I have been meaning to write, but....
Excuses, excuses as to why I haven't written lately and none of them are good ones. I have to admit I have been in a bit of a funk lately - there has been so much rain and darkness I was starting to feel like I was living in a big dark cloud myself. Procrastinating about everything, especially laundry and housework and writing in my LJ.
The sun finally came out today and little yesterday early evening, even though the wind was blowing at about 35 mph both days. It is amazing how the sun makes my mood so much better! A bit nippy out there though.
Last night I went to opening night for the Baltimore Orioles and it was a lot of fun, albeit cold - very cold. (Plus they beat Boston 7 -2!!) My old roommate called at the last minute with the tickets. Hubby was great to watch Samuel so that I could go. It was a bit tricky with the nursing since he won't take a bottle, but it worked out great. I nursed him at 6:30 and put him to bed with the window blinds pulled down and the curtains closed. I couldn't believe it - he slept until 5:30 this morning! I usually put him to bed at 7:30, but I guess with the time change his schedule was a little out of whack.
Anyway - I am hoping for a few nice weather days so that we can get outside for a walk. I get so tired of being inside!
Had to take Samuel to the doctor today due to a rash on his cheeks and his belly. It turns out that he has eczema on his face and prickly heat on his belly - he is one hot baby - sweating all of the time. SO.. I just have to keep him a bit cooler. It is not like our house is an oven or anything, he just sweats alot! I have to stop giving him yogurt for a few days to see if the eczema clears up and I have to rub Cortaid on his cheeks 2 times a day for 3 days. He doesn't seem to mind it as long as he can study the box that the Cortaid came in! He loves cardboard as well as crinkly things! He is so funny! But I guess most babies are, especially to their mommas!
Gotta hit the hay as they say- tomorrow's class will be discussing gay marriages. Fun. Only 6 more weeks of this class left. Hopefully the 2 classes (Beginning Counseling and Assessment Skills and the Internship class) I teach next semester will be something I enjoy teaching more than this one. This one has been a good experience, I will give it that!
