Weekend Update

Actual Weekend Update

Yes, I went with Seth and Amy. I like Colin and Michael, just not as much, and Tina was not available.

Aislyn most likely has strep. They couldn’t get a swab test from her. Apparently she has a powerful gag reflex. It took two hours to get her to take the very pleasant, bubble gum-flavored amoxicillin because she doesn’t like that, either.

I resorted to many strategies that made me completely uncomfortable before we had any success. In the end it was simply guiding a medicine dropper into her mouth with her help. If only I had done that in the first place.

I’m not at all surprised, and I don’t expect it to be any easier today or tonight, or even tomorrow. She has had issues with food forever. She eats Kraft Mac and Cheese, McDonald’s chicken nuggets, and chicken patties, and that’s about it. She does like fruit, at least.

A wise superior once told me that there are three things you simply cannot force a child to do: eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom. He was always right on when it came to young kids.

There’s no preschool in my immediate future. They decided not to change things at this point in the year. They were going to put me in a social emotional learning classroom, but that also fell through. So now there is a possibility of 7th grade ELA. I haven’t made any decisions, I want to talk to the admin first.

I’ve lost about 20 pounds in the last month.

I didn’t get to the gym yesterday, and there’s a good chance I’m not going this morning, either. Aislyn is having trouble sleeping since she’s been sick, so she may be up, and I don’t want to leave her alone down here.

I’m pretty sure there’s another UNH game today, so I probably won’t be able to go later, either, between that and karate.

Maybe I’ll go to the gym instead of WW. That could work. I hate sacrificing WW, but I don’t know how else I’m going to get my walk in today.

Desmond is going to be taking accelerated math online. I am so proud of him.

That’s all I have at the moment. Have a good night, and a pleasant tomorrow.
