Getting Tired

The holidays are over, the family gatherings are over, the food is over, the travel is over.
We made it to the new year without nuch ill effect of the virus going around...
except my son started the Sunday before New Years, with a sore throat... and it went downhill from there. He had three days of school that week, I sent him one, they sent him back home.  Yesterday he went to school, all seemed well.

Today we were getting ready to leave for school and his stomach decided it didn't want to go... so I left him in the bathroom and called him into school.

My mom is telling me she is "getting a sore throat". I love her, but sometimes I think it might be het imagination. Oh well.

Me, I am plugging along and am suddenly just plain beat. I have no time to be sick... but I am getting so tired... just want my normal routine back...

Before I was a mom...

I worked, I lived, and that was it. Nothing special, nothing important, nothing drop-dead fabulous. Just a working stiff since high school, still with no popularity, and truly no social life. I was just a face in the crowd. Now my son, fourteen years old, is the center of my world. He has pushed me and challenged me, forcing me to step outside my comfort zone and be a little spontaneous. I also know, that as a mom, I don't sleep well or even through the night. I wake to every sound... The thunder, the sleep-talking, the 5-lb snoring and wheezing cat. Yep, I am a mom, running on no sleep, and loving it anyway.

how do you shut down your mind?

Last night I laid in bed and my mind kept running. I couldn't get it to shut down to sleep or even slow down. How frustrating.
