Roid Rage

*I have to laugh so I won't cry and I have done plenty of crying anyway.*


How to know you have a child on steroids:

Roid Rage = Freaking out when not fed constantly.  Freaking out when they don't get their way.  Pretty much just freaking out about everything. 

She eats four breakfasts within the span of an hour.

A child that would be fine to eat breakfast after taking her big sister to school now has to eat the MOMENT her eyes pop open.

And then eats again when home from taking her sister to school.

As soon as I clean up from one meal she is asking for a snack.  When the answer is no, it gets ugly.  Then begins the constant pestering for the next meal.


Then the next fit begins because I am not willing to serve lunch promptly at 8:30 AM.


She is then eating almost non stop until lunch.  When not eating she is whiny and begging to eat.


Lunch is at 11AM and then (PLEEEEASE) a nap.


Wakes and demands food.


She gets very upset and angry when I won't feed her dinner at 4PM.


You take her to store and she asks, "Can we buy all the food here?"


"I WANT TO EAT!!"  (Oh wait, she was saying that before the medicines.)


Praise the good Lord she is off one of those steroids as of tomorrow morning.  :)  Please keep praying for Sleeping Beauty, us and our grocery bill.

Still here...


Appointment went well with the Pediatric Pulmonologist. 


We have an asthma treatment plan as well as new medicines both for preventative measures and for when she is sick and has a flare up.  It's expensive and takes a lot of my time getting things ready and cleaned, dried, set up.   Not to mention keeping the equipment away from the little hands that could lose them!  ;)


I am trying to get used to all this and learning more about asthma.  I am still pretty clueless but am doing what I can to help my baby girl.


Prayers would be great.  I am pretty wound up between all this and my nephew's arrival within the next three weeks or so.  We would like (NEED) him to come before his due date.  His Mommy is ready and he's a growing boy!  :)  This is her first baby and it took a lot of prayers to get him here.  Pray God keeps them both safe.

Sleeping Beauty Update - Asthma

Tomorrow we are taking Sleeping Beauty to a Pediatric Pulmonologist for her asthma.   Please pray that they can help us help her.  She is on several medicines at this point and still has symptoms.  I am frustrated and I feel helpless. We can't seem to get her well and keep her well. Thank you.

Quotes and sayings and conversations from the past few weeks from my gals:


Today, when we went to get  in our iced up car to go to school today Cinderella said, "Mommy? I don't think we're in ***** anymore. This seems like Alaska to me!"


Also this morning, "What is peanut butter made out of?"

"The best part of Princess Furry Pants getting a bath is she doesn't like it and I think that's so funny."  - Sleeping Beauty

Upon the dog getting angry with Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty said, "Weeeelllllll she doesn't bite me because I bite her back." 

WHAT?!

While doing some cleaning I found an unopened packet of aTaco Bell mild sauce in Cinderella's toy box.  That girl keeps everything!

Sleeping Beauty apparently got up and took her makeup bag in for her nap. (It was all she wanted for Christmas once she found out that watch ($275) was off the list. No makeup was on her but some was on the sheets (I washed just the day before). She was gripping a lip balm in one hand and a makeup brush in the other. HAHA

We have an iRobot (vacuum) and it went past one of the barriers it wasn't supposed to. Sleeping Beauty came running up to me tattling, saying, "Mommy! MOMMY! She 'is-obeyed' you!!!!"

The girls were entertaining themselves, making more pictures for their baby cousin who is to arrive sometime in the beginning of February. They have been making him things since we found out he was on his way!

The King of the Crazies told the dog she was fat and I kid you not, she went straight to bed.

Jealousy is an ugly beast. Sleeping Beauty "killed" a paper snowflake her big sister made. She said she did it "Because it was awesome." It's hard to be little and not know how to make awesome stuff!

The THREE YEAR OLD has road rage from THE BACKSEAT!  She even shakes her fists and yells, "Get outta my waaaaay!"

"Do crocodiles run their own businesses?" - Sleeping Beauty

Me: Sleeping Beauty, Do you need another napkin?
Sleeping Beauty: I've got two. Fuhgeddaboudit!

I was sitting on the couch and heard Sleeping Beauty over by the Christmas tree. "Now, let's see if I can get all up in the Christmas tree...OW! My hair!! I can't get out!"

We are raising very polite girls. Little Sleeping Beauty knocked over a sippy cup of milk and said, "Oh, why excuse me, milk! I am so sorry."

I overheard Cinderella talking to Sleeping Beauty while putting on her coat and hood, "Now keep your hoodie on. I don't want you getting sick." Awww!

Sleeping Beauty to Cinderella before Christmas: "I bet you are on the naughty list too."

Sometimes I am just left speechless. My three year old is freaking out because I didn't let the dog get married. WHAT?! I just don't know if I will make it the rest of my life at this rate! ;o)

We were at a mall with the girls and my mom. Santa was holding a newborn and Sleeping Beauty yelled, "Is THAT Baby JESUS?!?!?!"

Me: Girls, we are probably getting our Christmas tree tomorrow.
Cinderella: Yay!
Sleeping Beauty: Can we please get a gray* tree?

*Gray = snow on the tree

Sleeping Beauty was complaining and I said, "You are falling apart! Do I need to take you and get a new Sleeping Beauty?"
Sleeping Beauty: "Yes. They should have a new me at Target."
Me: HAHAHA

Part of Sleeping Beauty's prayer one night, "...and make the diseases go away. Thanks for sharp cheese. Amen."

Quote of the day from Cinderella on Thanksgiving: "When 'Crazies' see turkey, we have to eat it!"

I witnessed Sleeping Beauty lecturing her big sister on proper newborn care. It was frightening. Not so much what she said, but the fact that she backed over and then stepped on the baby's head, all the while baby talking and lecturing Cinderella.

What does one say?!

Sleeping Beauty, "I've waited three long years for my prince to come find me!!"

Me: Awkward silence...
