Thanks again for those that have checked in on me. The kids and I are back on a normal routine. Hopefully, no more stomach crud. Thanks for all the advice on my diet.

So all the gray weather, sickness, and holidays have had me a little bummed. I've really had some resentment toward the W this week. She knows that I've been sick; but has she offered any help with the kids? NO!! She came through Wed. night and wanted to take the kids to see Santa and show them some things in the mall. However, the kids didn't want to go; so she watched them at my house until I got back from the grocery store. 10 min. later she's out the door with no offer to help with baths or anything even though she knew that I wasn't feeling good.

Thurs. morning at 2 am, my S gets the crud. W texts me about 9:45 in the morning to ask how I'm feeling. I responded that I'm feeling OK; but S has it now. Her only response was "Great, guess I'm next." That really set me off. No concern about her kids or about helping me; only about how it was going to affect her. Later Thurs. night about 7pm she did call and talk to our S; but her main point of the phone call was to help figure out our shopping arrangements tonight. We're supposed to go together if we can get childcare arrangements. I hope that child care falls through.

Anyway, back for now. Taking it slow.
