Still sick...

I am not feeling well at all and mostly stay in bed. I don’t want to go anywhere when ill. We did manage to get out for fun on Saturday. We went to New York City to see Santa at my FIL’s old firehouse. I thought we were just going to see Santa, stay awhile and go. There was more to it though and so was an entire party with toms of food, a hired carriage that took us around the block for free. It was hired by the fire house for three hours so all could take a ride, and was defiantly used. Greg had never been on a carriage so it was special for him. This was more of a cart than a carriage and was very fun. They also had a choir and a magician that was entertaining. The children had al lot of fun. Also my FIL was just grinning from ear to ear. I have never seen him so happy before. Usually it is hard to say what he is feeling and Greg has to translate to me, but I knew how much fun he was having. Also he grew up in the neighborhood and pointed out where he lived as a child (building gone though) and when he was first married (building still there). We were supposed to go to my brothers after but it ended later than we thought and the roads were so bad we skipped that party. Also my brother said it was going to break up before we got there so we just went home. Probably better in the long run with the bad roads.

Sunday we stayed at home as the storm made driving bad. I just will not go out with the children when the roads are bad. Nothing is worth it. We can make do with what we have here, and I know god does not want us to risk our children’s future to go to mass. I worked with Developmentally Disabled adults that became that way after a car accident as a small child, so I know first hand what can go wrong. Sad thing is they also knew they were normal before the accidents and are angry that it happened. So I stay at home in bad weather.

Lara once again put up a fuss about going to school today. She only has a full day today and a half day tomorrow, but she doesn’t even want to do that. Her behavior is getting worse. She now even poops in her pants on the weekend whether she is in a pull up or underwear. She has a lot more baby noises now too. All of this just points to Asperger’s to me as I dealt with that when I worked with the developmentally disabled adults. I just don’t know what to do. On one hand I do not want to baby her, but on the other I do not want to be too hard on her either. I have to walk a fine line.

Anthony is doing well. He is building all kinds of elaborate roads and buildings with his Lego’s. He made a building yesterday that looks like the Empire State building. We have seen Elf a few times this past week and so I think he got it from the movie. I was impressed of how well he did it. He was playing on a piano on Saturday at the party and sounding fairly well. He might have a knack for music and so I will take down my old organ and let him at it. We try not to praise him too much as Lara gets jealous.

Greg is OK. He was good this weekend and kept the children busy while I got thing done such as wrapping the presents. He also had to do all the shoveling, as I am ill. Usually I do that but not now that I am ill. My midriff really hurts now and my chest is as well. I do not want t see the doctor until after Christmas though. We have an appointment with the Pulmonologist on the thirtieth so I think I can hold off until then. No TTCing this cycle as I ma just too ill. I didn’t even bother to record the EWCM or anything. My finger is also hurting me. I poked it with a needle while mending pants on Friday and now I have this painful bubble on the tip. It hurts all the time and especially when I tough things with it. Not sure what it is, but it sure does hurt.
