Spring is here. Love the warmth and the sunshine.

The flowers and trees are so pretty to look at, but if you have Springtime allergies, it can also be not so pretty.

I’ve been fighting allergy related symptoms for about 2 1/2 weeks now, and I fear that it is just the beginning of what is likely to be a very long Spring of sickness.

It all started when I laid in bed on a Saturday night a couple weeks ago and the room started spinning. The spinning made me sick to my stomach and I spent the rest of the long night willing the spinning to go away and for me to quit throwing up. It didn’t work too well. To make it even worse, my hubby was out of town for work. Bad timing!

I felt like this off and on for over a week.

Not fun!

It was accompanied by ear pain, so I finally went to the dr this past week. I have fluid behind my ear drums which is causing an inner ear disturbance. So, I’m on nasal spray now in addition to my daily allergy meds.

If I don’t start to feel better in the next couple days, I’m going to go get a steroid shot.

I have been feeling icky and laying around without much energy for the past couple weeks and I’ve just about had it with that!

With the lack of energy that I’ve been experiencing, I’ve been cutting corners around the house wherever possible. I started throwing all the socks in a laundry basket and haven’t folded any in about a week. Today, I spread them all out and started folding. I had several strays with no match, so I pulled out the stash of lonely socks I already had thinking I’d be able to match them all up. No luck! These are all the socks without a mate… we looked in everyone’s sock drawers to see if we found any stragglers and NONE! I am so sick of holding on to all of these socks waiting for the matches to show up…they are now in the trash.

Where in the world did this many socks disappear to?!?!?!?!?!

It’s Spring break this week (Wed-Fri) and I’m dreaming of being at a nice warm, sunny, beautiful place. Really, I’d even take somewhere closer to home… I’d take anything. We aren’t doing anything fun. We are working and going about life as usual. Except I will have extra little bodies at home all day and I will be doing a lot more cooking, cleaning, supervising and refereeing. It’s all good though. Maybe I’ll get some of my energy back and we can even go do something fun during the day one day? Although going to the park is about as “fun” as it’s gonna get! What else is there to do that is close and free :)

I have to admit, I’ve been pouting about the lack of vacation-ness in my life for a while now. I love to go, travel and see. It’s been a stressful winter and going well over a year without a vacation and no breaks in sight…well… it’s just depressing sometimes. But, I’ve gotta keep my head held high and my eyes on the prize. God has given us other things to spend our money on besides vacations at his stage in our life and I know that it will all be worth it when we are able to accomplish that which he has set before us. (Maybe I should stay off facebook for the next week or so—that way I won’t have to look at everyone’s mobile uploads of plane rides, beaches and other fabulous vacationey stuff :)

I haven’t been to the gym since October when Gracie started staying home with me. This is the longest I’ve gone without working out in years. I’m starting to feel it. I’ve got to figure out a time to start going back a few days a week. I HATE working out at home and have no motivation to do it. I don’t like going in the evenings, b/c IF my hubby is home, then I want to be with him…we don’t spend nearly enough time together as it is, so the last thing I want to do is leave him.

When do you other busy moms find the time to workout??

Lastly, what’s for dinner this week?? I have no motivation to cook whatsoever. Maybe it also goes along with the lack of energy, but I don’t even feel like warming up a hot dog or a can of spaghetti-o’s. What is with me? I’ve gotta get it together and figure out what to cook my munchkins this week!
