Wednesday

Wednesday morning, I get Landon and me ready to go to school and he is just not himself. I can’t tell what is wrong, just cranky and moody – not like him at all. Afraid that he is getting sick, I call off my trip to Fort Worth, afraid that his school would call and I wouldn’t be able to get back quickly enough to pick him up. I really needed the day at work to get some actual work done. I have a to do list more than a page long! I get a ride to go pick up my car. They pick me up from home at 8:30. I go get my car – over a $1000 dollars later, I head to school. I also swing by and pick up Landon’s backpack that we left in our friend’s car on Monday. I head into work and sit down to a ton of emails. Most of them about rescheduling a several video conferences. I literally spend my entire day working on getting these video conferences scheduled (while going on some SOS calls for teachers) and get nothing else marked off my to do list. I have an appointment to get my hair colored and cut after school (since my Ouachita reunion is this coming weekend). I’m on a time crunch because I have to get in and out of the salon in time to get Landon from school. I arrive at the salon and my hair dresser is not there. She has forgotten about me. She is 50 minutes late!! I can’t get color just a cut. I head out to get Landon (who I’m surprised made it all day). I get him home and he is still pretty cranky. Just not himself. At about 6:00 I see him leaning on the ottoman trying to poop. He starts to scream. My little man is constipated, big time. We try all the typical things, the warm bath, the apple juice, the thermometer!! Nothing seems to help. Another long night. He wakes up about 5 times in the night screaming in pain.
