I feel a little better now. I took Thing 2 to the pediatrician mostly because the boy is nothing but skin and bones with stomach issues.
The Beloved Pediatrician made me feel so much better when he told me that Thing 2, while small in frame, was okay. He's seen abdominal cases where children who grow several inches in a short period of time also lose several pounds. Thing 2 has gained 4 pounds since his last visit. He's also grown about 4 inches but apparently, no cause for alarm needed.
We discussed various things to work into his diet. Various things to stay away from.
I felt so relieved. And silly for being so worried when it was really about fruits and vegetables and a multi-vitimin with iron.
We stopped at Krispy Kreme before we headed home. A last meal before the commencement of the fruits & vegetables.
And then Thor came home from work with another pounding headache from one of the medicines he's taking for his medical issue. So pounding that at one point in the evening, when I went up to the bedroom to get something, I found him in the dark - sitting up in bed with his hands on his head. Scared the bejeebers right out of me. I got him an ice pack for the back of his neck but other than that, I can't do anything to help. I am helpless. I don't like helpless.
He's getting pretty near close to 79 pounds himself. Well, not so little. But dang! I can't take this shrinking family of mine!
On the one hand I'm feeling better about Thing 2 but on the other hand I've transferred that stress over to the other stress about Thor.
Of course, stress just makes me eat more so by the time this is all said and done, I should have found every pound that my little family has lost and packed in right onto my torso. Fuckers are gonna fade away while I grow right out of the house!
Food for Folks today. Another day where I drive around with a car full of food that smells like cabbage. I don't know what they have in there but it always smells like cabbage. About makes me want to vomit.
I don't think I have the tolerance nor the patience to spend an hour and a half with my mother. I'm going to smack her right in the mouth if she tells that damn story again about how her grandson walked around the table and said he was "boring" and when his sister joined in on being boring, he told her she couldn't be boring he was the only one who was boring.
I'm going to smack her. Yes I am!
Or if she tells me again how she wants her two favorite grandchildren to play a song at her funeral - and her two favorite grandchildren are not my very own children, who themselves happen to play musical instruments (they do?) - I'm going to stop right where we are, no matter where we are, and I'm going to kick her little insensitive ass right out the god damned door.
You hear me mom? Don't be blathering incessantly and talking about your two most favorite wonderful grandchildren when I've got two very wonderful grandchildren of yours sitting at MY house!
And for god's sakes, devil woman, stop with the non sequiturs. I can't keep up!
So, let it be known across all the lands that today, people, today I might take her DOWN! Or force feed her the damn little trays of cabbage. That ought to shut her right up!
Huh. You'd think I'd be feelin' guilty about sharin' the hate with my mom this morning. But you know something? I don't! It feels good to be imagining kicking her little ass out the car door! You might want to keep your t.v. turned to CNN for breaking news from Minnesota!
