A Little Update

Hey y'all...just wanted to check in and let y'all know I'm still here. It's been crazy busy at work as we are transitioning to a new building. So on top of trying to do the every day work, we have also been packing offices to move. By the time I get home, I'm plum tuckered out. We moved what we could Friday, although my stuff is in a storage room because my area isn't quite ready yet. Actually, the entire building isn't quite ready yet but they are getting there. Movers continue to get furniture and boxes moved this the weekend so all should be done come tomorrow morning when we arrive and that's a good thing since rain is in the forecast for the next few days. I might not be up and running right away, but should be by the end of the day. I hope anyway but it also depends on the progress made in my area over the weekend. We shall see. 

I picked my Bella up from daycare Monday and she was complaining her head hurt. I told her I would give her some medicine when we got home and she said "good". I knew it must be a true headache if she agreed. So I'm asking her questions, she's answering but also coughing, and starts crying because every time she coughs it hurts her head more. Next thing I know, my poor baby is throwing up in the car. We hadn't even turned off the road daycare is on, and y'all, daycare is on the north end of town, and we live on the south end of town. Oy!! And of course I catch every damn light between here and there. I had a coffee cup in the car so I give her that as well as her blanket we had. When we finally make it home, baby girl strips her clothes off, lays down on the couch and is out for the count. She slept for about an hour and a half then woke up wanting to eat some pasta. She ate a little, drank some Sprite and snuggled up to me until she fell asleep again. I did manage to give her some Tylenol before she went back to sleep because her head was still hurting a little and I felt it was okay to give her some meds since she ate a little. She never ran a fever and woke up the next morning ready to go. Migraine? That's what I'm thinking and if so, God bless my poor girl. 

Tuesday we ran to the store after work to pick up a few things. This girl right here has been walking and jogging (if you want to call it that) for over a week now. I wanted to get some fresh fruits and veggies. I've been doing pretty good. I know the changes won't come overnight so I'm taking it day by day, but let me tell you my children have been my biggest cheerleaders. Bella has gone walking with me every night and when I don't feel like it, she's encouraging me to get up and go. Christopher has been my timer when I do my exercises back at the house which have included planks. Those are the devil but I do the basic one every night. I'm not going to lie, I'm very much out of shape so after a few days of doing all this, I'm super sore and getting back up off the floor is tough. My son was helping me up the other night and he says "I'm so proud of you mommy". I almost started crying right there but managed a "thank you son".  I have some pretty good kids. 

Scott and I are still talking. We are honest with each other. He knows my fears. I know his. He knows I am cautious. He understands why.  We talk every day trying to figure out how we can make a long distance relationship work. There have already been difficult days because we both get aggravated at our situation and remember the reasons why it didn't work before. But, we talk through it and push forward. It's still a process but we are giving us another try. More to come. 

Y'all have a great day!
