Honey-Do List

Brandon started his job Monday, and he started living out of a hotel on Tuesday. This has left me alone with the girls during the week for the next month. On Monday night Brandon said he only has one goal for me for the week. I figured he was going to say finish the laundry, pack something, feed the chickens something a long those lines but nope I was wrong. My only goal for the week (according to Brandon) is to not strangle either of the girls. Tough goal but I think I can handle it.

The goal looks something like this for all of the nurses that read my blog:

Acute Psychosis

As stated by patient being stressed out by having both girls by herself during the week

Outcome: Not to strangle either child by the time husband comes home

Ongoing assessment: husband to make frequent phone calls to check on children

Evaluation: On going goal

Now I thought that goal would be simple but I have been challenged a couple of times already. The first time happened about 4 am this morning when Teagan decided to crawl into bed next to me since I am sleeping in their room on a twin mattress on the floor. She continued to toss, turn, kick me, and take up the majority of the bed. I was so frustrated because I knew I had to get up early to go to 2 interviews today and I didn't want to be exhausted.

The 2nd time happened about 6:44 am........my alarm was set to go off at 6:50 am and Harper decided that would be too long to sleep so she woke up at 6:44 am and not only that she was soaked head to toe in urine which means I had to wash her up and take her sheets off the bed and try to get her, Teagan, and myself ready for the day. I am glad she has decided to sleep through the night just wish that didn't mean soaked diapers.....(and I'm not about to wake her up in the middle of the night to change her.....so don't even suggest it!!)

The 3rd time just happened, we just got home from the sitters and my interviews went great!! However both girls were fussing at the same time and Teagan decided to eat a crayon or 2. Now what makes her think that its a good idea to eat a crayon???!!! Oh well

Both kids are still alive and healthy and keeping me busy for the week!! I will keep you updated on the progress of my goal!!
