Random thoughts and just checking in...

So, this week has been hectic, but okay overall. Things of note:
  • Moxie's cafepress store is up (NEED me a mug and a bumper sticker and a tee and just maybe even a hoodie or a onesie)!
  • Found a "staff" sitter - our go-to person when we are in need. Woo hoo!
  • Seem to be improving in the sleep arena, now if we could work on generalized fussiness...
  • Wondering if I am getting a head cold or have somehow developed allergies?
  • Frustrated already with ship life and even more so because I know HE is frustrated probably worse than me.
  • Feeling like I have no time to accomplish it all - cleaning, organizing, decorating, exercising, etc. Why does it feel like even though I cross things off my list, it never gets smaller because there is always something to be added? This is crazy making!
  • Preparing for a big trip "home" to see the fam for 10 days - driving BY MYSELF with the baby and 2 dogs. Fully prepared for this to be a "bad movie" - just steeling myself for the worst and hoping for the best. Also, sleep calming down just in time to eff it all up again. Trying to just not think, as this tactic seems to work quite well for me.
  • Have some big decisions to make regarding work which is awkward and never fun. Enough said.
  • Feeling as if the life is literally being sucked out of my by my toddler, and yet somehow, it is still NEVER enough for her. It's not that bad overall, but there are moments where I feel all dried up (and NO I am not talking about nursing!).
  • Wanting to decorate this weekend and wondering if that is wise considering the state my house is in and how low my energy can be.
  • Aggravated with myself over the abysmal week with exercise and skin brushing. Eating my veggies and supplements and water, but still. I was feeling so good and seeing change and then I just came to a screeching halt. I have motivation and intent, however it is time I am short on since I am limited to working out at night (and I don't think it would be effective with baby screech monkey plastered to my leg). Past 9 pm and it is way too late, I am sorry! So I need to get moving! Need to keep up my positive momentum.
  • Did I mention I need money?
Anyways, I think that is all that is rattling around in my head for now. What's plaguing you? It helps to clear the air sometimes to sort yourself out, especially before the added craziness (albeit good, most of the time) of the holiday season. Ho Ho Ho!

I'm glad to hear that sleep is getting a bit better. Considering we seem to have the same child, I'm going to hope that means that mine will be getting better sleep too! hehe.

I hear ya about the time to do, well, anything. I am just to tired and to busy. I still can't get over the fact we didn't decorate for Halloween. I definitely need to find the energy to decorate for Christmas.
