Getting a Little Better

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

I seem to be getting over the funk I had the other day. I’m mixing up our routines, giving Gavin have a bit more freedom and letting him “help” me more. I’ve also been trying to be more active with him after dinner since I think he was getting bored.
He’s still acting like a PITA but I think most of that is because he’s 3. Hopefully my new outlook and plan will help all of us out here.

In other news, the At-Home Dad Convention is November 3rd. I’m planning on going again this year, it’s a good time!

Burnt Out & Dried Up

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

I have been feeling like crap lately, I’m not sleeping well and I really don’t have any energy, I’m getting tired of doing the same things over and over with Gavin and his new independent attitude isn’t helping. I don’t have any patience with him at all any more and blow up at him for the silliest things. Every day around 11:30-Noon I get the worst tension headache up my neck and over the top of my head and it usually doesn’t go away until 4 or so (after he’s napped for 3 hours)

I don’t know if its just a result of being home with him for over three years, if it’s because I have to deal with a three year old all day or I know that it’s getting darker soon and the time change isn’t far away but I really don’t have much motivation to do much of anything.

Guess it’s time to stock up on St. John’s Wort again.

New Yummy Treat

Monday, September 10th, 2007

Gavin has a new favorite snack, wasabi encrusted dried peas. I picked some up at the fruitstand today and he won’t stop eating them! I guess it kinda makes sense since another thing he enjoys is dipping pretzels and his fingers into Koop’s Arizona Heat mustard.

What a goofy kid, but at least he likes flavor!
