Feb. 29th, 2008 10:58 pmI think I have a tapeworm. I cannot stop eating. It is getting to be a dire situation. I bought Little Debbies, and I must confess that I bought two boxes of them. I can't imagine when the last time I bought something like that was. This is after the unfortunate chocolate chip cookie incident this weekend (I am proud to say that I did show a little restraint and freeze some of them this time!) And then the salty snacks. I am even falling prey to that most terrible way of lying to myself--the "well, it doesn't matter if I eat this because I've already gained three pounds!" I should throw everything out but I know I'm not going to. The best I can hope for is to get back on the wagon later. After I have finished off the Little Debbies.
Now that I think on it, this increase in snacking does follow the pattern of Evelyn's sleeping problems pretty much exactly. Does it make it better if you can outline the reasons for your crazy or is it all just pretty much the same? For what it's worth, she slept through the night again last night for the first time all week and she went down pretty easily for her naps today, though she only slept fifteen minutes this afternoon again. Still, better than the rest of the week so I shouldn't quibble.

I wrote all that earlier today, and now I am back to finish it up after putting the girl to bed. My grandfather (dad's side) is sick and in the hospital, intensive care. Heart problems. They said he is really weak, heart damaged and beating too fast and irregularly. They're going to run tests tomorrow and possibly do some sort of shock procedure. M has to work tomorrow (blah) and we are planning on going up once he gets home. What bothers me most about this is that he has seemed so depressed since my grandmother died in August. He has taken care of her for years now, and while she has been gone for a very long time, he still had a purpose in caring for her. Now that she's gone, he just doesn't seem to have the same..spark. I am so worried that he doesn't have the will to get better even if his body can handle it.
I want a Nutty Buddy. I had better go to bed before I forget that I have already brushed my teeth and give in to temptation.
