This week is flying by. I cannot believe it’s already Thursday! We haven’t done much at all. Last night after work/daycare, we went to get ice cream. It was a nice mid-week treat and not something that we do often. I thought it would be a nice way to break up the week though. We haven’t even played in the yard in about a week. It’s so hot that I can’t even bear having to go sit out there. We can play out there tomorrow after work though and Emerson can swim. I just need to clean the pool out. I’m being lazy about doing that.
Yesterday, I received some major news. I did not receive the job that I had interviewed for, however I was given a promotion within my department anyway. I’m happy that I am being recognized for working hard. It made me feel good and was certainly motivating. I know I hardly write about work in here, but work makes me feel whole. Yes, being a mom does too, but this place gives me a different feeling and one that I am very proud of. I’ve been asking for the opportunity to grow and develop for about a year. I’ve maxed myself out in the role that I currently hold and it’s just time to pass the torch onto someone else. That was recognized yesterday. It was a good day and now I am just excited to see what the future holds!
This week, I jumped back onto the workout bandwagon. As a result, I am so freaking sore! Last night, I had to take a rest and not workout. My stomach has been bothering me for a couple days. That mixed with muscle soreness sold me. My stomach is still bothering me today though! I just want to stay motivated, so that I can get in a workout tonight, then clean the pool out. We’ll see what happens, but cross your fingers for me. I don’t want to fall off already after just a couple of days in.
This weekend, we’re going to the waterpark on Saturday and then going to the lake on Sunday. It’s going to be 90+ degrees out! Hot, hot, hot! I need to get Emerson some water shoes for the lake. He did NOT like the way the sand felt on his feet last time, so I think this will make it a lot better. The best part is both excursions are free. We just need to pack a lunch for both. I usually cave and buy Emerson ice cream at the lake though. It’s only a couple of bucks, so that shouldn’t be an issue.
Next week, Emerson and I are staying home on Tuesday and Wednesday. My nephew was originally supposed to come home on Monday, but now that’s been moved to Friday. On Tuesday, we’re just going to the spray park and we’ll probably swim in my parent’s pool. On Wednesday, we’re going to Living Treasures to see all of the animals. That’ll be cute. Em loved it last year, so hopefully he loves it just as much this year. We’re checking off more things from our bucket list!
Emerson has his 30 month appointment next Friday. I am hoping he has a great check-up. I changed his pediatrician, so I ‘m curious to meet this new doctor, and see the facility. I just had a meeting with the child development specialist who is overseeing Emerson’s therapy. She said he is doing wonderfully with just 3 months under his belt. The therapists are reporting great things from him, and I am also seeing a big amount of improvement myself. We have another evaluation in October and I also have a transition meeting to move him from 1-3 to the 3-5 development. The only downfall is we lose our therapists. We’ll get new ones, but I am sad. His OT and Speech therapists have been AMAZING! I could have cried when I was told, but we still have 6 months with them. He might not even qualify for additional services after this expires. Let’s all hope for that because that’ll mean his therapy put him right where he needs to be developmentally.
Okay, that’s all I have. My poor stomach is REALLY bothering me L I cannot stand this at all. My sister was actually in the emergency room on Monday from extreme stomach pains. She thought it was her gallbladder, or her appendix. Turns out, it was just indigestion. I can tell you now, I do not have that. I know what that feels like. I have no idea what is going on, but I cannot stand this. Two days of this. I’ll see how I feel tomorrow before I jump the gun. Ugh. Have a good day, all.
