crummy

i always try to put my best and happiest face forward for my blog, but this week, i just feel crummy. i have so much to happy about and grateful for that i hate to complain, but i have just been o-f-f, off.
i have been exhausted. all day. i have a hard time getting up, a hard time staying up, and have gone to bed as early as 7:45.
i have been dizzy and lightheaded and weak. i have been nauseous. i am sure that i am fighting off the local bug because i have been this way all week and am now beginning the first signs of fever-ish heat and chills. all of my kids have had the pukes. i don't want them.
the kids have been way off and i have hard a hard time being positive and reeling them in. we spent 45 minutes on thursday talking about "kindness" and what it means to be kind, what it looks like... how to be kind. these kids were stumped when i tried to make a list with them... "walk old ladies across a street?" well, yes, but... let's talk about school.
i sprained my pinkie today. do you know how much you use your pinkie? alot.
i have a "to do" list that is not getting any shorter... i just can't bring myself to do it.
so tomorrow will be full of tea and naps and baths and books. i have my lesson plans to do but hopefully i can just try to rest and catch up with myself.
vitamins, anyone?

my first thought is are you pregnant, not sick? those symptoms all fit early pregnancy. but maybe i just have baby on the brain! :)

second, it's late Sunday so i hope you did relax all day with various hot liquids (tea, soup, bath, etc) and I hope you are feeling recharged!

Yeah, prenatal vitamins maybe, and a pee test. :) Feel better, I'm thinking of you.

Oh my, I just read the two comments prior to mine. Prenatal vitamins all the way!

Feel better! Have some soup, drink some tea, relax in a warm bath and get a good nights sleep. Like all crummy days, it'll pass.
