Sleepiest of Weeks

Sam has had hand foot and mouth for awhile. I guess he had a fever on Monday the 18th. But then no other symptoms. But by Wednesday he was drooling like crazy and miserable. Thursday night he woke up every 45 minutes! He slept poorly for another 5 or 6 nights. Even now, two weeks later, his sleep patterns are disrupted. He was always such a good little sleeper. I'd put him down at 7 and then not a peep til 530, unless he was sick or teething. 
Now I put him down but he doesn't settle. I have to go back up. He usually still needs tylenol to sleep. And he still wakes up a couple times through the night. Poor baby boy. 
I caught hand foot and mouth from him. So for me it popped up a week after him. First I had the fever, then two days later the mouth sores. They were under my tongue and they hurt so bad I could hardly talk. Then my throat. That was awful. I am so glad to be past that. 
Right now it is 3:30. I've been up since 2:20. First it was Liam who couldn't sleep. Gave hum zyrtec (he has bad sniffly allergies) and got him settled.  Then Sam woke up. Got Sam down; Liam needed me again. Then Sam started wailing (he's been congested for a few days). Got Sam Tylenol and now I'm holding him. 

These are exhausting days but I am so content. I love these boys and this life beyond measure!

Keto 2022 Style

 So I spent most of 2022 saying "I'm starting keto this week..." and like, never. actually. starting.  It is really hard for me to give up indulgences. It was really hard for me to just start. I was at a pretty high weight all summer, and yet I couldn't give up the treats to just cut back or lose a few pounds. It is really hard for me to do that.  So how did I start again? And why did it take? I have NO idea. I don't really even remember how long ago I started? A Sunday? I don't know. I do know HOW I started.  I ate: 2 hard boiled eggs, a salad with grilled chicken and a low sugar yogurt, a Sargento snack pack for snack and a low carb dinner. I ate the exact same thing the next day. I resolved  myself to absolutely NO cheating, because sugar causes a desire for more sugar. Sugar in me triggers inflammation, which wants more sugar to feel better.  I also cut out gluten. Which I think has had such a significant impact on my progress.  This week a day for...

Sunday thoughts

  Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. Isaiah 1:27 find this quote to really correlates what's going on in the world today where people are turning away from religion and yet still pointing fingers. They're blaming the immigrants they're blaming the people who are separated from their kids and that they're not loving them the way that God has taught us to love people and I just wish that God would surely bring his spirit and his grace
