Is it really possible to be this exhausted? I wonder if this is how new mom's feel? I guess I'd have to ask someone who had mono and has been a new mom, because it's the only way they'd know. Anyway, I just don't get it. I'm supposed to be getting about 10 hours of sleep a night, which usually is really easy, I just fall into bed and sleep at the drop of the hat. Yesterday/last night were the exceptions. I left church early so I could go home and take a nap, only I got here and couldn't sleep. It didn't help that my little cousins came running into the house looking for, of all things- pudding? I assume they found it since they didn't stay long, and I have no idea where my mom keeps that stuff. So I didn't get the usual nap, then last night I COULDN'T SLEEP again. I stayed up until about 4 am, talking to my sister Annie who was nice enough to stay up with me, and eventually slept a little. Today I feel like I'm moving in slow motion, I'm hating being sick, hating being tired, and trying really hard to think of something to be happy about. I can't think of anything, help! Is this ever going to go away? February 18, February 18, hurry up and get here!!
P.S. I've realized more than ever that I get really whiny when I'm "under the weather." Feel free to ignore this post.
P.P.S. Feb. 18 is my birthday and it's the date I've decided that I'll be completely healed- able to ride in cars (now every bump makes my stomach turn), stand up for longer than a few minutes (The other day I grated some cheese, but had to have my mom finish the block so I could sit down), and start working again!

So what's going on on the 18th?! I think is not as bad when you are new mother and there are not other kids to take care of. The worst is when you have other kids that depend on you and a house to keep up with and a brand new baby that won't let you sleep at night and demands constant attention.
Now that could be a more accurate comparison as to the level of tiredness.
