I had a weigh-in at Weight Watchers today and lost 1.2 more pounds. I was totally shocked, considering I've been on a stress-eating binge for most of this week. Hopefully by next week I'll make it to the 10 pound mark and can buy some new clothes.
When I picked Shaun up from school today, his teacher told me that she thought his new ADHD med is too much. She said he was sluggish and tired-acting all day. It was awful! His speech was slurred and he looked like he was high on something. I'll definitely be calling his doctor back on Monday and getting a lower dose. Right now Shaun and his dad are at a football game. I had 2nd thoughts about sending him, but he really wanted to go. Chris is going to watch him carefully and bring him home if he gets too tired. I hate that he has to take medicine like this. It is sooo hard to find what works the best. I also found out yesterday that I was giving him the wrong dosage for his seizure meds. I was giving him 25 mgs, and the prescription called for 125 mgs. Apparently the doctor had written 2 prescriptions- 1 for 25 mgs and another for 100 mgs and only gave me the one for 25 mgs. No wonder Shaun's been having staring spells! I felt horrible about it, but everyone- doctor, nurse, pharmacist- said it wasn't my fault. Anyway, he's taking the correct amt now, so that's what matters.
Shaun, Jordan, and I went to the park today and saw some old friends while we were there. It was nice to have some adult conversation with someone other than my sister. Not that I don't love her-she's my "BF"- but it was nice all the same.
The house is so quiet. Jordan's in bed and the others are at the game. Maybe I'll turn in early and get caught up on my sleep. Or maybe I'll start my weekend housework. Wow, what possiblities! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
