The Drive Home

Sunday was a two star day 
Things are still feeling good! I was able to drive home from the in-laws house without being drowsy. I was afraid I would get tired staring at the road for almost two hours. Daughter stayed awake, without a movie to watch, and we talked a lot of the way. We talked about money and the presidents that were on the money. We also talked about the order of the first few presidents. Daughter has been learning a lot about money at school, and she has these puzzle piece flashcards that match the number and pictures of the coins.

Monster also stayed awake, but wasn’t happy. It was his nap time, but he just didn’t sleep. He whined about being hungry and thirsty a lot. I am glad he is learning sign language so we can figure out exactly what he wants first try. He knows how to sign “milk”, “all done” (but rarely) and now “eat”. We need to work on “eat” because he uses it for both food and drink. I am still happy about it though, it gives enough of a clue.

As I was nearing home, depression started in. By the time I was in the house, I was feeling pretty badly. I was moping and trying to ignore the world with a little Guitar Hero 3. The rest of the evening was a low-grade depression. I watched some TV with the family, and once it was getting to bed time, everyone went upstairs while I vegged out on the couch downstairs. I also had to cook dinner for myself and the kids, Husband announced that he would not be cooking, or eating any of what I was going to make. This is a stress, I almost never do the cooking.

I ended the day with a nice, long shower and hoped for a better tomorrow.
