I know what you're thinking… "Is this girl ever going to crawl out from the rock she is lying under?"
The short answer is yes. The long answer is I'm not sure how long it will take.
While I'm not literally living under a rock there are some days I feel like crawling under it and just sleeping away.
First let me say that my life is fine. I'm just terribly exhausted. Like in taking naps during the week exhausted. As long as I've been married I think my Prince can count with one hand the naps I've taken. It's not my normal at all. Normally I'm like the energizer bunny running like a mad women at warp speed. Not so lately.
I told Russ I thought I was dying on Friday. Something MUST be wrong to be this tired and my lack of motivation! I went to the Dr. last week to see what is wrong with me. They did blood work. He confirmed I was in the "pre-pause" moment. *Insert LARGE eyeballs* Seriously? I guess I'm glad it confirmed my 3 weeks out of the month crabby like attitude. It also confirmed my own Summer my body has taken on a daily basis. Russ is freezing in the house while I have beads of sweat running down my face. Not lying. True story.
I guess I need to call Mr. Doc back and find out why am I so dang TIRED???
Whatever this *tired* feeling is I want it to go away. I haven't stamped in forever and each time I go to do it I walk away like I'm scared of it. With all of my moves I've never felt this way. I bounce back pretty fast. Mom said she is coming over this week to help me crack open the ink pads. I just pray she can jump start my energy.
All I've done lately is digital work. It's also been known to put me asleep while I sit in my recliner and digi scrap. My computer get's nice and warm and the next thing I know I could catch flies with my mouth wide open. The only thing that wakes me up is myself snoring. I'm really not kidding. This is why I told Russ I really think something is wrong with me.
I'm sure I will be fine. Maybe this move has just caught up with me. I'm perplexed as the rest of the family is running around like normal and I'm dragging.
Today it's my turn to share our Monday Digital Challenge. I'm excited because I chose a sketch. I love sketches and especially on days I have NO* none* zilch* motivation. This makes getting started so much easier.
Here is the sketch to get you started:
Remember, this is just a starting point. Get creative.
Here is the layout I created:
I used a new digital download called Beautiful Today. Love this kit and the contents.
Download the supplies and sketch: Weeee!!.

well, G.F…this is life, starting in the 40's lane; you are not alone in this area, so, you've got to accept what you can't always change…maybe Mr. Doc can give you a happy pill, to help you w/a smooth ride into the 40's…good luch!
Moving in itself is a huge event in one's life. Add "pre-pause" to it and you've earned the right to sleep under a rock! Be kind to yourself. Happy pills are good too!
When I hit "pre-pause" I slept ALL the time! I felt like if I stood long enough I would fall asleep standing up!
It does get better! be easy on yourself, you have had a lot going on in the last several months.
Bless your heart! I was wondering if u were ok:( Been there, done that – it WILL pass eventually. But girlfriend, u have been through it with this move! I was beginning to think you were super woman with all that you were doing! Prayers up for ya:) Love the look of this digital layout – but my favs are your non-digital ones – I just love the way you put stamps & embellishments to paper! Plus it helps keep us, ummm, mean-o-pawsall ladies from getting too warm & sleepy:) Take care & get plenty of rest – you worked hard for it. All will be ok, I promise:)
I'm about the same age as you and I have been exhausted beyond belief the last couple of months. So exhausted that I've fallen asleep at the dinner table more than once. It never even occurred to me that I might be pre-pausal. I keep thinking I'm not really THAT old. Thanks for sharing something so personal. I think I might need a visit to the Doc too.
Hope you feel better….. Not sure if your Dr. checked but make sure it's not your thyroid! That will make you feel extremely tired too!! If they checked your TSH, they may need to check for antibodies too!!
