Today was one of those rough days…
Nothing particularly bad happened. I woke up feeling pretty good, even prayed BEFORE I got out of bed. The kids were happy and playful before school. I was feeling better, the sinus infection medication I’m taking was working! And I was able to go to my last video session on The Patriarchs, ahhh.
When I got home from the study, Tom was on his way to work, and I had lunch. Then I got tired. It was time to go to the bank, Lowes, the Post Office, the printing store and pick up the kids to do homework, discipline (if necessary) cook dinner, do haircuts, get the boys in baths then bed, shower for myself and, if I can manage a whole conversation, without yawning, maybe I could catch up on my day with Tom.
I got to the bank, fine. I got to Lowes, successfully found my item, the the Post office, no problem. On my way to the printers I was at the stop light next to DairyQueen. I found myself having a pity party and telling God why I needed to stop and get a Blizzard. Nobody would see me, right? It would make me feel better. But there was victory! I drove on past.
Then I got to the printers and they couldn’t do the laminating I needed and told me my only option was to go to Savannah. That is NOT an easy task. It take about 30-45 min to get to the shopping district and so, if I need to go to Savannah for ANYTHING, I plan to do everything I can while I am there so I don’t need to go again! So when I left the print shop I felt overwhelmed. I was feeling tired at lunch and now I was a puddle in the car. Why does this happen? It’s weird.
I got the kids and got them home to find out that Carson had another bad day at school, puddle again. And, since moms aren’t allowed to be sick, I kept myself busy in the kitchen. What I really want to do is cry and take a shower and go to bed.
So leading up to this day things were good. I have been doing the HCG diet and I am on an HCG break now following an Atkins style diet. I have lost 23 lbs in one month. I feel good too! But I must admit I am not really looking forward to the holidays this year. I hat being fat. I hate that I can’t eat the things I want. I really feel like one of the kids when they say to me “why do I have to do that! Why can’t you just let me do what I want to do?!” Why God?
