Maybe I'm overreacting

This week could have been better. Lovey went back to school after 3 weeks off, but the change in routine has made him tired and now he is acting up.

Littlebit hasn't been sleeping, but she has four teeth coming in. Today she keeps saying ow and pointing to her mouth. Poor kid.

On the subject of teeth, after Christmas, Lovey was wrestling with daddy and hit his front tooth on daddy's knee. Well, it keeps getting grayer and grayer everyday. I called the dentist New Year's Day, but he said it is probably dying and they don't do anything for baby teeth. I just need to check for cuts or swelling to his gums. I don't see any, so I haven't taken him in. I think it is very noticeable and he keeps calling it his dead tooth. I'm hoping it is one of the first he loses. Did it stop him from wanting to wrestle? No!

Friday I went to a new doctor for a check up and I'm not sure I like her. I know that I am overweight, but she made me feel awful. She wants me to go on a no/low carb diet, but she didn't ask me what I ate. We rarely go out to fast food restaurants and we don't eat a lot of packaged foods, but she never asked me that. She basically said that it didn't matter that I get up early every morning to exercise, so I want to know if I can quit doing that? I would rather sleep in or do something else. It was all I could do to keep from crying in the doctor's office and I cried all of the way home. It just irritates me because she didn't ask about what we eat. When she said no potatoes or pasta and I replied that my menu this week had both of those things, I think she made assumptions about me. These things are not always my menu.

It depresses me because I love to bake and I enjoy making pancakes and cookies and cakes, so now I feel like she is taking away something that I enjoy doing. I know I don't have to follow her advice or go back to see her, but I think I will keep my next appointment and see if she asks any more about my eating habits. This may also just be her latest kick because the person before me left with the same flier and there was a large stack of them in the office.

I think I will take away from this watching the carbs that I eat, but I'm not going to be fanatical about them. This was similar to what I started to do before I went to see her. I will continue to exercise in the morning. (I even got my husband to join me today, but I couldn't stop laughing because he was being goofy about it and called the lady names.) I will be thankful that it is only a baby tooth for Aidan and know that someday Littlebit will sleep again.
