Oct 12
It feels like it's taken me this far in the week to get caught up enough at work that I actually feel like I was productive during the day....the last two days were coping mostly, and learning. I'm finally getting it by today.
Still, I'm feeling much better about being there, than I have in while.
It's interesting to me, but no surprise, how much I think about and miss my family during the work day. I probably think about both Martyn and Eli at least every 5 minutes.
What blessings they both are! I wish I could help Eli get better. Monday morning he says to me as he's getting ready to walk out the door, "do you think I should stay home?" I could tell he was feeling pretty miserable. I asked if he had a fever, and he did not so he decided to go to work. He then texted me about 7:45 or so, telling me he was going home to sleep. I was glad he did. I had already taken Martyn the baby sitter, so there was no conflict there....he needed that sleep to help him heal for the rest of the week. It's frustrating when your loved ones are ill and you can't do much to help them, other than make them as comfortable as possible.
We're trying a new experiment this week....I took all the toys out of the playpen in the living room and put all of Martyn's bedding down in it. He's sleeping in the living room now. So far, it's going pretty good. I'm hoping to get him used to this so we can have our bedroom back indefinitely. We'll see how it goes.
