Well, things have been busy in our house. The kids seem to spend a lot of time fighting each other. Hubby spends time at the doctors and I have been adding some hours for work.
Hemotologist says if hubby's white blood count and platelets don't get better, he wants to do a bone marrow test. When hubby tells me, I reply "With what I have heard, you will not look forward to it." I am very worried about him because since his liver transplant, he is still very tired and just not up to par. He is now on B12 injections again. Renal doctor had him see the nutritionist . He is on prescription potassium and eats tons of bananas and still his levels are low. In my mind, I think the Crohn's has a lot to do with it as he just poops everything out within 20 minutes after eating. His attitude is still the same, which is good. He is still a smart aleck and still makes his usual very dry remarks, that can leave you scratching your head :)
My daughter has been experiencing her usual mood swings and beats up her brother. Man, for a 7 yr old, she packs a punch! He is bigger then me and is constantly screams 'Help mommy!" She still ignores us when we ask her to pick up her things and constantly wants to go back to acting like a baby. When her brother gets into her things and she gets mad and screams at him, then tattles to me, my reply is "Well honey, you do not like it, do you." Tearfully, she replies "No." I end it with a sympathetic hug and say "That is the way mommy and daddy feel when you get into our things and take them."
Last night, I heard her up and not sure what time she crawled into bed.
I was awake around 1:00AM this morning as my son was up and getting into everything. He usually sleeps peacefully when he takes his Melatonin and so I wonder if his staying awake had something to do with the Vitamin D3 I started him on. I know it gives me energy. I read an article on D3 and Autism and how studies indicate it is good for cognition and a host of other ailments. Here is the link about it:

Now, when I got up finally at 2:30AM this morning, because I could no longer sleep, I went into the kitchen and noticed poop on the floor leading to our room. Well, I gotta tell you, just by looking at it, I knew it belonged to my sweet daughter. She has done this before when upset with her brother and then blames him. There is something though about us moms, they don't realize : We usually know our kid's poop! Sure enough this morning, she blamed him..
So far, aside for me being a bit tired, my morning is ok. At least the kids are not fighting. Hubby is at the renal doctor. My daughter wanted to make a cake and got out the cake mix and did it all by herself. After pouring the batter into the cake pan, she asked em to put it in oven for her. I noticed a small bit of batter still in the bowl and she informed me it was 'the frosting'. I asked if she remembered to grease the pan and when she told me no, I told her it was ok, we can deal with that.:) Cake gets done and she dishes some up for her and brother. I told her I had to have at least 1 taste of it, She looked so proud as I tasted it. I told her what a great cook she was and how proud I am of her learning these things. It was really good:) Anyway, it was much better than her first concoction this morning of milk, p nut butter, a load of cinnamon, a ton of sugar and sliced apples all nuked in a bowl. Of course, the mess she made and promised to clean up, is still waiting for me.
Right now, she is doing some art work in an area I have told her not to use and is happy as a clam. I bet she does not clean it up, so it will end up in a bag and going bye bye for awhile.
I need to get back to my work of scrubbing my son's room and trying to wade through her room. We are moving things around in our home. She is moving into a bigger bedroom that hubby has been using for an office. I am having my own bedroom in her room and hubby is moving his office to our master suite, where he will have plenty of room. After all this is done, the kids will no longer be able to go into our now bedroom and get into things and they won't be able to go through my things and get on my computer. Lots of things that have no use and extra clutter things are leaving our home. My daughter was upset about some of her things having to leave. I finally told her that I know it is hard for her to pick up so many things so, we are going to make it more manageable for her. She seemed OK with that.......until next time, have a great day.
