14w, 2d
I went to a short play yesterday with my kids and my mom. It was an hour long, geared towards kids, and all I did was sit. Then we went out to lunch afterward. You wouldn't think that was a big deal but it all did me. I just can't do things anymore. I spent the night on the couch and just felt so awful and tired all day today. I seriously don't know what I would do without my mom's help, but at the moment I am starting to doubt how much she is really helping out.
I get that she is busy. She has been helping with my kids pretty much every day. On top of that, she helps with my sister's two kids. On Tuesday she had to leave around lunch time to go get my niece from cheer leading practice. That left me to make lunch and entertain my kids alone for a couple hours before their nap. Okay fine. It was hot out and I plopped them down with a movie while I rested on the couch. Then without any warning, she did the same thing today. Just up and left before lunch. I felt like complete ass today. It is so hot it isn't like I can DO anything with my kids. It is too hot for me to take them outside. I can't even come up with the energy to play games or otherwise entertain them. So, back to watching a movie again today. Even when she is watching them, it isn't like I really get to rest like I would like to. I thought I would have a chance to lay on the couch while my mom had the kids downstairs. Then DS1 had to come up to poop and I had to get up to help him wipe. Then back on the couch for a few minutes until I had to pee. Then back o the couch for a few minutes until I had to get up to barf. My mom called me today to let me know that tomorrow she won't have to watch my niece and nephew. Good, a day to finally sit and relax. That was until she let me know that she has lunch plans which means another day of me having to get lunch together for my kids and figuring out some way to distract them enough not to kill each other.
I feel like I just better not say anything either. At this point, it isn't like I am under any sort of medical restrictions that require me to lay on the couch all the time. I am just trying to listen to my body and my body says to lay on the couch and do nothing. Not really in the mood to tick my mom off and get her mad at me and then up really needing her if I am on bed rest.
Speaking of bed and resting... night night.
