Something happened and the past few days blogs did not save.  So this is a test to see if it will save and will be here tomorrow.

I got dressed while Barbara fixed me some oatmeal and milk.  She also put my medicine in a spoonful of applesauce.  I have no problem taking it that way but I really need to practice learning how to swollow a whole pill.

I had left my backpack over at Anthony's.  I was on my way to get it, when Alyssa came outside carrying it.  I thanked her.  

Sunday, January 13, 2019

I was awake early.  Mommy and Barbara came into our room to ask Anthony and Cole if they  wanted breakfast before going home.  They both said yes.  

I came downstairs asking to take my pills.  Mommy opened a capsule and poured it onto a spoonful of applesauce.  I had no problem taking it and I chewed up the allergy pill.

I ate three eggs with hot sauce, 2 sausage patties, 2 pieces of bacon, and milk.  Anthony ha pancakes and sausage and milk.  Cole had bacon and lemonade.  Cole's grandmother arrived while we were eating.  When Cole finished eating he went home.

I was going to go to Andy's with my mom, but I decided I wanted to stay home, so Anthony ended up staying until after noon.  We played on our phones.  

I wasn't hungry for lunch so I had a bowl of cereal.  Part of the afternoon I played Fortnite with Anthony and others.  We played outside and over at Anthony's home.   

We thought my new pill might make be lose my appetite but so far I'm eating like a little piggie.  I had turkey and noodle soup, pulled pork with bar-be-que sauce, 2 hot biscuits, cheese, and something else.  I can't recall what it was. 

Close to bedtime, I was playing Fortnite with one of my cousins.  When I had to quit to take a bath, we decided to race to see who could take our bath the fastest.  He was back on the game before I got back.. but he hadn't been there long.

Mommy laid down with me and I went to sleep quickly.



 

I forgot to write about this day.  I know I went to Starbucks with Anthony and Quentin on our bikes and I played outside or over at Anthony's.

Oh, now I remember.  Around 7pm it was decided that Cole and Anthony would have a sleepover at my house.   We played Fortnite and played with our phones.  Mommy brought us a snack of popcorn in red plastic containers that looked like movie popcorn sacks.  Eating out of them was fun.  We turned off Fornite at 11pm but it was almost 1:30pam before we were all asleep.  Anthony slept on the sofa, Cole slept on the loveseat, and I slept on my mom's bed.  Mommy slept in my bedroom.

I tried.  I really tried to swallow a capsule about five times.  It just stuck to my tongue.  One of my main problems was that I would only take a sip of water after I put the pill in my mouth.  I was supposed to keep drinking but I wouldn't.  I will have to practice a few more times.  Practice makes permanent.  

I put on a jacket because it was chilly outside.  Every child at the bus stop had on long pants and coats with hoods, but before I got on the bus, I was taking my jacket off.     ???

I had a good day at school.  I was in too much of a hurry to go play to eat a snack after I jumped off the bus.   I played with Brandon until it got dark.

I played Fortnite until bedtime.  I fell asleep around 10pm.

Mimz brought me home to catch my school bus.  I had on long pants and I wasn't too happy about it.  I ended taking them off before the bus arrived.

I had a good day at school.  

As soon as I got home from school I practiced taking "a fiber one cereal piece" as if it was a pill.  I am going to start taking a daily capsule and I have never taken pills other than chew able ones.  I wasn't very good at it, but it will get easier with just a little more practice.

I read a few paragraphs about islands in the ocean being made by underwater volcanoes.  To better help me understand Barbara drew a picture of the Earth sliced in half, showing the hot core, the land, with trees and mountains, and oceans.  Also she drew the Earths crust and showed how hot lava would seep through cracks in the crust and sometimes a mountain of lava would form into an island if it reached the top of the ocean.  I then answered some questions about islands formed by volcanoes.

I played with Brandon for about an hour before Barbara drove me to my 5:30pm baseball field practice which was held near Spring Stubner and Mossy Oaks.  Mommy met us there.

I was in bed by 9:15pm and asleep by 10pm. 

My report card.  I came down in every subject except one and my behavior came down from Es to Ss.  Not what my adults want for me.


 

Barbara picked me up from school at 10:45am.  She brought me a sausage egg sandwich from McDonald's since they were not serving lunch yet.  She took me to my doctor's office where we met Mommy and Mimz.  

The reason for this appointment was because I am not doing as well in school as I should.  Both my grades and my behavior are not up to par.  I have the same problem away from school.  

Dr. Muehe put me on a low dose slow-release adderal pill.  I take it once a day with breakfast. He also gave us a list of counselors that we might concider taking me to for my behavior problems.

Mommy went back to work and I had lunch at McDonalds' with Mimz before she dropped me off at school.  I missed recess!

