Busy Morning, Lazy Afternoon

Okay, so yesterday morning was really busy for me. On most mornings, Joseph and I don't wake up until 9:30 or 10 and then we take our time eating breakfast. Yesterday, we had morning appointments and Mitchell was working at Chick-Fil-A, so we had to drive Mitchell to work at 5:15 in the morning. When we came back, I fell asleep before setting an alarm. We slept through our 7:45 WIC appointment. But we got up and ready to make it to Joseph's 15 month well-baby check-up just in time. The doctor was not happy about his progress. He's 15 months, but he's only 20 lbs. and 28 1/2 inches. He also isn't walking or even really trying to walk. So now I have to make sure to force feed him 4 full meals a day, add Pediasure to his diet, give him vitamins every day, get his blood checked for anemia, and take him to a specialist to see why he isn't walking and why he's "failing to thrive." Mitchell called asking to be picked up just as the doctor walked into the room. He was very patient and waited 45 minutes for us to get there.

Once we were home, I did nothing for the day. I was hungry and ate some almonds while trying to figure out something more substantial. Mitchell left for class and I ran into the bathroom and puked up all the almonds. That just seemed to ruin me for the rest of the day. I was exhausted, weak, and out-of-it for the rest of the day. I just read and Joseph played and did his own little things. When Mitchell came home, we went to Pizza Hut for dinner. And then we came home and went to bed early.

I think the rest was good because I'm feeling better today. I have this desire to garden, but I don't have anywhere that I can garden. Oh well, I'll just go for a long walk instead.
