Why am I tired?
Well, since my last post things got worse before they got better. On Wednesday Emma was sicker than ever, and it was terrible. Easily my worst day of motherhood. Her fever was high, her cough was constant, and nothing made her happy. I mean nothing. The happiest we could get her was if she was snuggled with mommy, but even then she was whining and crying. Adding to my misery was that she slept poorly on Tuesday night, so I didn't get to sleep at all. I was a zombie. Yesterday was a little better, though really just more of the same. She seems alot better today though, which is a blessing. Unfortunately, I am feeling pretty crappy. Which leads me to.....
Why am I drugged?
Lucky me, I got sick too! It started on Wednesday...coughing, pain in my lungs, and trouble breathing....all very bad things for an asthmatic to have. So off I went to the doctor yesterday, and he told me exactly what I didn't want to hear....leave it alone and probably end up in the hospital with a major asthma attack, or take some meds. Seems like an easy decision huh? But the med I have to take is called Prednisone....it's a major oral steroid, I have taken it in the past and I hate it. This drug has some crazy side effects: dizziness, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, extreme changes in mood, changes in personality and headache. That's not all of the side effects, but those are the ones that I usually experience. In short, this drug makes me temporarily insane - I feel like crawling out of my skin. Good times, right? So I apologize in advance to all of those I love, just in case I snap at you, or am just a bitch, or whatever.
Last, but not least....Why do I hate the snow?
This all started on Sunday, when the snow came. The snow brought all this suffering to me. Irrational? Maybe. But I am going to blame the snow anyway, and I will blame the irrationality on the drugs.
Hope everyone is good. I promise my next post will be perkier....or bitchier....or both! :)
