  • Good morning, school is finished, and I'm ready for bed.


    Its only 10:45 though LOL.


    Just rather dragging this morning.


    Awana started last night, and all but Jeremiah are able to go now.   They had a lot of fun.


    Samuel melted down on the way home...but as we'd had a rather hectic day I wasn't too suprised.   And Rainee had a breathing attack during the middle of cubbies.   Bobbi one of the leaders recognized something was wrong, but was unsure what it was so brought her to me.     I knew immediately what was wrong and treated her.


    After club I educated four leaders (including both co-directors) as to what to look for.   They know her history well and treat it extremely seriously.   I will be leaving medicine with her, and praying hard.  LOL


    Ironically it was the first time I'd dropped Rainee off somewhere without worrying...d'uh.   I can't do that.  I have to keep educating the people around her.


    The skunk though decided she was fine.   And when I asked her if she was having trouble breathing she said no.   Even though it was obvious.   On the way home we discussed it again.   And again she said NO I wasn't having a hard time breathing I was just tired.


    The problem is she *was*   Her respiration rate was 50.       So we talked a bit about it, and eventually she "sorta" understood.   Its a lot for a 3 year old to understand after all.  


    The other issue is when I gave her her treatment she immediately stopped the high respiration and was ready to go play, something she was completely unable and unwilling to do only seconds earlier.   She just stops functioning when she can't breathe.  (rather understandable if you ask me.)   Sooooo we keep talking about it I guess. 


    I've done enough reading at AAMA to know this is quite normal.   Kids don't want to be seen as different.   So, I'm not shocked, just bummed its happening so early. 


    In regards to the house "scheme"  Just one a holding pattern.   The owners father is dying I guess, so its not a priority for them which is rather understandable.   I guess we'll call back in a couple days. 


    And 0h yes the other issue.   My husbands commute car is dying.  *sigh*   It has 187,000 HARD miles on it.   And the rotars on the engine are going.   We have to replace the engine or get a new car.   The plan in place for the last two years has been to replace the engine as its a trusty little car.   The problem is new engines are much more expensive then originally suspected.     (like 1400)    UGH!   So we have to decide rather soon what to do.....


    UGH  He can't use the van...it gets NO gas mileage and would break us rather quickly if he had to drive it.  


    Life.

  • :wave: Hope things work out with the car!

  • I'm glad Rainee was okay, and hope she understands a little better when she needs help. Poor kiddo - it is a lot for a little one to understand.

    As for the car - $1400 is a lot, but it's still cheaper than a new car. If there's nothing else wrong with it, it might be worth it. On the other hand...a lot of other things can start to go wrong, meaning it's worth it to buy a new car altogether. Good luck with your decision!
