Day Two - Feeling good
We were a little late for work today, but I made good use of my time while there. I worked more on cleaning off my work computer and desk. I work from home tomorrow. Then on Thursday, if I maintain my current pace, I should finish clearing and preparing the computer. Friday I will train my replacement, and if everything works as planned, that will be my last day. Of course, I'm only a phone call away if they need anything. I may be re-hired in the future, but it would likely take till next year at the earliest. I feel things happen for a reason, and this is what needs to happen. It will take getting used to - especially for the twins. But, overall, this will be great for all of us.
I've been getting more accomplished around home. I seem to feel much better when I stay positive, and I do a lot more when I feel better. I've paid our credit card bills through the middle of August. I've been watering the tomato plants I transplanted this weekend, and they are doing fine. I haven't lost my temper much today...the kids have been behaving well. I never got that shower last night, but I will tonight. I have lost a pound since yesterday, and I haven't had much of an appetite today. I ate some fries and a Cajun chicken club for dinner tonight. I'm going to try to eat again before bed. I didn't fall asleep till midnight last night (the fetus was kicking my sides out from 10:30-11)...hopefully I'll sleep like a baby tonight.
The twins have been singing some song all day - "Daddy had a pork chop belly." T was in an exceptionally good mood today! She spent quite a while playing her keyboard and singing "HELLO WORLD!" over and over. J's eczema is getting out of hand. I can see it popping up on 3 more fingers. His face is dry, he is constantly itchy, and we can't keep him moisturized enough. He is still having a flare-up behind his knees, inside the bends of his arms, his right wrist, his face around his lips (a little), and his right middle finger (where it is severe). I'm terrified he'll get staph or other harmful infection through his finger - it is ALWAYS cracked open. You can imagine how hard it is to keep medicine, Vaseline, gloves, or anything on the hand of a 5 year-old boy. Everything burns that finger except Vaseline. Poor kid. Oh, my parents had some grapes ready for harvest today - mmmm sweet. I'm saving the seeds just in case my thumb turns green enough to plant them one day.
I need to get dinner made for these kids, empty the dryer, fold the clothes, refill the dryer, and get the kids in bed by 8. I don't want to miss "The Duggars meet Dolly"! The husband works late tonight, so I'll have time for Duggars, a shower, and a nap before he gets home.
Tomorrow we have no where to go; I'll be working from home. Hubby doesn't go to work until 4 tomorrow, so he'll be here with the kids. I hope they don't drive each other crazy - the weather looks bad, and they'll probably be stuck in the house all day. Hubby will likely sleep late then play Nerf guns, play-doh, video games, or something with the kids. I'll get an entire day to soak and scrub black crayon out of a load of dried clothes; I've been saving that chore for a day like tomorrow. Since the black crayon got in the wash, I've decided to wash my clothes alone. No more nice shirts and maternity khakis in with the kids play clothes. I should also be able to almost catch-up laundry in general tomorrow - IF I can stay positive!
