Yup.

Just when I'm sure I'm over-reacting (or more to the point, overthinking) to kid's need for stability in 'who's around me that I know' - I get a night like last night.

After being home all day (and kid is at preschool), Jim decides that the best time to be seen at Kaiser for his cough is AFTER he's brought the kid home, and while I'm putting him to bed for the night alone.

Hello, recipe for night terrors much? Kid also hadn't taken his nap at school, so not only was he hungry, he was tired and couldn't possibly stay awake long enough to wait for Jim to come home before keeling over in place.

Having me there was just about okay - except he kept half-waking looking for Daddy about four times inside of the two hours I was without Jim, and two more after he got home.

Nope. We don't leave this kid alone going to sleep or in stress situations. And the night before, Jim's coughing kept him awake because - let's face it - it sounds scary.

Daddy's gone to the doctor in the middle of the night because he's reaaaally sick - alone. Oh yeah, that was bright. Not.

Nice way to turn me into a control freak, guys. And ensure I overthink just about everything going forward.

*grumble*

In other news, Mexico also has dinosaurs. Who knew.

Yup.

Yanno, I did ask for Rangers....

And I did tell you the current TSA widgets made me toss the pomegranate jelly...but let me carry the beeswax candles, wicks and all on a flight to SFO not that long ago.

So the meth capital (one of many in the central valley, trust me) can't handle...HONEY fumes.

The stupid, she doth burn brightly.

Dumb as dead cats. *shakes head*

You gets what you pays for.
