Unexpected Consequence







So as many of you have noticed from my posts and just from talking to me, I have been quite miserable for the past few weeks. Blame it on the weather, the pregnancy, the nasty colds, or all of the above; regardless I have just felt like crap. Today was a new day. The morning was a bit rough, I was still super doped and tired, but Jeff and I dropped the kids off at my visiting teacher's and went to the doctor's visit. The doctor didn't really give me any good news, like why I had the contractions or any change of dates, but that's okay. When I got home I just crashed and slept for over an hour. It felt amazing. When I got up I suddenly felt like I had the stuff to make it through the next two weeks. Jeff took the kids to run errands and for the first time in a long time I was able to just sit and relax without worrying about getting something done. My kitchen is SPOTLESS thanks to my visiting teacher who scrubbed every surface so hard that I am frankly embarrassed that someone knows how nasty it was in the first place. My friend was nice enough to bring over dinner despite not feeling super herself. I feel like a new person; like I am Mario and have been given the big mushroom just in time to finish off the level. I even have less aches and pains thanks to the super muscle relaxant they gave me last night. So even though last night was utterly miserable, things are maybe taking a turn for the better.

I'm so glad! Forget the environment, go get a fat stack of disposable plates, napkins, cups, and silverware, adn don't let anyone near that kitchen for the next two weeks. And popsicles, because it is dang hot outside.

I love hearing how wonderful Jeff has been for you, and so thoughtful and supportive! What a great guy! I feel like I've gotten to know more about him. I'm also so glad to hear you're being taken care of! Best wishes Em!
