Do you ever have a day that just feels like it never really got started? Such was my day today.
I had a horrible night of tossing and turning last night and didn't get much sleep. I was feeling a little low in energy and just a touch queasy after getting the kids to school so I decided just to take it easy and do some reading this morning (I received several books for Christmas and hadn't had the chance to read any of them yet.) As you can imagine, I spent the next few hours in and out of dosey, non-satisfying nodding off type of sleep and was eventually fully brought out of my stupor with a call from my sister sometime mid-morning. That turned out to be a long conversation that my psyche really needed, but by the time I got off the phone it was already time to make lunch for a couple of famished 5 year-olds.
The early afternoon was filled with more lying on the couch trying to read which was followed by a stand off between me and the commode as I tried to will my self not to be sick. (I've been trying to ween myself off my unisom regimen and I'm learning that although I've been feeling OK, I'm not really ready to stop taking it just yet. Unfortunately that's a lesson I always have to learn the hard way.) But I'm happy to say I won the nausea stand off of the day (at least for now)and was able to think about other things until I felt better enough get some food on my stomach.
After that I of course had to make chocolate chip cookies. My kids were really in need of a project and a snack so making cookies seemed like a much better use of my time than attacking the piles of dishes that have been (and still are!)building up in my sink. Plus my sweet little three-year old friend who spends her afternoons at our house batted her big eyes and said, "I need some chocolate." I just couldn't resist! (note to her mother: I don't always give in, I promise!)
And before I knew it, it was time to take my son to piano lessons, which was my only must-get-done item on my agenda all day. And after piano lessons the day is pretty much done.
I was blessed at dinner time by a spontaneous birthday pizza party for our favorite little buddy next door, so I didn't have to cook, which is a good thing because I'm still queasy. I honestly just want to eat a few more chocolate chip cookies and go to bed.
So here I am at the end of the day, with no idea how I got here.
Don't you hate it when that happens?!

Yeah--I've even had days where I swear I'm running around doing all kinds of things, and the end of the day wonder what I was doing because it doens't feel or look like I've accomplished a single dang thing.
Hope that in the very near future you don't need the Unisom anymore!
I have had sit around and read and wonder if I should be doing something else days for the past TWO days and I don't have the pregnancy excuse! Eat a few cookies for me and call it a day!
You know how sports teams sometimes have those BYE weeks where they aren't scheduled to play a game? I think that pregnant moms get an extra dose of BYE days. And if you feel like puking all day and it turns out that what you feel like eating is chocolate chip cookies and pizza, I think that healthy food gets a BYE for the day as well.
...or love it when that happens??? Sometimes it is so nice to not go anywhere or do anything...except eat chocolate chip cookies. I say enjoy it!
Oh, you have all my compassion in the world. I HATE that nausea feeling. It just makes me want to sit around and watch HGTV all day...and that's what I did, for about 4 months straight last year. Blessings on you, Sarah. I hope the sickness passes quickly.
