Have you ever learned that something you assumed happened to everyone...doesn't? For example, I learned last week that not everyone feels shortness of breath when they lay down. I mean, I just assumed. When I lay down at night I feel like I just got done jogging and have to catch my breath. All I did was lay down! I also thought it was because I don't exercise that I was always huffing and puffing by the time I got up Denise's stairs. I kept commenting that I couldn't believe she had to climb them all the time. Well, that probably was partly due to me REALLY not being in shape. =) Anyhow. I've been bothered with fatigue and blacking out for years now. And there's actually a reason!! I have mitral valve regurgitation. You know how much I'm going to use this as an excuse?! All the time. "you know, my kitchen really could use a little cleaning(okay, a LOT of cleaning) but I'm just so FATIGUED that I don't feel up to it-can't really help it with the heart condition and all." Depressingly I was reading an article on the importance of food choices to maintain energy levels. You mean eating muddy buddies for breakfast, lunch and umm, at least one snack today is not going to help with the fatigue? So sad. Maybe I really should start eating right and exercising and see how i feel. (sigh)
Anyhow. I realized its been ages since I blogged... Brynne gave me the crafting bug so I've been making stuff for the girls. I keep finding new things on blog tutorials I want to try and my stack of projects has piled up way high. I'm already predicting I'm going to burn out on sewing long before I finish them. =) I always come back to my hobbies though. This one is probably better than when I immerse myself in video games for weeks! What I really wish I would feel like doing is scrapbooking. I am getting so far behind. I have a plastic set of drawers with scrapbook supplies that is sitting on the shelf in my room. It stares at me all the time. I think I might just move it so I don't feel guilty about it. Yea, that's the solution to my problem, Hide it!
Danica seems to be liking school all right. It seems weird to think there are just two months left of her being in first grade. I was trying to think of what she's been up to. Really she just plays with her sister a lot. Does anyone agree with me that two kids are easier than one? I wait impatiently for when Danica gets home so she can entertain her sister. Its hard to keep up with Mira sometimes. Hmm, maybe it would be easier if I didn't feel so FATIGUED! See?! This is working already. Of course, I bet 90% of the problem is that its 4:30 in the morning and I am still awake! Ok, that might be 98% of the problem.
Mira is a little whirlwind. She's always on the go, getting into everything, chattering at us nonstop and seeing what she can get away with. I love it. Such a great age. My baby will be two in two months. =( I should probably blog about the girls some other time when I can think.
Hmm, what else is going on... Neil got married and I now have the greatest sis-in-law ever. Rob is in his second to last term of grad school BUT his last term is going to be in the fall, not summer. That means I have the rest of the year before he drags me away to Timbuktu. I'm crossing my fingers he'll take me someplace sunnier. Okay, I LOVE Eugene but really-I want more sun! I worked a day last week and have a couple shifts coming up in the next month. A very timely blessing. I am still teaching 8 year olds at church. Poor Rob currently has no obligations since the EQP moved away and the presidency got released. He's been taking Mira to nursery since I'm overprotective and don't want her in there alone. I don't think he minds ;)
I get annoyed with trying to place pics on blogger so I am just going to make a new post that is full of pictures.
