Mystery Solved with Kiddo

Dear Diary,

Well, my youngest has been really bad as of late. Acting out a lot, talking back to his teacher and the after school workers. Last weekend he was super hyper, I thought it was the sugary cereal he had for breakfast. He was up and even went and cleaned my back porch, like early in the AM before I got up? Hes been all into doing chores and earning money and working, which is fine, but he was over zealous about it last weekend, B was there and saw how he was behaving.

Well, he started up last night, I also noticed hes been saying goodnite and hes going to bed about 8-8:30, and his bedtime is 9. And he goes in his room for about 15 min, shuts his door, then ends up coming back out to watch tv, but usually hes noisy, pestering his brother, last night he just started punching the couch and smacking it and I told him that was it and to get to bed. He threw a fit, he was kicking his bed, all the old garbage he had been so good about getting over was back, the toddler like behavior that I covered with the therapist. I took his radio away, and some toys. I came in and he ripped the mattress cover off so I told him he had to remake his bed, his blanket was on his dresser which was odd, I went to move it and he ran over and leaned on it saying NO.

I was looking for some toy to take away and I move the blanket and there in a baggy is one of my energy bars!

THEN IT CLICKED!

I was looking that same day for a Cliff bar in the cupboard, I bought these ones last time that had green tea and something extra or whatever added, caffiene, and I ate one and it made me really jittery and I didnt eat the other, just stuck it up in the cupboard. IT MADE ME SHAKY! Well its missing. And it was Like AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! HAAAAAAAAA

My kid has been sneaking my bars and eating them, who knows when, how often, as it appears the one in his room he went and ate a small portion when he said he was “Going to bed”

I had a talk with him, first I was mad he was stealing and hiding them, and then I explained to him they are not candy bars, that mommy takes them for energy for work at lunch and for the gym.

Hes also been weird about his backpack and this AM he had snuck a large bag of Apple Jacks. So I told him thats enough of the sugary stuff, Ill have to try and see if something like a granola bar will satisfy him, or string cheese, he ate dinner, had a plate of watermelon last night, but hes sneaking my stuff lately, the gatorade episode, this, him and his brother eating the cake they were told they could not have.

I also told him he has to pay me back for the ones he stole and didnt ask about, he wasnt thrilled, but I want him to know he cant go taking peoples things and I told him that those were not for him to eat, and explained if hes eating that stuff and having to sit still at school or be quiet they can make him jittery and told him thats why hes been sorta crazy lately, heck Monday I said “What is wrong with you??”

Ahhhh funny when you figure things out, trying to gather whats wrong, and my kiddo didnt know either.

So now that hes been found out, will see how his attitude is.

Well I may go to the gym after work, will see what mood Im in, if you know who is there, and all that. I cant stay long, so I may go even if he is, dont know, I have a hair appt, so wanna get cleaned up before heading over there and not all stinky, I havent taken a shower in about 3 weeks now! I dont have one, its all the bathtub and the kitchen sink for my hair. Dang I miss a shower! Yes this guy is frickin slow. Its been over a month, I sure hope its a good job in the end, I pay him the rest at the close of the job, hes waiting for the pan.

Well, Im gonna scoot for now, cant wait to get my new hair! My roots have grown out wayyyy too long! And it will be all sexy when I come home to B, woohooooo
