Mummy's scare

Ugh. I almost made it all the way through March without being sick. I have some kind of head cold/flu. It’s dreadful!!  I ended up taking a half day from work today, so that I can rest and try to get better. Now, instead of taking all of Friday off, I’m only taking a half day. I’ll still get my ME day, but resting today is more important than anything else.  I hate being sick!! Mom’s do not get sick days, so I have to take free time to rest when I can get it. Emerson is at daycare, therefore  I have this opportunity to relax. I took two small power naps. It probably wasn’t enough, but it’s something that I ordinarily wouldn’t do, so I’ll take it. I have such a hard time just laying around! I feel so unproductive. Hopefully this is the worst of how I’ll feel and tomorrow is a much better day. I don’t want Emerson getting sick!!!!

 

Last night was so bizarre. After Emerson’s bath, I put him to bed. I came downstairs, lathered up in Vick’s vapor rub, and sat down on the couch. About an hour later, Emerson started stirring. I wasn’t feeling well, so I decided to just call it a night. After I went upstairs to nurse Emerson, I heard crazy, loud pounding coming from downstairs. It sounded like someone was trying to break down my damn door. I hear a lot of shit every night, but nothing that alarms me enough to take action. This banging was unreal. It didn’t sound like a knock at the door either. It sounded like someone was breaking in. I hurried up and dialed 911. It was absolutely terrifying. All I kept thinking was “What the hell am I going to do if someone really gets in here?” My heart was freaking pounding. The cops came with k9 dogs and so many cars. They searched to make sure no one was lurking around. They found nothing. It was ridiculous. The cops informed me they had just been to my neighborhood a few days prior because my neighbors were fighting. Maybe the banging I heard was from next door? I have no idea, but if that is the case, then that’s ridiculous. The cops asked me if I thought an ex, or another neighbor would have motive to want to enter my home. I definitely don’t think that’s the case at all. I don’t think anyone has motive to do that to me at all. Maybe I’m being naïve, but I really don’t think it was a personal attack. I hope it was just the neighbors being absolutely absurd because I don’t want to have to be scared every damn night. This is my freaking home. I live here with a small child. I don’t want to have to feel uncomfortable, or scared. That’s beyond ridiculous. It does piss me off though. I don’t understand why people can’t just have respect for others and their property.

 

Emerson was so freaking upset too. He was crying and wigging the hell out. He was nursing and pretty much asleep when the cops came. I basically ripped him off my boob, so that I could let them in. I’m sure he was freaked out with strangers randomly being in our house after he was awoken from a sound sleep. Kodie tried biting one of the cops. Luckily, she didn’t attack and calmed down after a second. She’s feisty and tough for being so small. After everything calmed down and was all clear, Emerson and I went back to bed. I let Kodie and Emerson sleep in my bed last night. I felt a lot safer with Kodie upstairs with us. I wasn’t about to make Emerson sleep alone either in case something wild happened again.

 

It’s supposed to be really cold on Saturday, so I think we’re skipping the Easter Egg Hunt. I don’t feel like being out in 30 degree weather and I definitely don’t want to make Emerson be out either. We have a birthday party to go to the same day at noon, so I’m think we’ll just skip the egg hunt and only do the birthday party. On Monday, there is a community swim day at the high school that I want to take Emerson to. The only downfall is it starts at 7pm. That’s a little late for my liking, but it’s only $5 for Emerson and I and it sounds like fun.  I guess I’ll see how he is after daycare, then decide from there. Maybe I can get him to take a small nap afterwards before we head out.

 

Alright, that’s about all I have for today. I hope everyone is having a great Wednesday. Pray I get better and fast! I’m picking Emerson up in two hours. I’m due for some medicine, so hopefully that’ll carry me through the evening and I find the strength to chase him around!
