Saturday
And what a week it has been. Ds2 started football practice on Monday. I was at the dentist with Ds and they took dd since on Tues, they put us under possible "Hurricane" watch. Everyone was closing down and Tues, so the dentist squeezed her in. As we were finishing up, the trainer at the high school called me and said ds2 had gotten over-heated and he was cooling him down. I asked what he needed me to do. Do I go to the school, or hang tight? He said if they couldn't get his temp down, they would be calling EMS. EMS???!!!, he's that overheated? I will be right there! Of course, I had every red light, He called me again, they couldn't get him cooled fast enough and have called EMS!!! I can see the EMS passing as I am at yet another red light! I get there and he seems a bit loopy. I talk to him sternly and he seems to pay more attention. They gave him fluids intraveneously. By the time he got to the hospital he is on his second bag of 500. Before he can leave the hospital, they want him to have a bag of 1000. What an afternoon. He now knows to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. And eat properly. He is doing a much better job of it all. The rest of the week was better at practice, he went back on Wed., luckily everyone was off on Tues due to the tropical storm.
I have been drinking the green drink Dr. Oz recommended on Oprah. It is not bad. It is fresh. I am hoping for a loss, but the hardest thing is the afternoons and evenings. I just want to consume mass quantities of junk. I found some mint cookies in the freezer and ate about 8 of them. Now they are gone and out of the house. I just hope this stops, maybe once the schedule gets busier, I won't be at home so much with the food calling my name. Yesterday was pretty good, as I was at both high schools volunteering and helping ds1 get school books, pictures, schedule, yearbook, supplementary reading books, and locker. We both helped earlier volunteer for the students with A-L, he is M-Z, so then it was his turn. He joined a couple of clubs. I had the check book handy and was writing checks left and right.
Sorry this is so long. I hope you are doing better than me. The green drink seems to be helping a bit. Have a great weekend.
