The Lazy Diary

My exercising and yoga have all gone to the wind.  I'm so mad at myself because doing them was making me feel so fantastic.  Why is it that I know if I walk and do yoga, I'm going to be energized and feel great, yet I can't bring my lazy ass to do them?

What I'm doing is spiraling downwards, back into my old lazy habits and into my depression.  This is NOT good at all.  Not good for me or my family.  Right now my baby boy needs me to be in tip top shape because he's not.  He's having so many problems in school and it's rough on everyone.

He's being defiant in school, constantly yelling, getting sent to the VP's office and even got sent home early one day because his disruptions are out of hand.  We went to see his neuro-developmental pediatrician (she's a GREAT doctor) and she started him on ADHD meds because that is the type of behavior he is exhibiting.  We haven't changed his Autism diagnosis to ADHD yet, but I see it coming in his near future.

I was also inform last month at his neurology visit that he has a small area of brain damage in his right frontal lobe.  It's where they had to retract that part of the brain to gain access to his tumor.  I knew this could possible happen and I'm not upset, things could have been so much worse.  But the doctor said this damage is permanant.  So his case worker at school is looking into the possiblity of changing his Autism diagnosis to Traumatic Brain Injury as his primary diagnosis with ADHD as a secondary, likely caused by the TBI.

So much is going on in our home, with Glenie alone, it's so much stress.  I have to make sure I keep up on my meds to be able to deal with it all.  I do need to get back to some form of exercise because it makes me feel good and that is what I need in my life right now.

Time to talk about Sara, we can't forget about her.  But there's not much to say.  She's doing great.  She's happy and getting along very well with Glenie, which I know means the world to her.  She adores her brother.  She's home with me during the day while Glenie is at school and she's so good for me.  She's really maturing.  She does have one bad habit thought - she's addicted to junk food!  Ick!

Current Mood: Sad

And it's not ALL due to my laziness. Glenie got sent home from school (again) on Wednesday, he spit up a bit and possibly had pink eye.  I took him to the doctor and he does indeed have pink eye.  FUN FUN FUN  Luckily it's very mild but the boy won't let me put drops in his eye. So he's home until Monday and with Glen having to go to physical therapy for his shoulder after work, there hasn't been any time to go to the laundromat.  Add to all that the fact that I'm EXHAUSTED daily and I don't think it's ever going to get done.  Oh well!

This appropriate tidbit was posted by a dear friend of mine and certainly applies to me. Multi-slacking

I know you've heard of multi-tasking but have you ever heard of multi-slacking??multi-slacking: the act (or art) of performing multiple non-productive tasks at once. The best multi-slackers simultaneously talk on the phone, surf the web and break up preschooler cat fights. I think that pretty much sums me up!

Obviously I don't mind so much! Although the reason why makes me feel bad. I was dressing Glenie for school. I stand him on the coffee table as it makes life much easier. When he lifted his leg to put in his pants he somehow slipped back. He obviously didn't have a good hold of me like he usually does and I tried to grab him, only to make matters worse by scratching him under his arm instead. Glenie was very upset after this and opted not to go to school. So I have both kids home today and I have no intentions of going to the laundromat with both of them. So laundry waits until this evening after husband gets home.

Laundry really, really needs to be done but one thing or another has stood in my way (mainly my laziness). So last night I had to run out and get my son new undies because all his were dirty and I was NOT doing laundry on Sunday. Laundromats are crazy on the weekend. I intended to do laundry today, or some of it, after my doctors appointment today. But my son got sent home from school, he wasn't feeling well, so that stopped todays laundry. So I had to run out to get him something to wear to school. At least that turned out well. I happen to find a beautiful $98 coat on sale for $4.99! Anyway, that was my lazy day. Tomorrow, laundry is a MUST. Lets see what else this lazy mom can get done.
