I can't tell you how many times I've done that (and how many mornings after that I have gone for a 5 mile run!!)</p> <p>If it's what you have to do to get through, don't worry about it. Hoping this passes soon for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-an-intervention#post-876170 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 08:59:36 +0000 Dandelion 876170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go in shut down mode during these kind of times, too. Don't worry. Your motivation will come back. You need an emotional break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-an-intervention#post-876156 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 08:44:58 +0000 tinyperson 876156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree - go with what works...and ice cream usually works :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-an-intervention#post-875874 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 03:51:29 +0000 Smurfette 875874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto everything @aprk: said. But get some sleep!!! Then you and her can start to feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-an-intervention#post-875867 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 02:12:54 +0000 LaineysMom 875867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're a warrior! Sheesh that sounds rough.. I agree with the others that you should cut yourself slack and enjoy that ice cream. Everything else can wait til tomorrow! Btw, you made me crave ice cream.. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-an-intervention#post-875865 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 02:06:49 +0000 runsyellowlites 875865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>^ I totally agree!!! Sometimes it's about surviving &amp; when bebe or anyone in the house is/was sick that's one of those times! At this point it sounds like you eating anything is better than nothing &amp; if house hunters gives your brain some "mush" time to decompress &amp; regroup then I say go for it!</p> <p>The only thing I will say is GO TO SLEEP! Vi is resting &amp; you have an overfilled plate, you need to rest every bit while you can. ;) you're doing great, don't be so hard on yourself. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-an-intervention#post-875863 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 02:03:06 +0000 aprk 875863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds like a tough run! I'm glad you're feeling better, though. Hope Vi is too!</p> <p>Honestly, give yourself some leeway. At this point you are surviving so if ice cream and house hunters is working for you at this moment go with it. I might recommend a decent meal for breakfast, though ;) Get some protein and make sure you stay hydrated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-an-intervention#post-875861 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 01:58:37 +0000 Arden 875861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had a bad week.<br /> I've been sick forever (like two full weeks), my grandparents were sick and my grandpa was in the hospital for several days (so stressful!), my parents are in Canada for my sister's grad (which I'm missing) so they can't help me, my DH has been working 12 hour days and can't get off work, and Vi got sick day before yesterday.</p> <p>Her being sick for the first time was so stressful. When she got a fever, I was so scared that I burst into tears. She's doing better now, but it seems like she's regressed in every possible way. </p> <p>She doesn't sleep (she was a champion sleeper until now) unless she's in my arms and I'm walking. I paced the house with her in the sling until 5am yesterday. It's 2:54am now and I just got her down 20 minutes ago. Her latch (which has always been perfect) is all screwy. It's like she forgot how to nurse. </p> <p>I'm super behind on everything. So stressed.</p> <p>So now that I finally have a moment and an appetite what do I do? Eat some nourishing soup and catch up on work? No.</p> <p>How about gobble up a whole freaking pint of malted milk ice cream, followed by a bowl of strawberry cheesecake ice cream, while watching House Hunters. I need help. I've lost all self control and judgement. Someone save me. </p>
