Let's see, I was correct about being on the verge of starting my period, and can I just say that I have had the worst cramps of my life. I ended up taking a pain pill on Monday. I have never had cramps like that before. It was horrible, and it spread through my body like a virus. My lower back felt as if it were breaking splinter by splinter - not to mention the PRESSURE. The it was like sciatica set in because my entire left leg was numb with pain. My hips, knees, and ankles were screaming with pain, and to top it all off my right arm was in shocking pain. From the bottom of my shoulder blade, wrapping over the top of my shoulder and down to my elbow was excrutiating. It was horrible. I took tylenol all day until JR got home before I finally took a hydrocodeine. I dont know if it helped or if I just think it did because it made me pass out!
Landry is probably the sweetest baby in the world, but she has been a red headed monster for the last two days!She wants to be held ALL the time - which I refuse to do. She crawls to wear I am, pulls herself up and proceeds to throw a fit, complete with makes fists so tight that she shakes. She bites down and clenches her jaws, which also causes shaking, and then she will smack her hands against whatever it it she is holding on to. I have tried ignoring it, and distraction. Distraction works about 50% of the time. Ignoring her NEVER works. She is stubborn and will continue to scream at me until I do something.
She has also taken up irritating her brother! I have to admit, I find it more than funny. Logan will be sitting on the floor playing with his cars, or Woody, Buzz, and Jessie and Landry will sneak up and take one of his toys! Hahahaha. Logan will immediately take the toy back, lay down and basically cover all his toys while saying, "No sissy, No, No, NO. Sissy NO" hahaha She will just wait until he gets up and do it again! It's hilarious. Although I think its funny, I stop it after a few minutes. She also tries to annoy him when he is on the computer. She will go behind the computer and move the screen. Logan has the same reaction, as do I. I laugh, then I move her to another area and give her some more toys. I feel bad for the little girl though...all the toys she plays with are Logans. I haven't really bought her many, so I am going to go get her 2 new ones on Friday...but what do I even get???
Finally, last night was the WORST night of sleep ever! Okay not ever, but in the last month, maybe two months. Because of my cramps I asked JR to take care of Landry because she was fussing at 7:00. Instead of changing her diaper and giving her a bottle, he decided to take her to bed. I knew it was a bad idea - but I was in pain and a little loopy. I told him not to put her to bed yet and he ignored me, so I said that when she woke up, it was his responsibily to take care of her. Of course, she woke up at 8:30...and he went to change her and feed her (I am sure he thought she would go right back to sleep). At 9:00 he emerged from upstairs with Landry in tow. I was upset that he had changed the schedule of things, but what could I say? At 9:30 I gave her a small bottle, and changed her and took her back to bed...hoping and praying that this stray from our normal routine has not really messed things up...we will see. I went to bed at 10:00 and was woken up 6 times from the time I went to sleep until 6:30 this morning when Landry woke up (which is OFF schedule, because she usually wakes up between 7:00 and 7:15) but what could I expect, considering her night time schedule was messed up. Anyway the cramps are back in full force and I am soooo ready for this to be over!!!
I have mentioned before that Logan is in love with Disney.com he plays everyday. I feel bad sometimes because I love the fact that he is developing new skills. He has figured out how to use the computer for the games...he even knows to hit the "E" button for the internet. Then to control the mouse to the browser and type in DIS and hit the down arrow key to get to the website. It amazes me that my 3 year old is capable of doing this. I also like that he plays several different games, and he has to figure out how to win them. HOWEVER, I have always said that I dont want my kids playing video games all day long, so I make hime turn it off after 30 minutes. He usually objects to this, but I think is now catching on to the rythym of things. He can then play in his room or in the living room...but I try to encourage him to play outside. We will all go out there and try to have a good time...but it is HOT, and Landry doesn't have a lot to do out there, so I try to take care of this during her nap time! We also go to the pool quite a bit and to the river, so that helps. But my rule is that he can play for 30 minutes, and then has to spend the next hour doing something else. Before he can get back on the game he must pick up all the toys he has gotten out. Like I said, there is usually an argument but I think he is catching on. I love it when an hour has gone by and he isn't begging me for the game...but none the less, I am incredibly proud of him!
