I am burning out and am literally counting the hours till my Xmas and New Year break.
I had surgery in October and since then I just haven't been 100%. Its not because anything went wrong with my surgery, but it's just my recovery and overall well being afterwards.
I am now anemic with an iron count of 7 so I constantly look like crap, constant black circles around eyes and even daycare parents have commented now. I have fallen 3 times in the last 2 weeks busting up my elbow, knee, broke my big toe on Monday and fell this morning and hurt my shin.
I was sick last week with the flu and that has also amplified my fatigue. I am better now but don't look it one bit.
Add to that a side order of PMS and my current battle with PTSD and I am positively depressed.
My daycare group is very young and so crafting this Xmas is pretty much non exsistant. I drew around their hands and feet yesterday to make reindeer and they all had an absolute meltdown. OMG just so not worth it. This doesn't help my day as this is usually a really busy time crafting and doing lots of fun seasonal stuff which non of them partake in AT ALL!! It's just a succession of gormless expressions lol
The kids are playing happily together and that's fine by me but I miss having the activities to lift my mood. TOmorrow is my last day for 17 days and boy do I need that time off. My husband is off for a week and has pretty much ordered me to lay up for the week and do nothing, but I want to get active and get over this hump.
Mornings in pj's, afternoon walks in the crisp winter air, board games with the kids and healthy wholesome food. That's what I need right now :)
