I couldn't go to school today. JR was up half the night crying. He has real bad allergies and eczema and they were acting up. The only time he wasn't crying was when he would scratch. I had given him Zyrtec earlier but I broke down and gave him more and he finally went to sleep at 2am, in our bed. So since he was in our bed sleeping we were not sleeping. I am so glad he sleeps in his own bed, usually. We have tried everything for the eczema and nothing works great. Luckily we live in a part of the country that has high humidity and warm weather. It doesn't bother him in the summer, as much, just for a couple of months in the winter when it is dry and cold. If anyone has any suggestions on the eczema please share them with me.
Cassandra was almost in so much trouble today. She stays after school and walks home and is suppose to be home at 4p. Today she wasn't home at 5p so I get dressed and start to get JR dressed and she walks in the door all happy. I cant believe it. I said "you are in so much trouble. What time do you get out of school?" She says "4p" and I said "What time is it now?" She says "5p" and I said "that is why you are in so much trouble." and then she says "but mom, you said I could stop at the Valentine party at the office." Oh yeah, I forgot, must be the pregnancy :) I felt really bad for being mad at her.
John had to work all day today. He did let my practice drawing blood on him yesterday, and I got him. He has also let me give him a few shots, what a good sport.
To end the day we did take the kids for a car ride to get JR to sleep. That is the easy way. We were at home in bed by 10p. Yeah. What a long day, it always starts at 6am.
