Today was not my day, really. But it wasn't bad, I guess. Somehow in the past 24 hours I have managed to (once again) 'come down with' thrush, a UTI (my first ever!) and another plugged duct. Honestly. The breastfeeding gods HATE me right now. Of course thrush is the main problem since it can cause both of the other things. Damn yeasty beasties. Thankfully I already have a routine doctor's appointment scheduled so I don't have to call and try to convince them that yes, I do indeed need to be seen sooner rather than later. Sigh. I'm sure I'll get some kind of a lecture on how don't I know it's my fault because of the way I eat? and all that jazz.
It's not my fault that I really detest most meat and vegetables. Yeast happens to thrive on dairy (how can I live without cheese and ice cream!?), bread products (yum!) and fruit (sugar sugar!). Those are pretty much the only food groups I eat from. Except potatoes. But they are starchy (and therefore the yeasty beasties find them irresistable I suppose?). Bleurgh. I hate vegetables! Wait, I love broccoli. And cucumbers. And string beans. But you know, not the rest of the vegetables (unless green peppers or onions are cooked into something like pizza, which defeats the purpose of eating vegetables because there's lots of bread-y stuff and cheese involved there....). And NO THANK YOU to meat. I like turkey and chicken okay but I do not eat meat every day. In fact, even when I make meat for dinner, I don't even usually eat it. I spend too much time thinking things like, "Oh but this used to be a clucking hen, *sniffle*." Yes, I'm a total bleeding heart. Heh.
I would not survive on the atkins diet. I guarantee I'd lose weight though! Because for me that would be like eating twice a week. I know. I know. It's no wonder my son is so picky. He did try a carrot stick yesterday, though. Which is waaaaaaay outside his comfy little box. So I'll give him that.
OOoooooh! After my ranty Riley-pooped-in-his-sleep-again(!) entry a couple back. Well okay, that was last night. But today! Woo hoo, he went on the potty! He actually factually pooped on the potty. Completely on his own, all his idea! He was soooo proud of himself and he FINALLY got to have Spencer (a train that he's been wanting but we've been holding it over his head for a poop-in-the-potty ransom). I almost cried from relief! I was actually starting to believe that he'd be 5 or 6 and still pooping in his sleep. I don't know HOW he does that, to be honest! Heavy sleeper, I suppose.
So that's where I'm at today. It was GORGEOUS out. Really, it was. Nearly 80 degrees with a steady (but super warm) breeze. If every day was like today, I would be one happy camper. Of course, if every day was like today I would take it for granted and probably bitch about how it would be nice if for just once, we had some freaking rain already! Because I'm like that, you know.
I'm on an upswing and it's fantabulous. Not good for the sleep (not that I get much anyway, and which is probably a major contributing factor in my trio of health complaints). Blah. Despite feeling the need to pee every 3 second and the super itchiness and slight pain of nursing my (very healthy and super chubby and loveable) daughter, I feel very happy indeed.
Kent was in a good mood all evening, Riley pooped in the potty, Aislyn is actually sleeping and I'm happy.... Can anyone say Twilight Zone? :)
