Hope that today is a Ho Hum Day!

I know that that statement does not sound very good BUT after yesterday's excitement I want a very blah bland day.  Yesterday morning Jonathon came complaining that his neck hurt.  He had been up several hours and I had heard no bumps or bangs.  I just said I was sorry and kept on going.  In just a minute he was back and whining that his neck hurt.  I tried to rub it and he wouldn't let me touch it.  I quizzed him and he said that he was just watching TV.  In just another minute he was back in tears and it quickly went downhill from there.  He almost never cries, really cries, and it scared me.  I did everything that I could think of for him, including Tylenol, and nothing helped.  I called and called the pediatrician's office but couldn't get through.  I finally dressed him and left, in my cleaning clothes mind you, headed towards Huntsville and the Dr's office.  I got through to them and the nurse said to come on.  I had visions of meningitis and other horrible illnesses and THEN remembered that he had been in the woods Sunday so tick fever popped in there as well.  The Dr checked him out thoroughly and said that he had a crick in his neck.  That's all.  Actually, it's a big deal when it's a child because they won't work the muscles.  Sent us home with kiddie dose of liquid LoraTab.  Evidently it tastes nasty.  He had a good night's sleep and is still not moving as much as he should but refuses more medicine. 

Also last night DH came in and announced that he and several other guys at work are thinking about looking for work in the north Metro Atlanta area.  They are talking about staying in lake house during the week and coming home on the weekends.  I was extremely upset about it last night but am a little calmer now.  If there is a group it should be okay.  I had a flashback to how it was when I was here working and taking care of his family alone while he was still closing down the shop.  I sometimes think that he would still be in SC if I hadn't demanded he come here when I found out I was pregnant.  I am a little afraid that this could be the end of the marriage.....We didn't do separation very well last time.  I also have a fear that he will get back up there with all his single buddies and start going out and find a girlfriend.  I don't know if this is silly or not.  I do know that it has a lot to do with my self image.

And lastly, I got on the scales this morning really hoping that I had lost at least one pound.  I know that I weighed on Monday so it's a little unrealistic to hope for but.....I hadn't.  On the plus side I didn't gain.  I don't know how much exercise I am going to get in the next few months because I have so much stitching to do in order to get ready for Christmas. 

Hope everyone has a good food day!
