Dear Blog,
It has been awhile since I sat down to tell you how we are doing. Oft times I lay in bed wishing I had just a little more energy to write. But there is just nothing left in me. I am tired, my body is exhausted, and all I want to do is sleep. Mornings, I wake up and try to start the day, but by 10:30 I am on count down to 12:00 so I can sleep. Oh yes, I even serve lunch early if that is what it takes to get me on the couch sooner. I stay tired, and that is frustrating me terrible. I have 8 children to run after.
After two weeks of Bible school running-I would take the children out and the bus would drop them off here again. But with all the other schedules to mesh, it was taking a toll on me. By Saturday I had another one of those physical melt downs. Bad enough, I didn't leave the yard until my blood pressure felt stabilized again. Sunday morning the "stove shot willie". That term means, I stayed in bed all day long, and just let the world go by. By Monday morning, I was starting to feel better, but it didn't take much for me to start feeling weird again. So I took it easy all day, rested, drank tea, cleaned up the kitchen... My girls are wonderful. Cooking, doing laundry, etc.
I feel certain, that if I would have rested and eaten the way I should have after the baby was here, I would feel differently. But between conflicting schedules, Dr. appointments, Dentist appointments, etc. there truly was no time to rest.
So here I am, hoping another night of rest will get me even further tomorrow!

So long~
