De-Funking

This past week was a little rough for me.  I had a great day on Monday meeting the Mom's group.  But then the rest of the week kind of went downhill.  I slipped into a bad funk where I just sort of felt blah.  I think it's because Baby Girl had some difficulty sleeping a couple of nights which led to a couple of rough days.

But I discovered a magically obvious solution yesterday.  COFFEE.  I enjoy coffee, but have never been a daily drinker.  For me it's more of an occasional, when I feel like it kind of thing (nothing better than going to a coffee shop and enjoying a treat!).  I have tried to limit it a little because I'm breastfeeding, and because, in theory, I could nap when the baby napped.  Recently, Baby Girl has been boycotting naps though, which has led to me not getting this sleep.

Yesterday, my caffeine boost helped me push through the morning though.  I think since I was more active in the morning, it helped her get more tuckered out, and so she took a nap.  While she slept, I got to be super-mom and clean the bathrooms, wash the sheets, wash the diapers, vacuum, make dinner (I made it during the afternoon because I had a dentist appointment and wanted dinner waiting for me later), hemmed some curtains, and felt pretty kick-a$$ for getting it all done.  I even took her for a short walk to the mailbox down the street to mail out a package.  Then after my dentist appointment, I went shopping for some vegetable seeds so I can start growing some seedlings soon (Tomorrow's project!).  Last night, she was more tired than me even though all she did was watch, and she slept wonderfully, giving me some good sleep.  Today I finished vacuuming, mopping, installed some new hardware in the bathroom (which is now looking quite fabulous!), took Baby Girl for a long walk, and got the process started for finding new solutions for work.  Tonight, Baby Girl gave Mike and I a wonderful surprise... she got tired on her own around 8, allowing us to **gasp!** watch a movie together.

Long story short, I have been defunked.  And when I am defunked, I go to Pinterest to daydream about doing 10 million different projects around my house :-)
