Another rough evening...shortly after the kids were put to bed, Nathan came out crying again. Missing his dad. Although his dad had just left; I had to work at school registration tonight so it was a 'dad' night.
Anyway he was upset and wanted to call his dad, so he did. Then he got off the phone and said he was still sad...I was honest with him, per the counselor's advice. Told him I was sad about it too, I missed Daddy too. Hugged him and sent him back to bed. Maybe once Dan has his house done and they can stay with him some nights it won't be as rough on him. Although he said then he will miss me...(sigh)
Almost 3 a.m. here, have to stay up all night before the EEG tomorrow. Dan offered to have his dad watch the kids. I said my mom was going to. The only thing lacking is, I am supposed to have someone drive me there/back since I will be sleep-deprived. But I didn't want my mom to go, she is such a worrier and would ask a bunch of dumb questions and stress me out...
Actually couldn't leave the hospital after my D was born b/c my blood pressure was up. I had Dan make my mom leave the hospital (subtly of course)...blood pressure was back to normal after 15 minutes! I love her but she cannot deal with anything calmly.
So I am driving myself. Dan said to call if I needed him but I am not going to. I won't contrive to get his attention anymore for anything.
Hopefully all will go smoothly tomorrow. Only thing I am concerned about is that after 1 hour awake, they want me to sleep. I just hope I am not too wired to sleep...
I love her but she cannot deal with anything calmly.
