Poloma, you are so lovely to listen to my snivelling!
And congratulations on the blue bump!
I start my leave Dec.1, at about 37 weeks.
I'm just starting to feel a bit desperate that I'm not going to be able to wrap everything up before I go. I was supposed to have more time and support than this, so far, and I'm starting to really feel the pressure. It takes so much energy to work with all those kids, and to do that on top of everything else just about killed me yesterday.
And to top it off, I am now up at 3:30 am with a full-blown sinus infection and insomnia.
I really need to take the weekend off, but if I do, next week's program will really suffer. I developed this program - it's my other baby! I am starting to get nervous about leaving it for a whole year.
Ah, it's just normal transitional anxiety, I'm sure, compounded by getting walloped by a cold.
It's so maddening - what I know would cure my cold and give me the energy to get it all done would be sleep. About nine hours of deep, unbroken sleep. This is when I really miss things like neo-citran - it knocks you out so your body can heal itself.
I shouldn't complain. I've had a ridiculously easy pregnancy and months of robust health and energy, and so many poor girls have been sick as dogs since conception.
And I know I've been burning the candle at both ends. This cold has been in the mail for a couple of weeks now.
I'm drowning it in hot lemon and honey, then I'm going to go back to bed.
I definitely won't get back to sleep sitting in front of the computer!
