Am I Moving Forward Happiness? I think I am.....

Another week is almost gone. Yes, Thank Goodness It’s Friday.

Not only Mr. Misery left again on Tuesday morning, but my parents left at the same time for 3 months. So the Seasonal Single Parenting is getting more interesting as we speak.

Before my mom left she wasn’t feeling good and her GP suspected that she has an enlarged liver. On the day she left her tests came back and we found out that she has Celiac Disease. Yes, Celiac…..

To make matters worse her GP also informed her that all of her children should be tested as well because there is a very high possibility that if a parent is suffering from Celiac disease so are the children. Aren’t we lucky bunch?

So today I am going to get tested for Celiac disease along with my sister. The good news is that HB was tested for Celiac a year ago due to his diabetes and he is negative. Poor kid doesn’t need any more problems.

Other then that the week just flew by. This week I learned that Monday dinner should be big enough to have leftovers for Tuesday since I have a 40 minute window between figure skating and hockey practice to make dinner, eat it and get LP into his hockey gear and to the arena. I'll tell you, I was sweating bullets by the time I got home that night.

I was so happy that the boys were feeling better and they both went to school on Monday. My happiness didn't last long. Yesterday HB woke up with fever and his eye was so swollen....seriously it was huge and purple. I wanted to take picture and show you, but I think the flash would kill the poor child.

I took him to the ER yesterday after LP left for school. The doctor told me that he has some kind of infection for sure especially since he had quite a high fever. He prescribed some antibiotics for HB that he's not happy with. HB hates pills. He has troubles swallowing them since I can remember. These pills are huge and he needs to take them 4 times a day so we are not a happy household right now.

His appetite is not that good either and the pharmacist warned me about taking lots of food with his medication. Great, just great.

I made him some Pineapple Carrot Loaf so he has something to eat with those horse pills. HB seems to be happy with that.....for now.

I was just thinking how I wanted to write about my journey to happiness and about things I am slowly changing to make that happen. Lately it's all about my sick kids and misery, isn't it?

On the other hand I am taking all these setbacks with positive outlook and that's a big change. I am also moving forward slowly, but surely with my writing. I am learning new things every day and I am trying not to repeat my mistakes....so I guess I am doing what I wanted to do and that's all that matters.

So tomorrow I will write about something other then my sick kids and the fact that I might add a Celiac disease to a long list of things that are wrong with me, I promise.
