What doesn't kill me.....
:sigh: Yes that is really how I feel. i just want to eat everything in my kitchen.
I'm not hungry... I'm not necessarily bored... I'm just exhausted and stressed. Ayleigh is sick again and i really don't like her doctor very much. He's not a "bad" doctor.. but his bedside manner is horrible.
I thought I was going to have an upper hand on this cold this time. Ayleigh has allergy induced asthma and this is her worst time of year. So last month when her allergies/asthma acting up... she went back on all her meds. A week after I got it under control, she got a cold. I kept her on all her meds even after the cold was over because everything is starting to bloom around here and she has a severe tree pollen allergy. Yesterday, she woke up with some congestion and I was like... ok... She's on all her nebulizer meds.. she's on all her allergy nose sprays.. I'll just add the mucinex and we'll be good. No.. didnt happen that way. Last night she was coughing every 10seconds and woke herself up basically.. So I got her up at 11:30pm to give her another treatment... then it happened again at like 2:30am... another treatment... fell asleep with her in the recliner for a bit, back upstairs.. basically it was a night of coughing and not sleeping.
This morning was no better.. and her doctor supposedly has saturday hours. I figured I'd take her in considering she goes to her father tomorrow for 3 days. The lady answers and tells me that he is actually not in today and so I said "then what are you doing there?"
Basically she takes messages. He called me and basically did like.. a diagnosis over the phone. Which I'm greatlful for and his suggestions are helping... But I'm just tired...
She's miserable. It's so hard to watch your child be miserable and sick. And I always feel like an unfit mother because when other kids get a cold.. it's just a cold. When she does.. it's a freaking event. If I'm not ontop of it like white on rice, then it can become a hospital event. Sometimes I just wonder why can't it be easier?
And that in itself just makes me want to eat! :break_diet:
