thrown off my rocker.

what happened yesterday? so much for bouncing back as the day went on. that was the weirdest, strangest, most inconvenient non-friendly flu bug - or whatever it was - that attacked yesterday. immediately after i had written my post yesterday morning-ish, i became slightly non-functional. shaky. pukey. and a massive headache. was it the flu? food poisoning? ewwy grossness?

i called our wonderful neighbor to see if jess could play with myah while i tried to take a nap with miley. he generously agreed and i was off to bed. that didn't last long as jess felt the need to come back over for a snack...and then the potty...and then something else. all in the matter of thirty minutes. the waterworks started.

i resorted to calling the hubby at work. i think i've done this about one other time. and that was when i was on bed rest with miley and completely ill. there's just something about not feeling capable of taking care of your own kids. it's a horrible feeling. i was trying to tell myself to buck up. and as jacob's boss later put it, "tell her to rub some dirt on it." yeeeah. thanks boss. i'll get on that. jacob was very kindly able to leave work early and was home by noon. drama, i tell you. i slept until 4 pm with zero distractions. it was fabulous. and i felt like a new woman...with a heavy head.

and this morning is a new morning as well. completely better. somewhat well-rested (it was a challenging night with little ms. myles). so now i'm back to feeling optimistic of what accomplishments will get checked off the list today. and dances around the living room with little princesses.
