It All Went South Quickly

This morning I went to see my specialist and it was all fantastic. She was impressed and very proud of how well I am doing. All of my blood work is going in the right direction and she (& I) are very pleased! I was a little disappointed when she told me I've only lost 10lbs since I was there in October. She was happy, but I was sadden. 10lbs in 4 months. :( That is so not good enough for me, but I'm the one responsible, the person to hold accountable and the only one who can change it. So watch out...because I feel like I need to make up for some lost time here! However, I was very excited when she told me that I don't need to come back for 6 months and I don't even need to send in my numbers either! Needless to say, I was flying very high!!

The other exciting development was the fact that I was out of my 9am appointment before 9:15am, so I went in search of the local Biggby Coffee there and found it. The best part of this is that I discovered that this location is not that far off the beaten path from my weekly trek to and from seeing my guy! :) Watch out Biggby...I've found you and I'm not letting you go! Woo-hoo! With drinks in hand, or better yet the cup holders, I made my way to the office.

I walked into work feeling like I had accomplished so much and was close to Cloud 9 status at 10:20am. I was ready to hit the ground running and kick some booty! Ten minutes later my day went south quickly when I received an email from the munchkin's teacher telling me how he has been misbehaving for a few weeks now. She has been trying to handle it directly with him within the classroom, but that seems to have failed. So from 10:30am on wards I felt defeated. Learning my son has been running around, talking non-stop, and distracting everyone in class, including the teacher, I was not happy.

I don't know about the other moms out there, but I must confess that when I'm told that my son is not behaving I start doubting myself as a parent. Thinking about what I'm doing wrong and what I need to change to get him on a better track. At these moments I feel like I have no answers...no words of wisdom to impart onto myself. I spent the rest of the day trying to recapture my earlier status of flying high, but was never able to recapture it.

Maybe I should be happy for my hour and a half of euphoria and call the day a success, but tonight I'm just not feeling it.
