WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS!


Do you ever feel like this?
I have felt this way a lot lately. It is almost as if I am in the movie Groundhog's Day and every day is 
M-O-N-D-A-Y!

I am one of those who suffer with S.A.D.S. and with the weather and all being out of whack this spring, it sure has taken its toll on me. It has sucked me up in a whirlwind frenzy of emotions, drenched me with mounds of water from constant floods of tears, tossed and mangled my body with fear, nervousness, anxiety and then spit me back out again to this ever so unpredictable and unreliable world.

I hope for brighter days ahead and more positive situations.

My day yesterday went a little something like this:

woke up twice in the middle of the night for puppy pee time with Telly,
hit the snooze button several times in the morning to try and catch the last few minutes possible of sleep that I didn't get during the night,
got Tahoe, Telly and our doggy-sat dog Callie outside and fed them breakfast,
got myself dressed and ready for work at half awake capacity, 
drank breakfast on the go,  
drove frantically on the freeway to work to ensure I wasn't late, again, while listening to "Radio from Hell" on x96,
fanned myself off with a work file-folder because my 'hot flashes' last more than just a flash,
remembered that I forgot to put out our frozen steaks to thaw for dinner,
yawned a few times and google searched "why my left eye won't stop twitching",
did computer stuff that somehow reflects my job description but I had no clue what it was that I was doing while using the function of only one eye,
fanned myself again and used an entire box of tissues to wipe away all the sweat dripping down my face,
got home and checked in on all my pups giving them lots of hugs and kisses, 
became overwhelmed for the fifty-hundredth time and cried uncontrollably again, 
forced myself and Tahoe on a jog down Wasatch trying to count the many blessings in my life that I have been given,
headed to the grocery store to buy new steaks,
started the never-ending loads of laundry that seem to be stalking me around the house in heaping piles,
yawned some more and wished for a D.P. to rid my migraines, 
started building the A.R.K. for primary that is a gazillion feet long out of teacher butcher paper using only 30% of my potential function due to lack of sleep, 
texted Sweets to find out what time, or how long, he would be home for,
grilled up the seasoned steaks and paired them with a steamed spinach, grape and almond salad, 
cleaned up after dinner and loaded the 2nd dishwasher because I never unloaded the 1st dishwasher from the day before,
fed my pups dinner and snuggled with them until they could no longer stand me,
attempted to sit for a nano-second without having to feel guilty and catch my breath while the laundry room kept beeping at me to change loads, 
changed the loads of laundry and folded all the clothes, 
yawned again, 
stuck my head in the freezer and realized I was still sweating so went for the whole body in the freezer thing, 
shed one or two more tears before Sweets invited me to Home Depot with him to buy a drill,  
cleaned up the last bit of dishes and wiped down the kitchen while putting the laundry back into its respective place, 
binged ate a handful of BBQ chips, 
showered and got ready for bed,
let out a big and much deserved sigh,
watched True Grit with my Sweets, Tahoe, Telly and Callie, 
fell asleep feeling completely worn out!

I am usually not one for such a Debbie Downer post, but I got to be honest with all of you! This is what goes on inside of me every day and each day it continues I feel worse and worse. Sorry Sweets for not confiding in you earlier, but thank you for being my constant rock! 
I love you!
