I'm officially....
Exhausted! I’ve been battling a sinus cold for a week - and seem to be on the mend for that. It’s been frustrating because I feel fine other than the fact that I can’t breath and my nose feels like it’s been punched repeatedly because of the barrage of blowing! I HATE breathing through my mouth! And to top that off, I’ve been so dehydrated (because of the whole mouth open 24/7 thing) that I’ve been drinking water like it’s going out of style. Then…..I just have to pee every 20 minutes. A full week of little to no sleep, combined with the requirement to get up 3 times a night to pee, has left me exhausted.
And don’t we all know that just cuz’ mommy is tired, it doesn’t really impact the lives of anyone else in the house - meals are still prepared, laundry still gets done and the house still gets cleaned. Of course, last night’s dinner was a frozen pizza and kraft dinner, but hey, it was on the table - and the house definitely isn’t as clean as it should be but I’m not expecting any movie crews so whatever! Mike did put in a load of his laundry, so that gives me a bit of a reprieve.
Alex has swimming lessons tonight and I’m scared that I’m going to fall asleep in the water and drown us both!
Hopefully I’m on the up swing now. I seem to be successfully breathing through my nose for the majority of this post, yay me!
Of course, I can’t stay home and get some good rest while my little one is at daycare, because I’ve only been at my new job for 3 weeks. While I’m still a City employee and have no restrictions on my sick leave benefits, morally I can’t do it.
That, combined with a few other things going on in life that I’ll post about when I feel better, have made me become that person who is falling asleep at her desk! Hope the new boss doesn’t catch me, but there are huge windows on either side of me and anyone who walks by can see me! I’ll have to find myself some thumbtacks and place them so that as soon as my body relaxes, I’m poked awake.
