But as I've learned a thousand times over, just when you feel like you get this crazy little life in order, and master a plan for tackling what was supposed to be an utterly stressful and crazy week, plans change.
(In comes the start of poopy diapers)...
We got a call from daycare around ten yesterday morning. Cruz had had four runny diapers since we dropped him off; therefore, he needed to be picked up. Happy and seemingly healthy, our smiley boy was exiled from daycare for 24 hours (do I get a discount for this???). Meanwhile, as I'm trying to arrange a place for my sophomores to go and figure out how the heck I'm going to make this all work, I get an offer to attend a conference in D.C. in July. A conference that just happens to fall on the same week of my follow-up conference I was supposed to attend tomorrow. Hmm...
I phone Beau because that's what I do when I'm stressed. And because I'm absolutely terrible at making decisions on the fly and expect others to make them for me, I get mad at Beau for not helping my dilemma. Sometimes I feel like I'm not ready for all these big kid decisions...
Well, needless to say, I used my sub plans. Skype, however, will not be needed. I traded in my eCurriculum Conference in Des Moines for a date with my little boy. He had a mad total of nine runny diapers yesterday (as if you really needed to know that), and I still haven't determined if he's sick, teething, or recovering from the Easter weekend and a little too much apple juice. It's times like these when I realize I'm still so new at this whole mom thing.
One day at a time.
Ashley,
ReplyDeleteBoth of my little boys have had problems with runny diapers when they're teething and when they get introduced to juice. Put the two together... disaster. :) If he's not running a fever and he's not fussy -- I don't think you have to worry about sickness. Just enjoy this extra time with him! :)
