I have found that when I start to feel better I start doing everything I normally do. And more because I'm playing catch up.
On Thursday, I started to feel a little better. I took it easy in the morning but by the afternoon I was cleaning, organizing & putting away groceries. All of a sudden I felt weak, like I was going to pass out. I immediately went to the couch. As my 3 yr old kept asking, "What's wrong? Can we open this box now? Where do these vegetables go?" I kept telling him to wait & finally explained that I didn't feel well & needed to rest. That started the WHY questions. It was all so overwhelming for him & me. I desperately needed to rest but as a mother I also needed to calm him & give him answers. After I felt better, I tried to explain. Hoping his little brain understood. That night he woke up at midnight, 1am & 4am, screaming for mommy.
After that, I promised myself I would not 'overdo' it anymore. It wasn't good for him to see my that way. And it wasn't good for me.
