Sick, Working, & Happy As Can Be!
I have somehow managed to be royally sick for the past three days. It got to be so bad, that I was inside my house with the heat on, wearing my coat.
I still managed to be freezing somehow, all Saturday night long! Luckily, I finally found a medicine that would work for me!
This morning, I woke up still a bit sick, but that's okay. Today, I get to start back working.
I have made about $2 so far this morning. I could have made more, but it's been almost three years since I have done this, so I am being painstakingly careful!
Right now, I am waiting with baited breath to see if my application that I have submitted goes all the way through.
If I am successful, I will have made some guy in Mississippi very happy. If all goes as planned, his phone should be online and working in just a few minutes!
Right now, the babies are all three asleep in their little beds in the nursery.
As for me, I am sitting in my bedroom actually working for the first time in quite a while!
To make it even better, I have been put back in touch with an old friend from work who is also doing the same thing from home.
As luck would have it, and coincidence that is much to uncanny, she has a beautiful set of twins that are nine months old! I think this is just the neatest thing!
I am so excited to be back doing something other than counting diapers or reading rhyming books.
You never really know how much you miss doing something more adult until you get the opportunity to spend some much needed time actually thinking and applying energy to a task other than that related to your home or babies.
Don't get me wrong, I adore staying home and raising my children. It's exactly what I want to do.
It's just that there are parts of your brain that go un-used when at home with the kids all day.
I hope to wake that part of me back up and get it moving and in shape again! It really does feel good to have to think on a different level than the norm!
I may be singing a different tune tomorrow, but for the moment, I am enjoying a bit of the outside adult world from the confines of my bedroom!

Mimi is the mother of four: a 12 1/2-year-old boy and 1-year-old triplets (two boys and one girl). She is very happily busy taking care of everyone, whether it's the triplets' multiple doctor appointments, attempting a shopping excursion or volunteering to plan her son's school renaissance festival.

I call it mommy brain. Sometimes I just feel so stupid. I know I'm not, but seriously after being at home with a baby constantly it's a wonder I can hold an adult conversation. How's your oldest doing with his meds? Congrats on the job.
thanks!
my eldest seems to be doing better-only time will tell for certain, though!
