Thanks to the world for shining on me today. I just really needed it. Yesterday I hit my breaking point. I was exhausted, playdough was not cleaned up and milk was spilled on the floor and the dinner from the night prior had to be thrown away because it was inedible and it spilled in my oven and the mess it made to make it was still in my sink and I just lost my ever lovin' mind. I called my in - laws and they dropped what they were doing and came over and watched the girls so I could go to bed and then my parents came over a few hours later and took the girls home so I could get a decent night's sleep. Katie had a cold since Wednesday and had been coming into my bed each night at 2:30 a..m. to chat until 5:30 a.m. then Jessica had been getting up at 6am and I am already at only about 10% of full functioning from the blood transfusion and the iron issues. However, when I woke up today to Mike's phone call and subsequent pep talk I felt much better. I had a full night's sleep. I had a great chat with my husband who explained that he didn't think I was a loser and that he was fine and we were fine and everything was gonna be okay. I showered. I washed all my bedding. My parents took the girls to get haircuts. I met my parents for lunch with the girls and brought them back to the house. They took full naps. A really great girl in my ward brought over a yummy dinner. I had a blessing. And then I talked to Mike again tonight. All in all, that's a pretty great day. Tomorrow I have my infusion. I feel more peace about it now than I did yesterday even though I am still scared. But it'll be okay in the end and I know these infusions are going to make me feel a lot better. And I even got A LOT of Christmas shopping done online. That really helps my mental state out a lot too.
Thanks to everyone for their prayers and for their positive feelings. I feel very loved today.
