Painful

 I hate pain. I hate my pain. I hate my children's pain more.

That said, I have this crazy swollen vein in (on?) my leg that is at last causing me MUCH pain. This shows me that I do in fact have to slow the f-word down. I can't in "wear" the baby and stand up nonstop for 12 hours a day, with out causing something bad to happen to my body. My body has created a way to force myself to stop my current pattern and come up with a new game plan.

Yay me.

So after some major self pity, I have taken a few doses of my vein tonic, some herbal anti-inflammatory, extra fish oil and did some yoga, I can tell you that at least the pain is a bit better. Less swollen too.

Now on to the fun part of reconstructing my days to make life a little less heavy on the ol' feet, erm...and legs.

Guess I better finish losing all the baby weight. For real, no joking around now Melissa. (Ya, this post is also performing as a written reminder to myself to keep getting my shit together.)

But while dealing with that, I realize that my Tam has a slight fever, flushed pink cheeks, glossy glazed eyes, it all makes mama's heart sad!

Poor doll, our constant on the go days, and tons of time around other kids plus in and out of the rain everyday has drained her little immune system.

Right into bed, after a hit of children's health tonic, she is fast asleep, boosting her body's ability to fight fight FIGHT.

Praying for a peace filled night.
