My days typically are not as eventful as most mothers, in terms of accomplishments, but as I heal up more and Avalei starts preK, this will change. Actually, maybe what accomplishments are with healthy women would be different. Getting out of bed is a big deal.
Today was a toughie, already. So I was up at 7:36am, realizing Jim was sound asleep next to me, and the kids were up. OMG!!! Jim should have been up and doing the morning routine! He lost his phone, which doubles as an alarm, and should have asked me to use mine. I didn't even think of it.
Off he goes to ensure the older two are ready for school, dressed with lunches, and off they go. I head to the girls room because isn't that how everyone begins their day? And get a text that the babysitter I'd hired to help out this morning (I'm very tired and could tell I was fighting something last night) informing me she had severe cramps and couldn't come. I would have cried, but I was too tired. 8:00 and time to get on a health call that is helping in my battle with Lyme disease. Sometime between 8:00-9:00 Jim kissed me goodbye and left. I put on some soothing music after the call, part of protocol, and crash. Could.not.keep.my.eyes.open. Avalei is in and out, talking to me as I nearly drool on myself. Just kidding, but only about the drooling part. I remember groggily praying for supernatural nanny angels, or something along those lines. This went on until 12:15 when I checked FB, hoping to stay awake for my kiddo, and my mom called. I haven't eaten a thing. Avalei did, and I'm certain because I first asked Jim, and then she came and said hi, as she ate.
Now I close windows, turn on a/c, and make lunch... assuming I don't fall on the floor.
This isn't every day. Thankfully. Now to enter the main part of the house and see what my fatigue has cost me.
Oh yay! She was merciful. Phew! :) Imagine first trimester fatigue... that's what I can compare this to, from experience. Why doesn't she nap anymore???
It's now 12:45, and is still be sleeping if I wasn't forcing myself up.
Tomorrow will be better... I'm holding onto that hope!
