cough, cough, sniff, sniff
Thomas is home sick today. As well as yesterday and the day before. Poor little guy. I took him to the doctors and he has the cold that everyone seems to have- and the only thing we can do is ride it out. He spends a lot of time on the couch in a fog so I know he doesn’t feel very well at all.
Graham hasn’t gotten it yet- but I’m sure it is to come. We are going through a bumpy time in basketball now. sigh…. I know Graham is a little firecracker and mostly contains it- mostly. During practices he gets frustrated and starts pushing boys and giving me attitude. Last practice I was DONE with it and threatened to pull him out of basketball all together. After spending most of the night worrying about Graham and this behavior I decided to talk to his teachers at school to see if this was common behavior. His teacher, PE teacher and music teacher all looked at me like I was crazy. They said they have NEVER seen an aggressive side to Graham like the one he shows in basketball. When I went back to talk to his teacher for a second time he reminded me that up until this point everything has come easy for Graham (reading, writing, math, making friends, etc….) and that this was his first real challenge. Thus, the frustration. I talked to his coach about it and he is awesome about the whole situation and has given me a new perspective on it. I am hoping that things improve otherwise, this will be the last team sport Graham plays for a few years.
class is going well- trying to get a lot of painting done.
I am back at the gym- which is SWEET! I’ve lost a total of 56 pounds now. YIPEE!!! I’m still going strong- and VERY determined to get rid of this excess weight. It’s coming- slowly but very surely.
Well, time to make lunch for my sickie.
