Thank you to all who’ve prayed/wished Eenan a quick recovery . It really, truly means a lot.

I’ve been an emotional mess today. I was okay in the morning. Got up, got Eenan ready, got myself and Jaylen ready and I took him to school. Came back home, made breakfast for Jaylen and I, stuck Mario’s shirt in to wash then dry, woke Mario up and made him breakfast, packed his lunch, ironed his shirt and we hugged/kissed goodbye and he left for work. That’s my typical morning. Jaylen was in a really good mood and was playing contently so I came online and caught up with a few things. (I’m still not done converting the rest of the pages. About 50% of the site is still un-converted. Great!) Jaylen fell asleep around noonish and I picked stuff up off the floor and watched some TV, then when he woke up I got our lunch ready, cleaned up some more, made about 15 lego houses and robots that he continuously broke apart, then got him re-dressed (he’d totally naked-ed himself except for his diaper) since Tommy would be picking us up when Eenan got out of school to drop us off for his X-ray appointment. At 3:40, they got here and we left. Eenan fell asleep on the way over and when we got there he was extremely moody. He screamed his head off and said he didn’t want to go to the doctor again (the X-ray place was right next door to Dr. Z’s office) because they take forever. When I opened the door to pull him out, he threw himself out and RAN ACROSS THE PARKING LOT! I quickly thanked Tommy for dropping us off and dragged Jaylen along with me to grab Eenan. We were SO lucky a car or truck wasn’t coming. I don’t even want to THINK about what could have happened. I already lectured him about not crossing streets/parking lots without holding an adult’s hand and how something really awful could have happened today, just because he decided to throw a tantrum. He scared the crap out of me .
We weren’t at the appointment long. We were in and out in less than 20 minutes. The tech was really nice and was making the kids laugh. He even gave them stickers! They didn’t do that at the other place. When we got out, Mary was already waiting for us. She made a few stops, picked up Happy Meals for the boys and then we ate at home. I helped Eenan with his homework when he was done, gave him his medicines, set the crock-pot for Mario’s lunch tomorrow and took Jaylen with me to the store to get some milk and eggs. Eenan was playing Halo 2 since I promised him he could if he was good, and I gave him his nebulizer treatment while he played. I washed dishes, then told him to stop playing and that’s where the tantrum began. I already knew he’d throw a fit. He turns the game off, then tells me he wanted a new mom. Excuse me?? I don’t know what it was…being tired from running around all day, or just hearing my son say that to me, I don’t know…but I just started bawling and told him to go to his room. He starts crying saying, “I’m sorry, Mom!! I don’t want a new Mom! I want YOU! Oh no! You’re crying! Don’t cry Mom!!” Which made me bawl even more. I made myself stop crying and told him he hurt my feelings. He quickly appologized, ran to the bathroom to get me some toilet paper and wrapped himself around me and we just sobbed together for a little bit. I told him I loved him and he told me and we hugged and he went off to play. He came back a few minutes later and again told me he loved me and didn’t want a new mom. Poor thing. I must have scared him when he saw me crying. I know I overreacted, but I was just so exhausted, then hearing him say that, I broke down. I need to get over this! This…I don’t know what it is. This hormonalness? I cried again when Mario called and told me he didn’t have Friday off afterall. I cried over that. I bathed the boys and made Mario a quick dinner. He went to feed Rick’s animals because they’re on vacation for 3 weeks! The boys are about to brush their teeth, then I’ll read them a story and off to bed they go. Then, maybe, just maybe, I can rest.
