Reflecting on Today

Today has been a strange day. I have not felt like myself. I woke up with a spring in my step, and by the time Brook and I had gotten ourselves fed and ready for the day I was exhausted. We curled up on the couch together with a blanket and some cartoons and I fell asleep. I was planning on spending 15 minutes watching TV and woke up an hour later! Yikes. That was not how I wanted to spend the morning. Brook didn't seem to mind.

Trev showed up and noon for lunch. I had forgotten about lunch. While whipping up some french toast I burned my hand on the frying pan. My co-ordination has been lacking lately.

After lunch we cleaned out the Dog house (my annual fall cleaning) by shaking out all the blankets and sweeping out all the gravel. After shoving them all back in with the rake handle I noticed the worlds biggest wasp nest attached to the inside wall of the dog house. After thanking God that it was a vacant wasp nest it became very clear why the dog layed out in the rain this summer when she had a "perfectly good" dog house. I just thought she was being overly dramatic, laying on the step whimpering. Then came a wave of guilt, and a few tears. Goodness my hormones are a mess.

I put Brook down for a nap and went back outside to trim Sam's nails. I got them all done and then on the last nail I clipped it too short. She yelped, started to bleed, and I cried a little bit more. Oh goodness....

I went back inside feeling really tired. Then all of the sudden I felt like cleaning. I cleaned the bathroom, dusted, windexed and vacumed the afternoon away.

Trev came home for supper. I had forgotten about supper. After I whipped up some taco's Trev decided to take Brook to her first Broncos Hockey game this evening. It is a good thing I have some time alone this evening, because I am not really feeling like myself.

You're so cute Jamie. I don't think I've ever cried about a dog while pregnant...but certainly about A LOT of other things. Just ask Joel about the time I threw a shoe at him...I believe I was pregnant with Judah. And I was having a conniption about scuff mark's on the floor...not my proudest moment.
Hope you feel a bit better now, and a little more like yourself.
