On Friday I decided to dedicate my WHOLE day to trying to get well. I was tired of being sick and not able to do much, so I vegetated and waited for my cold to go away. It didn’t really. So I went to bed and to my shock Nathaniel woke me up SEVERAL times so by morning I was sort of “ugg!” I did my meal planning and we hit the grocery stores, came home and watched football. I was determined that after the Seattle game I would be able to go to sleep, be well rested and go to church!
NOPE! Nathaniel woke me up at 2 am. Then didn’t want to go back to sleep. At 3:30 I decided to go downstairs as he wasn’t sleeping. I put him in the playpen with some water and coconut flakes and proceeded to make ketchup at 4 am. Yeah not normal but I knew it needed to be done, and if I was going to be up, I might as well be productive. 😉 Around 5 am I was able to get him to go to sleep. Tony got up at about 6:30 to go to church and I said “yeah right!” rolled over and went back to sleep. Last I heard was Max was VERY asleep and that he was going to stay with me. 30 minutes later Nathaniel pees on me and I lay there in pee for the next hour. Finally I am clearly sleep deprived but I get up and try to keep Nathaniel quiet as to not wake up Max who must be still sleeping.
NOPE! He isn’t in his bed!! I freak out. Where is Max?? It is about 18 degrees outside so I frantically text Tony who says he has him (a bit too late). Thankfully it wasn’t anything bad. I then go downstairs and proceed to try to get some cooking done. After all I must prep for the week right? I get some done but then hit a wall from lack of sleep. That night I finally get a full night sleep and surprisingly I feel WAY better in the morning!
It is Monday. I have a full day of German Story time, Doctor for Nathaniel, and Max story/art time at the library. I am doing alright through it all then I get to the doctor and they tell me I am in the wrong office! After the day I had before I start second guessing myself but then I realize that with the day I had, I know I wouldn’t have scheduled it elsewhere. So they agree to reschedule me and not charge me. I get another full night rest.
I wake up yesterday ready for the swim class for Nathaniel. He has fun and does all that is asked, he just screams through it. Ha ha! We come home I try to finish the cooking I need to do, and then we take a nap and next thing I know it is night time. Last night I sleep through the night even better!
So as you can see it was just one thing after another after another. I think I am doing well with sleep and my cold is about 90% gone.
We are doing well with the detox. The food is really good, though I admit I need to eat more fat. It is always something. I will be talking more about the detox in the weeks and months ahead as we get closer to our 11 day memorial sugar detox! I think I need to start another page for that too. Will do that soon!