At home I ate a snack and read three paragraphs and corrected two of four answers that I had answered incorrectly.

I played football with Brandon

Barbara picked me up at Brandon's home and we met Mimz so Mimz could take me to baseball practice at a new location in Tomball.  Turns out it is a dirty mice infested place.  Mimz waited in the car

This paper gave us information about my running club.

Today is the first day of school after our long Christmas break.

I was easily able to get up at 6:45am and take a shower, dress, eat breakfast, and get to the bus stop.  I was outside at least ten minutes before the other kids showed up.  

This is our school calendar for the rest of the school year.


Mrs. Gardner had a baby girl during our Christmas break and she will not return to school for a couple of months.  Mrs. Flores is a permanent substitute teacher at our school and she will be my teacher until Mrs. Gardner returns.

It is the start of a new semester with 94 days more days of school this year.  I am starting with clean slate.  I'm hoping I will be better behaved and will try to study better, including reading at home.

Mimz gave me a pair of shoes for Christmas for me to have new shoes to start off wearing, but I want to wear my comfortable old shoes.  I'll wear the new ones, just not yet. 

I didn't want to play with friends.  I wanted to play Fornite.  I ate a bowl of cereal and started playing.  Barbara will be so glad when I either quit playing or the game is banded from our home.

I was in bed at 9pm.  I was asleep before 9:40pm.   

Monday, Jan 7, 2018

I slept until almost 10am.  I had to get dressed quickly so Mimz and I could meet Barbara at Stripes and Mimz could get to her doctor's appointment.  Barbara and I went to her eye glasses place.  Her glasses temple piece broke and can't be repaired.  It wold cost $140 to replace it.  She said no thanks and she will only have one pair of glasses, plus an old pair for emergencies. She says now she knows not to get the spring loaded glasses.  They are nice but they were expensive, didn't hold up, and are too expensive to replace.

This is what my hair looks like in the morning before I wet it and brush it!
This was a very unproductive day.  I only wanted to watch my phone or Barbara's phone.  I didn't want to read, play one of my new games, help cook, or go outside to play with my friends.  Mimz brought my play station over at 3pm and I played on that except to eat until 7pm when Mommy was tired of my getting mad at the game or at the Wi-fi.  Not a good day.  I did watch about an hour of the Clemson-Alabama football national championship game.  #2 Clemson handily beat #1 Alabama.   I was in bed by 9pm but I couldn't go to sleep.  Finally I fell asleep at 11pm.  Not a very good day.

Saturday Jan 5, 2018

The Dallas Cowboys won their game in the Wildcard Playoffs, so they are still in the running for the Super Bowl.  The Houston Texson's lost... too bad.

 Catherine is already six months old!

Mrs. Gardner  had a baby girl in December, so we are going to have a substitute teacher for a couple of months.  Her name is Mrs. Flores and Mimz knows her from teaching years.

I'm not fond of reading.  I really need to read a lot more than I'm willing to.  Barbara came up with an idea.  I was to pick out a date... from the day I was born to the present, then we would go to that date on my blog and I could read what I did that day.  The first date I picked was May 11, 2018.  I picked that date on purpose because I knew that was the day of the Dream Mile race.  I was more interested in looking at the pictures and talking about the race than I was in reading.   We picked out a couple more dates to read.  One was a day that we spent a lot of time playing Car Town and I spent time painting rocks and then painted on my stomach.  I was a funny kid.

I played with Brandon for a few hours.  We shot baskets, tossed around my football, jumped on my pogo stick, rode bikes, played in my room, and just goofed off.  

Mimz came to pick me up at 3:30pm.  She was very happy to see me and was ready to spend time with me.   

I felt good until I was eating lunch.  Then I said my head hurt and my lunch was hurting my stomach.  

I laid down and Barbara and I started to decide what was wrong.  We took my temperature which was 99.8.  I decided my head only hurt if I moved it.  I tried to throw up but decided I really didn't need to.  

We texted Mommy and typed that my head hurt but only if I moved it.  I said I know she is going to say, "then don't move it."  lol.   

Mimz suggest we get some chew-able Tylenol or Motrin.  Barbara drove to CVS and came home with chew-able Tylenol.  I chewed up two Bubble gum tasting tablets.  I laid still on Barbara's bed. I couldn't read and be comfortable, so Barbara read a few pages from my Moonwalk book.  By 4:30pm I was feeling good and I ate a banana.  By 5pm I decided I was hungry.  I ate two bowls of spaghetti and drank lemonade.  By that time I was back to my normal self.   I guess I had a 5 hour bug.  We sure are glad it was short term illness.

I had not played Fornight all day, so I was ready.
