Mommy Guilt

Mommy guilt is what I have had all week. Lincoln become very sick after Thomas the Train. We had a busy day and I thought he was tired. He was watching Thomas on Tv while Rob and I made dinner.  I called him for dinner and there was no answer.  Needless to say I went to our living room and he was very lethargic on the couch.  I sat him up and he was so lethargic I almost ran him in to the ER. I very rarely get worked up but he went from fine to a sick boy with a temp of 102.9.  Rob carried him to the kitchen table and we were able to get him to drink a little and he refused to eat blueberries. I knew we were I was in for a long night.  Motrin and a bath bought his temp down slightly but he was more responsive. He went to sleep and was sleep walking twice throughout the night. He was also talking in his sleep about Thomas. (that was kind of cute).  I was suppose to work so I took him to my mom's in the am.  He did not want Nana and I felt awful leaving him.  Then I proceeded to talk about him all day at work and how worried I was. Oh, I forgot to mention that while I was out to dinner Friday night he swallowed some beads off a necklace.  I was very afraid that they had caused and obstruction or somehow got into his appendix.  The nurse in me jumps to the worst case scenario.  He also had not pooped since Thursday. 

Fast forward to later that day I finally got him into the dr. and he had strep and Scarlett fever again! The second time in 2 months.  He did not have a rash when we walked into the drs. but he had it 20 minutes into the appointment.  His temperature finally broke Thursday.  Now, he has a cough.

But, I had to take him to daycare on Wednesday. I really like the daycare lady I use but I was not a happy mom when I picked him up.  It was cool in the am when I dropped him off so I had him in pants and a long sleeve top.  I told her that there was shorts in his bag and he had a tee-shirt on under his long sleeve shirt.   It was 75 degrees and sunny that day.  I picked him up around 4 and he was in the same cloths!!!! HE STILL HAD A TEMP!  I wanted to scream. But, instead I put on his shorts before we left in front of her and took him home.  The first thing I said to Rob when I got home was I am not working Wednesdays or Thursdays anymore. Those are the only 2 days I need daycare besides my mom.

Am I overreacting??

Thomas the train

Mothers Day 2011 was spent riding Thomas the Train.  We took Lincoln to Greenfield village to ride the Thomas.  He is in love with Thomas the Train. If I had a dollar for every time he said Thomas the Train I would be RICH!!  I must say the weather was beautiful and he had a permanent smile the whole entire time.  The train ride was 20 minutes long and they had Thomas stuff set up everywhere.
After we left all Lincoln has talked about is riding Thomas.  He knows that Thomas is off doing work and taking more children for rides. Lincoln also tells me multiple times a day that Thomas will be Right Back, Long Time. I wish I could capture the smile and the way his eyes light up when talking about that day.

Speaking of Mothers Day, my husband, bought me home a beautiful bouquet of flowers. It is honestly the 3rd or 4th time Rob has ever got me flowers. The best part was the card. I love you mommy, Love Lincoln.

The tail of 2 runs

So many things to write about I don't know where to begin. I will work my way backwards in time.

This week I had my best run and my worst run.  Monday I ran 4 miles in under 40 minutes it was easy, fun and I was actually thinking of training for Chicago.  Yesterday, I had my worst run ever.  If you can even call it a run. Started off my shin was killing me, I wore the wrong socks and they were to tight on my right foot and that went numb, my knee and hip hurt. I am getting old and falling apart.  Ice Ice Ice is what I have been doing and am going to lay off running for the next week or two. 

This post reminds me of a bad country song.  I am whiny, craving sweets, and extremely tired. I swear I am preggo but the test thinks otherwise.  We are planning on trying for Baby 2 this fall/winter/next spring.
