All of a sudden when I put Cody to bed he starts freaking out and screaming hysterically. He doesn't have the words to tell me what's wrong but clearly he's afraid. Once he pointed to the window. All these things pop up when you're a parent that puzzle you and make you think what the heck do we do now? We tried telling him he's safe, showing him the window just has a darkness covering on it to make it dark when he sleeps, etc. The only thing that works so far is staying in his room with him while he falls asleep and then sneaking out. This can take a WHILE. So it sucks. Not sure what else to do. Mike tried a night light last night but that didn't work.

I felt really gassy at work last night for some reason and was in the bathroom a lot and every once in a while I would get like 30 seconds of stomach pain. It was so weird. I left as early as I could. I work a 6 hour shift but as long as my work gets done I can leave whenever I want. I just only get paid for the hours I'm there. Then this morning I woke up feeling much worse probably because of the exhaustion on top of the sickness. So Mike came home from work and watched the kids (he leaves at 6am) while I slept. I didn't feel great but it was so luxurious to just lie in bed and get up whenever I wanted lol. It wasn't as bad as a flu or anything like that. I am still having occasional stomach pains like that but it might be like 30 seconds of pain every hour or so. I am paranoid it's something serious but I don't even know what it could be.

We have been having such rainy, cold weather this week. It's 14 out right now. So I haven't been out much with the kids. I just never know when it's going to pour. I think next week will be better. I'm still getting used to being tired so I'm also less motivated to get out. Really gotta get my butt moving though. Soon enough we're going to be stuck inside for months.

I took Miles to his doctor appointment at his new doctor yesterday and had to turn around and go home. It turns out his previous doctor didn't fill out his immunization record properly so I have to get the old doctors office to fax the new doctors office all of his medical records before I can reschedule his appointment. Such a pain.

I am feeling better now so Mike went to baseball and I have the kids. I'm feeling so blah so I'm going to take them to the mall soon to walk around, maybe buy myself something fun and eat dinner just to do something. Cody is being such a brat lately though. I fully expect him to have at least a couple meltdowns when we're there, one of which will be in the area where the kids rides are where you put a dollar in and it goes. Cuz you know it's not enough that Mommy let's him go on one ride, he wants to ride them ALL (I think there's 6). Ugh...
