are not feeling very well today. I haven’t felt very good today either. I lost my voice this morning for a bit and it came back and left again. I have been really tired again today but thinking it has more to do with what I have been eating then my crud. For some reason the last two days I have been wanting food I haven’t eaten for a year. I had a bunch of potato chips today. Chips are allowed but not in the quantity I ate them today. Yesterday I ate some Chex Mix. Again not much, but I hadn’t eaten stuff like that for a year. Why now?
I have been really tired the last week and am thinking my will power is completely drained. I realized today I have been eating lots of peanut butter the last week and am realizing that peanut butter must be a trigger food for me. It must have led me to crave other foods. Dang! I was really liking peanut butter. Somehow I will have to climb back on the wagon and clean up my diet. Two bad days in a years time. I need to put this in perspective.
Not sure what Plan B will be tomorrow if one or the other or even both kids can’t go to school. I am scheduled to prepare taxes at 9:00 so have something I need to do. Guess I will create Plan B tomorrow if it is actually needed.
I am ready for bed and it is only 6:30. I could fall asleep right now very easily. Both kids are about to crash too. Maybe I can go around and move all the clocks up two hours and trick them into going to bed two hours early.
We have had an easy day today. The two kids didn’t even fight with each other today. Neither one has eaten a bunch either which makes me suspicious that they really don’t feel good. Ellexia went and played with the neighbor kids but Tagen laid on his bed all afternoon.
Day one is almost in the books. Five to go! I can do this!
Grateful it is almost bed time for all of us, grateful day one is almost done, and grateful bodies heal quickly!
