Today has been a bit of a stressful day. One of my girls is sick. She has walking pneumonia which has of course flared her asthma up. The poor kid cannot stop coughing. So the day started by getting a call from the school at 8:30 to pick her up and off to the doctors. By the time I got back to work it was noon.
I've had a difficult time this evening getting her into bed and the poor kid is going to break a rib coughing. But now she is finally asleep and I will be heading there myself soon. I just wanted to get this out.
As I sat on the couch with my darling hacking girl watching the Biggest Loser, I was struck by the desire/craving for some ice cream. I was not hungry in the least. I was bored, I was tired, I was stressed and I had indigestion and I wanted some ice cream. I knew it was wrong, that I did not "need" ice cream so I just sat there, trying to think it out, hard to think with all that coughing. And I finally determined, I wanted that ice cream because of the tired, bored, stressed, worried, not because of hunger or even a real desire to eat anything.
And see, I know, without a doubt that if I say "hey honey will you go get me some ice cream" he will do it. Even if I don't need it. He has a hard time telling me no LOL. But I did not say anything. I bit my tongue, drank some water and took some Tums for the indigestion.
It's 11:00 and I think I'll go to bed now before the ice cream monster gets me again.
Good Night
