Emotional Overload

Have you had an emotional overload day while pregnant? I think it is something that I have as a pregnancy side effect. I don't get morning sickness bad. I have never had heart burn but emotional overload days, they just suck!


This morning was the worst one yet and I think that it wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't have to deal with my mom and her attitude this morning. 


When I get these emotional days I just feel like crying. I can barely function and just want to sit and cry about everything. It normally starts right after I wake up, whether it be from a nap or over night. The only cure is to lay back down and get more sleep.


Like I said, today was the worst one yet and I felt horrible because I couldn't just curl up on the couch and rest like I have in the past. With Rex it's hard to actually get a nap and really feel better quickly but today I had to do something. I had him pick out a movie and I went and laid in bed. I felt like a horrible mom but we have his hematologist follow up appointment from his surgery that I had to get better. 


He did great. It took about 1.5 hours of laying down to help me feel better. He watched his movie and then went in his room to play. He came in once to my room and checked on me and it was so cute. I'm glad that we have the lay out we do because I was able to feel somewhat comfortable laying in bed while Rex played in the rooms around me. Before it would have been another floor and it just wouldn't have worked. 


I feel better, I still have a little headache but it's not overwhelming me and making me want to cry. I got a shower and I'm needing to finish getting ready and lunch made so we can head out to the doctor. 


M was great too. I called him crying because I didn't know what to do or how to feel. He just told me to go lay down and get some rest and let him know how I felt after I got some rest. And he called my dad who is working close to home to let him know I wasn't feeling well so if he had a chance or if I really needed help he would be prepared to come home. He's such a great hubby when I need him to be!


Does anyone else have these crazy emotional overload days or is this just something that I go through?

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Changing My Lifestyle!

Well not only walking but just in general changing my lifestyle. I am currently overweight according to the doctors and the horrible BMI chart by 60 pounds. I seriously don't think that I will ever loose that much weight ever again. If I do great but not my goal because I want something attainable.  I have tried some many different things to lose weight and it just never works. Before I was pregnant I was right where I am now. My body has changed since I was pregnant but the weight is still the same. The good news I didn't gain anything after the pregnancy but the bad news is I still need to do something. So I'm going through the Made to Crave book and I love it. I have decided to change many different things about my lifestyle. I want to be able to have the energy to keep up with Rex and enjoy my life and right now it just doesn't seem to be everything it should be.  So here is what I have started doing...I eat only things God created. Fruits, veggies, healthy...

Frumpy or Fabulous?

Staying at home can create a sense of comfort. Allowing to stay in PJ's all day, enjoying just lounging of the couch and eating bon bon's. However for most of us homemakers we do not have this luxury of lounging and bon bon's. We have things to do with our children, house cleaning to do, and many thing outside of the house. Sometimes getting dressed in the morning just seems pointless. Excuses like I have to clean so why would I put on my 'nice' clothes or the baby is just going to spit up on me so I should just stay in my pj's since I will have to change later anyway. These are valid reasons on some  days to stay in our pj's but most  days we should get up and get ready just like if we worked outside of the home. It shows our husbands that we care about him and we try to make sure that we look good for him. It also shows are children good habits of getting up and getting dressed and ready for the day. If you read in Proverbs 31 you will see what a wif...
