not the best day

Jan 29th, 2011 by

So I’m kindof having a yucky end to the week…slipped on the ice in the driveway the other day and am still feeling really sore…baby woke me up somehow at 1 am and I never got back to sleep…kids seemed to know that Mommy had only slept two hours and were up bright and early to celebrate the fact…went downtown to get a free pedicure I won (yay!), but spent 20 minutes trying to find the place (had left my phone on the counter by accident so I couldn’t call) and was late…got a parking ticket when I left because my meter had expired 5 minutes before the officer came by (seriously–he even put “-5 minutes” right there on the ticket)…so much snow from last night and this morning that I couldn’t get up the driveway when I got home…Tommy too active while Derek and Lizzie were napping so I had to stay awake to keep an eye on him and discipline as needed for things like taking his mattress off his bed (today of all days?!)…roads have been getting progressively worse so I don’t want to venture out (or even risk the driveway) to get groceries like I had planned, so there’s not much in the house…feeling discouraged that I haven’t sold anything on etsy and feeling guilty for stocking up on expensive wool felt to make things to sell when we didn’t really have the money in the budget (which is my fault for crashing our car last month, something I was reminded of this week when the hospital in VA contacted me with a $1000 bill because they hadn’t entered my insurance info correctly)…so tired that I’m seeing stars and feeling nauseated and just wanting to cry…and now quiet rest time is over and both kids are awake and crying because I haven’t really been playing with them today (despite the fact that they had quality Daddy time this morning)!  Definitely a Jonah day!  Can I just skip the rest of the weekend, please?

    Oh dear.
    And remember, the accident was just that, an accident. You can’t blame yourself (altho, I understand the temptation to. I probably would, too!).
    Tea? Coffee? Those two always help me. And for some reason, on those horrible days, the harder I try to find time to myself to rest and rejuvenate, the worse things get. The harder I try to play and interact with the kids, the better things get. So maybe have a party on Tommy’s mattress on the floor. Makes for some fun memories!
    We’ll try to chat soon. We are getting over yucky illness. Until then, I will be praying for your strength! The final trimester is SO HARD!

    Wow Emily! I am so sorry to hear about your bad day. I hope today has proved to be a better one.

    I hope today was better too. I have been thinking of and praying for you.
    Will call at some point. That “getting over” the sickness proved to be wrong. We are just now entering the mommy and daddy getting sick part.

    Oh, I’m sorry your day was yucky. I think last week was a Jonah week for me! I was more emotional and tired than I have been the entire pregnancy! I hope your day was better and that you have a blessed week with peaceful kiddos! 🙂

    Try craft felt in lieu of wool felt. Should be much cheaper and sufficient!

    Also thank Elizabeth for my drawing 🙂
