After Sam was born I had a small bout of what I like to call "clinical insanity". I saw a sock on the ground and curled up in a ball, crying my brains out....for like a week. It was weird because I like to think I'm on the even keel with my moods. I know that things can get pretty messed up after one has a baby, therefore I can see the pattern now. Today was an almost-curl-up-on-the-floor-in-a-ball-and cry-for-a-week-day. I realized that no matter how diligent I am with laundry, sweeping the floor, picking up toys, making supper etc etc etc , I WILL NEVER BE CAUGHT UP. The house will not look like I want it. My back WILL be so sore that I can't pull up my socks. I will not be rested enough to not slur my words and carry on an intelligible conversation. (I think I made that word up, but I'm unsure of its origins)
This may all be a side effect of my lame-o gall bladder that formed its own stones to ensure an inevitable demise. Dumb organ that self destructs. Who needs ya? Not me! So, to those who have had gall stones due to pregnancy (or having the worst luck on the planet), I now understand the sheer terror of eating something you know you shouldn't. I didn't know something other than childbirth and falling down a ravine with sharp pokey rocks could be so excruciating. I will try not to eat anything fatty, and, barring that I will keep my allotted precious narcotics by my side. With that said,I will only dwell on the positive for the rest of the post: at least maybe not eating fats will help me lose my magical 20 pounds.

You poor kid. that sucks! You have yourself a cry, as a Mom, we totally deserve a good cry now and then...especially when youthink back and remember what it was like before kids, clean house, sleeping in, not having to eat veggies to set a good example...
You know what's awesome? When your kids are old enough to wake up and make their own breakfast. Just know you have that to look forward to someday. In the meantime, I recommend my technique of letting them watch Dora with a sippy cup and cheerios while you grab another hour of sleep. Sorry about the gallbladder.
gah! i hear ya on each front!
the house will never be clean so why bother! this year I have done so little because of this ha!
and I just had kidney stones, 3 episodes since Nataliya was born! it is like childbirth, oh my so much pain so I assume gall stones are similar! they should not be allowed!!
Hi Lindsay so sorry to hear what you've going through, are they going to take the stone out? i hope you feel better soon...
Awh. Moms don't need any of that. But hey, you're right, maybe those 20 will drop off so quick :)
yes, you have the worst luck in the world. Do not buy a lottery ticket or do anything even remotely dangerous. Give me a call, I'm home now! Lets get back to our ol' routine of me almost living at your house! haha
Lindsey you poor thing! Hope the gall situation is eased by the narcotics, that is no fun at all! Let me know if you want a break some time, Dust and I would love to watch the rascals! Just so you know I think you're doing an amazing job and you're pretty much the hottest Mama I've ever met!
