Turning the corner.......

I feel like I need to update a bit after my entry this morning.  I don't mean to be a complainer and I really try to stay positive but there are times where I need to throw a little pity party - not that I expect anyone to show up. 

My mom took me to the family doctor today where I got a mild sleeping pill to take tonight and for the next 3 nights.  This should help kick my system back into normal sleep.  After coming home I was beyond exhausted from my outing so I laid on the couch while my  mom made me lunch and part of dinner for tonight.  While we were gone my Dad put all my Christmas stuff away, rearranged my furniture and risked him life in our garage while putting all the Christmas boxes up in the rafters.  Not long after they left I was sound asleep and had a GREAT 2 hour nap.  I actually felt really good when I woke up. 

Tonight I was able to eat dinner with the kids, bathe them, have a movie night with popcorn and apple slices (oh and "sticks" at Sam's request) and put them to bed.  All with Kurt's help of course but I felt like a mom again!!!  Jack said to me "Mommy you are really better".  I told him I was working on it but felt a lot better then yesterday and the days before. 

So I've jumped off the pity train and I'm back to feeling blessed and normal for tonight.  Leanne came by tonight to help with the boys and drop some work stuff off for me.  She's a friend that anyone would be lucky to have in their lives.  Jo and I texted most of the day about her destination wedding which makes me want to go now and not wait until next year.  Normal is good and it's all that I've wanted to feel in the last 5 days.  I want to celebrate my friends' joys and be there for their sorrows.....just like always.  I think I'm starting to finally turn the corner with the side effects of the meds and hoping that tomorrow is a good day.
