Ah... The pattern holds true

So, yesterday was a rough day, not just for me but for Page as well. He went and kicked a kid in the face at after-school, and spit at another kid. Lovely.

And then today? He's sick. Took him to the doctor for a nebulizer treatment, as his inhaler wasn't helping enough. (He's since regained his talkativeness, so I think he's better. :-/)

His worst outbursts are always on the cusp of illness. If only we could somehow get Page to recognize and articulate his body's goings-on before the meltdown is needed for release. (Hopefully the OT will help with that.)

Meanwhile, I managed to get through yesterday with the help of a ton of tea (5 cups - strong and sweet), waffles (for stress eating urges), plant window shopping, and collecting Geoff from work before I picked up Page from after school. No chill pill was taken. By bedtime, I was actually fairly calm.

I'm exhausted today, though. I hope to make it through the day without losing my cool at Page. Though I may retreat into a nap to facilitate that...

*hugs* There is no sin in taking care of you, and if the chill pill helps take care of you ,let it. If you can manage and feel good without, of course... But there are no awards for running yourself into the ground needlessly.
