And Then There Is the After...
Friday, October 1, 2010 at 10:10PM I have had a strange week. My birthday was so wonderful! What followed, though, were days where I felt so tired, my allergies were outrageously bad (so bad I didn't want to get up, and even two Benedryl weren't enough to kick the drip) (and two Benedryl also don't do much for the wanting to get up part), I was having fun with post-nasal-drip, I was short on patience, my meal plan seemed pointless, I didn't get Christian to school until after 9:00 one morning, and another day I totally forgot to take his lunch before his class ate. Also I felt like there was a lead weight hanging out in my stomach. Every. Day.
Blech.
Let's look at the bright side! I now have two weeks of meals that I can use, for I have two weeks of meals planned out in which not a single meal was prepared.
I was so grateful that this morning was Friday. I didn't have to pack Christian's lunch since he has pizza on Fridays. It's the small things that make me so happy sometimes. Also, our Friday afternoons are free from any organized events. There is no soccer, no karate, no activity that we have to make it to by such-and-such time. This afternoon the kids just hung out. They actually watched a movie together, until dinner. Then we ate, and they finished their movie. Eliana fell asleep on the couch! She was so tired. Everyone else got to bed pretty peacefully.
Breathe. Ahhh.
I still feel like there is a weight in my stomach, but it is probably because I ate 15 pounds of cheesecake this week.
What? I'm trying to make some good choices, too. I'm having water right now, instead of Pepsi.
To sum up...tomorrow is a new day. Thank goodness!
Hopefully one with a very low pollen count.

Little things make me happy too! Like finding the perfect parking spot.
I love the afternoons/evenings when we have nothing to do! Yay for all those meals! :)
Ugh, I hope you feel better this week! I envy your cheesecake consumption but if you are having water instead of pepsi I feel like you have already been redeemed :)
Happy belated birthday!! A week of cheesecake sounds like an amazing week.
Aren't the seasonal transition allergies the worst? I feel like my brain is wrapped in gauze. Achy gauze.
I have been low on patience this week too. Not sure what my problem is. Hopefully we'll both have better weeks this week.
if there is one thing I've learned is that tomorrow always brings a new day and a fresh start. I hope today finds you feeling much better!
