So tired!

I am so very tired right now. On Friday, I spent seven hours at my sister's house doing laundry, and her oldest wanted to do nothing but play with me. And I played with him, but it was so exhausting. I wish I had that kid's energy. When I got home that night, I had to finish helping my hubby get things ready for the yard sale. It was hard work. Yesterday, we had our yard sale, and I went back and forth between the house and my father-in-law's. I also went back and forth to a kid's house who was buying some of my old clothes. Plus, I had to keep an eye on my son. I was out in the heat all day, and I was so tired, but I refused to take a nap because I knew that my hubby needed my help. Today, I woke up in a whole lot of pain, and I was so stiff. We took our son to a swim park here, and he HATED it. I swam a few laps while my hubby tried to play with Alex in this little sandy place. It wore me out, which upset me because I used to be able to swim laps and it usually didn't bother me. I have always loved to swim, but I just can't right now. My son was still upset, so I brought him home and let my hubby stay with the people we were with there. I am just so worn out, and there is so much straightening up around the house to do, and I know I need to do it, but I am just soooo tired. I need a day where I can just pamper myself and can lie around and relax.

Last year, we moved to the apartment that we live in now. We thought we were going to have both of my husband's brothers to help us, but only one decided to help us, so I had to do a lot of the work. The thing that helped me get through it was that I focused really hard on the task I was doing, and I kept moving. The adrenaline of all of it kept me going. When we were pretty much finished, the adrenaline wore off and I crashed, but I was able to be a big help. So, just try to focus on what you are doing, and if you keep yourself going and moving enough, the adrenaline will hide the fatigue and pain and you will be able to get things done. Good luck with the move, and thank you for being sympathic towards me. Thank you.

I'm not going to lie to you and say that it was easy on me. It was really hard. We have an upstairs apartment. BUT, just ride that adrenaline, really focus only on what you are doing, and you will make it through. That day, I was having a really bad flare, but it had to be done, and I just pushed myself, and with the pace we were moving, I was too busy to even think about pain. You can do it. You might, in all liklihood, feel like crap afterwards, but you can do it. I know that you can. You can find the strength to make it. That strength lies in all of us. We just have to know that it's there and keep repeating to ourselves that we ARE strong and we CAN get done what needs to be done, and it will happen. I wish you luck with the move.
