Having a better day and a big oops

Feeling so much better today.  It’s amazing what some rest can do for you.  After 2 nights of good sleep I feel pretty normal again and not like my body is fighting against me anymore.  But tonight I go back to work again.  Grrr!!

My head is still not in the clear though.  Here is a good example of how I can tell:  made a huge oops today.  I have been cutting my son Ben’s hair for a few years now.  I use the clippers and blade #3 in the summer and #4 in the winter.  Been that way for awhile now.  His hair was getting long and needed a cut.  I put the shawl over him and get the clippers out and make the first cut.  Did you notice the step I missed?

Yeah, no #3 put on there!!!!!  I shaved him almost bald in one row on the front of his head!!!!  Oh my gosh.  So he got his hair cut with a #1 this time and it is sooooooooo short.  I stayed calm in front of him and finished but then had to go have a moment by myself and cried my eyes out.  He has never had hair this short before and he starts kindergarden in 3 weeks.  Guess I won’t do that again.

Here’s a pic of him now: 

A deep low

Yesterday I hit the lowest low I have hit in awhile.  All I wanted to do was crawl under a rock and sleep for a week or two.  I had just worked 6 nights out of 8 (12 hour shifts) and I was feeling awful.  My vision was more double than not, things were getting stuck in my throat, my left eyelid was droopy, things were my legs felt like jello and I was SOB as heck.  On my way home (after stopping at the grocery store) I called the doctor’s office to see if there were any tests they could do sooner etc.  Should have known better though.  Unless I wanted to go to the ER there wasn’t much they could do.

 

So off to bed and slept from 10 am to 2pm when the office called and then fell back asleep until 4pm when it was time to pick up the kids from daycare.  Then back to sleep at 9:30pm until 7am!!!!  Wow do I feel better though.  I can breath fine, my legs feel great, my eye lid is great and my vision is pretty well normal.  Just needed a little (well a lot I guess) of rest!!

 

Oh and did I mention that one of the twins had the stomach bug all over me as soon as I picked him up at daycare?  Uggh!!  They said he was fine all day but as soon as I get there he tells me he has to throw up.  Not really believing him we headed to the bathroom figuring he just needed to do #2.  Pick him and go to tell the girls bye and he pukes all over me!!  But he’s better now too.  Amazing what a night of rest will do for you!

 

Today we (minus the puker) went to a birthday party and had a good time.  Like I said, I feel great.  Wish more days were like this but lately not so much.  The 19th can’t come soon enough
