Coke and Saltines – the Magic Cure-All

What a day yesterday turned out to be!

In the morning, M said he wasn’t feeling great, so I gave him some Coke and saltines before I left for work. I called him during the day and suggested toast and soup for lunch or some applesauce . . . something that would be easy on his stomach. When I got home and asked him what he ate yesterday, he said “Not much.”

I told him that he was going to have to take responsibility for himself – that I can’t stay home with him and make sure he eats. Or I could get one of my parents to come sit with him and make sure he has a good lunch . . . especially if he isn’t feeling well. THAT scared him!! J I think he’ll start caring for himself to keep from being “babysat.”

Then last night I had THE WORST migraine! I don’t know where it came from, but nothing seemed to touch it. It hit right about bedtime and kept waking me up all during the night.

This morning I asked M to get me a Coke so I could have some saltines and MORE MEDICINE and try to get to work. Fortunately, by the time I got a shower and got dressed, I was feeling better and was able to get another day going.

I don’t have time for this kind of nonsense! Even with everything else we have going on, M and I need good health.
