Weekend Over and Family Health
26 January 2009 12:53 pm
I keep sitting here with the box open and then my mind draws to a blank. I don't have quite so much time to myself so it's annoying that I struggle to find the words.
Matthew didn't get to go to any of the parties this weekend. He was sick off school on Friday. He asked for the day off as his throat hurt and his cough won't go away. We've both had coughs for a while now but I did wonder what the real reason was. He doesn't normally ask for a day off and since he was having a few problems in the middle of last week I thought I'd see how one day off went. He sat around at home a lot but didn't appear to be that ill. He had a couple of doses of cough mixture and when he did he really had coughing fits. We were on the understanding too that if he wasn't well enough for school then he's not well enough for parties or he could make other kids sick. He didn't like that on Saturday when he was expecting to go to a party. Saturday night, bf went out and Matthew came in bed with me as he woke up in the night crying with earache. After a dose of Calpol, he settled down and feeling tired he got out of my bed back to his own bed and went to sleep. Sunday he said he was fine again but I still wouldn't let him go to the next party. He wasn't so disappointed this time, but I feel a little guilty that I didn't fully believe him when he said he was ill. I'm still not 100% convinced though but he's gone back into school happy and cheery this morning.
James has a little cold now, he's all snuffly and seems a little cranky and requiring a lot of attention. I'm wondering if the nurse will go ahead with the jabs tomorrow. I'd rather get it out the way and not have to rebook.
I have a permanant cough that seems like it will never go away, even though James sleeps through the night and I keep my days busy and active I find that I'm a restless sleeper at the moment. Maybe I'm too active and not mentally switching off. I try relaxing in the evening and a bath before bed Saturday night actually woke me up significantly so I was ok to see to Matthew. It could be down to a number of factors but I am thinking alot of it could be down to my increase in activity and eating better food since I joined that slimming club.
Bf's not been feeling too good either. Hungry but unable to eat most of the time, tired and he had a bit of a hangover Sunday. They are one thing I do not miss. Haha
