It's Going Around

Blissful uninterrupted sleep I had last night, and this morning I hear the whole story.  For many reasons my usual busy Monday got rearranged and I had the night off, I didn't get to bed probably until almost 10pm.  I was exhausted and did not rouse until about 5:30am this morning when I felt like I had no room in my side of the bed, looked over and saw my baby, I had no idea he was there.  My husband said he came to our bed about midnight and stood on my side just looking at me, I usually hear him or feel his presence, wake up and put him in the middle of the bed, but I did not stir.  My husband said he stood there for what seemed like 5 minutes, and then my husband helped him onto the bed.  If you are thinking 5:30am is early, for our family it really isn't, my husband is in synagogue every morning by 6:30am, and my kids wake up from 6am-7am, so that sleep straight through was the magic.

What is going around you ask?

Nothing specific, but in general many people not feeling good.  Mine hit last Tuesday afternoon and now I hear others have had other versions of what seems like a stomach virus.  Other friends due to stress are having infections of all types.  Thank God I am feeling like myself again, I have been in my favorite state of non stop the last few days getting many things accomplished and feeling clear.  I am very blessed to have good genes, and live overall a healthy, active lifestyle.  When you throw kids, no sleep, and hormones in the mix, we all do the best we can to take care of ourselves, most importantly our strength and energy.  So when I feel off, I am really in a fog, I feel drugged, out of sorts.  The usual million of things that I could handle is traded in for a dazed and confused getting through the day, trying to function, and hope for the best.  Last Tuesday I had a class to teach at 6pm, not only was it the evening of our holiday and we had a table full of guests, the kids got out of school early, and since I am so lucky that my husband does all the food and house preparations, my job was to handle and entertain the kids.  Put not feeling good on top of that, and my husband running late, my baby being fussy when I got the call why I didn't show up for class, I said, oh no! I forgot.  Next time I will get a sub when we have a holiday and guests, and try to remember that my usual squeezing in of everything usually drives me nuts even if I get it all done.

I went to that 6pm class tonight and profusely apologized for my mommy insanity, and they were just happy I was OK, and we had an amazing class.  I felt so good that I went to my 7:15pm scheduled run with my friend and realized that instead of our usual half hour we were running and walking the hills of Beverlywood for an hour. Then I had my final class to teach at 9pm, just got home, feeling good, like myself again, excited to get a fabulous sleep.

Got my running shoes on and my brace, my ankle is happy, I wasn't wearing it when I retwisted my ankle, feel good now

It all goes back to sleep lately,
I just love it so much,
When I was a night person,
I loved my naps during the day,
Me and sleep have a relationship,
We truly love each other,
and miss each other,
hopefully soon we will be together more often,
now that the baby is sleeping better,
Thank God,
