gotta change things up

Jupiter is spinning all day, exhausted at night, and it is not fun. Everything is an argument and/or a power struggle. As much as I try not to participate in a power struggle, because by definition it should take two people to have one of those. But I am evidently failing at disengaging. She had to do homework tonight and literally the entire time complained about school and homework and anything else she could think of to be negative about.

She needs to go to the pool. Badly needs to go to the pool. I want very badly to take her to the pool. I don't think the pool people want Miss Croupy Cough in the pool though. I wish I had a soaking tub...anything. I wish we could go to Puerto Rico for the weekend and boogie board and sit in ocean waves.

This is my worst time of year. I hate cold and dark winter. So a trip to Puerto Rico would probably be more for me.

Tomorrow is a new day...

A salt bath maybe????

Hoping she feels much better tomorrow and pool time is soon.

Hey Lisa...

A bath is good, but her muscles really need the resistance of moving the water around, and my tub just isn't big enough and causes rain in my basement when she tries. But she's not coughing as much today. So hopefully this weekend.....when she won't be able to go outside becuase it's so cold!
