Today I have been up since 3 a.m. My daughter has a sore throat and cold. She is having trouble sleeping. I have made the best and kept moving since we were both up. I cleaned house since my husband told me last night that he invited someone over for dinner tonight. He said he mentioned it earlier this week but he had not. I would have remmebered and not planned chicken nuggets and mac and cheese for the kids tonight. tonight I was just going to have a salad and left over turkey burger. Now I have to cook a more elegent meal. Which means I need to go to the store. My daughter who turned 3 yesterday, is currently napping. We missed preschool today and will miss ballet today due to her not feeling well and needing rest. We have a birthday party planned for Saturday. Its princess brunch themed and I will have healthy options for me. I was planning to clean house and decorate tommrorow night but I got most of it done this morning. I will just need to mop the floors and decorate/prep.
Today my husband was up too but he didnt bother to help clean. He just watched tv on his phone as usual. I swear sometimes I want to throw his phone across the room. My parents even made the comment to me years ago after my daughter was born that he spent too much time with his phone. I have mentioned to him and even taken it out of the bathroom where he was supposed to be bathing the kids and put it in another room so he could focus on our children for once. He wasnt happy but neother am I. Well enough ranting on this topic. I am upset today because he promised my son earlier this week that he would walk him to school today. At 7:45 he started to head out the door to work when his first class was not until 10 today. I asked him if he was going to walk Edward to school. He frowned and said yes. He did walk with us to school but he wasnt happy about it. I honestly would have much rather he just go to work but not keeping promises to my son can cause issues. I gently reminded he that he said he would earlier in the week. My son being autistic takes things lliterally and seriously. If you tell him you are going to do something then you better do it or we have serious meltdown issues and depression. I have learned over the past two years not to tell him we are going somewhere or doing something until I am for sure its going to happen. The one thing I could not predict was weather and sports games. Several meltdowns have occured over cancelled soccor practices. Now if it looks like it might rain out a game I start telling him days ahead of time that it might rain so the coach may cancel practice. He seems to do better in that respect.
I know this post has been mostly me ranting and venting but it makes me feel better to get these things off my chest. I have had some postive things happen this week. I am simultaneasly in a step bet challenge and for the past two weeks I am excedding my goals. I have been working out regualry and feeling great. My diet has not been optimal but I am getting back into food prep for breakfast and lunch so I am not tempted by quick and unhealthy options and it is starting to pay off. Just like yesterday my kids got up at 5 am when they heard my husband leave so I got up too and did my work out strength training video. I knew I wouldnt be able to get it done later due to a sick child not going to preschool so I felt good about crossing that off my list. While she napped just an jour ago I did another 45 minute video. I am currently drenched in sweat as I type this but feeling so good about myself. I have been going to the gym during preschool time and cranking out 35-40 minutes on the elliptical. I am building myself up to an hour and also going to work on getting back to jogging outdooors since the weather is changing.
