The week started out rough, but is a lot better!
Eric got up early to catch his flight on Monday morning and left for the airport. Right after he left, I got up to use the bathroom and my back was not any better. It almost seemed worse, and I was terrified of being alone with the kids. I went in to try and pick up Violet, but could not lean over. I called Eric sobbing and he turned around and came home. I still feel guilty that he had to miss his trip, but I don't know what I would have done without him here.
I rested most of Monday, and felt a lot better on Tuesday. I'm almost 100% today and Eric went back to work this morning. We enjoyed a visit from Duncan's teacher this morning, just so he can get used to her and won't be distraught when he gets to school and thinks I'm leaving him with a stranger. He warmed up to her quickly, especially since we've met her at the park a few times with other kids from his class. I know he's going to love it. :o)
Violet must be going through a growth spurt or something. She's been sleeping through the night (for which I am thankful, since my back issues made middle-of-the-night feedings rough) ... yesterday morning she didn't get up until almost 9! Took a good nap, but fought going to bed last night like crazy! I don't think she really settled down until 8:30 or so. She was up this morning before 8, which is normal, but was ready for nap by noon. It's 4:00 now and she's just starting to kick in her bed. That's a 4 hour nap!!! Interested to see how bedtime goes. I have a meeting at Waldorf tonight at 6 ("new parent orientation" - though this is our 3rd year of parent-child; I guess it's really for students who are going to be there more than one day a week), so Eric will be on his own until I get back.
Spaghetti for the rest of the family tonight. I'll probably make a smoothie and take it with me. Yummy!
I've just started reading a book called Buddhism for Mothers: A Calm Approach to Caring for Yourself and Your Children. I'm not necessarily looking for a spiritual awakening or anything, but the title speaks to me! We'll see. I'm only a few pages in.
