  • Good morning   Well I got the break I blogged about last.  But it wasn't long enough.  I kept feeling guilty for leaving my kids, and ended up coming home early.  It was my first REAL break since Rainee was born and I didn't know how to take it  


    So I'm taking a REAL one today, because quite frankly I'm running on empty. 


    Telephone calls, Kids crying, Doctors visits, etc, etc.  It NEVER ends it seems.  I haven't blogged this week, because I've never gotten 30 seconds to put together.  But I NEED me time because I'm running out of the ability to take care of my children because of not taking care of myself.  I knew as soon as I came home last Saturday that I had NOT relaxed and was not ready to face my family yet.


    So today I'm determined to take care of myself long enough so that I can take care of my family. 


    I had my post-op visit with the doctor yesterday and have a clean bill of health in regards to my pregnancy.   


    I had a doctors visit for Rainee on Tuesday to get my questions answered about her breathing stuff.  So after spending $115 at the pharmacy we have a medicine regime for her.  It IS helping.  She has gone from sleeping in 3 hour chunks to sleeping a 6-7 hour chunk at night.  Which was a benefit I hadn't counted on. 


    The question remains however does Rainee have allergys which are giving her asthma or reflux which is irritating her bronchials and giving her asthma.  So we're working on that one.  


    I guess I couldn't expect to have one child asthma free huh?    And Rainee's asthma at least is classic asthma you don't have to watch for the retractions etc.  You just have to be beside her and you can hear her wheeeeeeeeeeeeezing. 


    I changed my background on my xanga site last night.  Come and see it   I would have changed my profile picture but xanga was being a butt.


    I have a bunch of pictures from our varying activities.  And will upload them as I have time.  But today I upload just the one of Rainee sleeping.  She was soooooooo peaceful.    And I just wanted to stare and stare at her.   


       


    One of our discoverys in regards to Rainee's sleep/asthma is that she sleeps much longer if she's upright.  So she's been sleeping in her bouncy seat or her swing. 


    Father God, I need to get some rythems and patterns going and I just seem to be running.  Help me start getting a system (of sorts going)  In your sons name, Amen

  • I love the background. I'm glad you got a clean bill of health.

  • I'm glad you found how to make Rainee sleep better. adorable picture.

  • you have five children under five.  remember that.   What I'm trying to say is that it's ok to need a break and I'm glad you are figutring it all out.  Love from me.

  • Great background. I am asmathic too and so is one of my little nephews. Something that works well to calm an asthma attack is relaxing, just caress her back really gently and you will see how she will be feeling better (at least it works with us).
