It’s not working

It’s not working

Remember that new alarm clock we got a few months back?  Yeah, well, it ain’t workin’.  I mean, it wakes us up and everything, but we still slap the snooze.

And it’s all the way over on the other side of the room.

So this means that we now have a system.  Joey slaps first snooze, I slap second snooze, and sometimes Joey slaps third snooze again before we actually get up.  Sigh.

I can’t recall being as bone-tired before as I have been lately.  It’s so annoying; no matter when I go to bed at night, I feel like I’m performing a gold-medal-worthy feat just dragging myself out of bed by 6:45 and barely squeaking by with enough time to dry my hair in the mornings.  Maybe it’s leftover exhaustion vestiges from IVF.  I have no idea.  But I wish I could figure it out.

All this to say: the new alarm clock is not changing our lives like I had hoped.

But I feel like I’ve got to do something to get my energy back, but I have no idea what it might be.  Any suggestions?  Electric shock nodes implanted into my eyeballs?

Must…drink…coffee…

Except this morning I made decaf.  Because I felt sorry for it because it was almost used up, but not quite, and sitting on the counter all lonesome.

Joey just came shuffling by me mumbling, “I’m so tired every morning.  But….it takes me like an hour to fall asleep every night.”

And I was all, “It’s because you forgot to plug your Awesome in.”

I’m really not sure what that means.

Joey is my best friend. We welcomed our miracle baby, Analie Alexa on November 23, 2010. She was 7 lbs of cuteness and we are so thankful for her. We lost our first baby (who we symbolically named Samuel) the summer of 2009. I love being a Christian, even when it's hard. I've tried IVF. Twice. It worked. Once. That's how we got Analie. I'm always willing to talk about infertility. Diagnosis: Stage 4 Endometriosis (plus a few other bonus things) I'm live in Indiana. I enjoy reading and going for walks in the evening. I get my news from NPR. Someday I want to be a guest on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. I love backpacking, hiking, canoeing and survival camping. I'm a big fan of weekends. My bike's name is Thunder. I'm a youth pastor's wife. I dig cows. I don't handle stress well. I'm not good at fishing; I talk too much. Cooking and baking are my favorite. I love hanging out with my girlfriends! I'm a budding environmentalista. I love me my Joey. Texas is where we "came of age". I enjoy seeing animals and want my very own Alpaca. And Koala. And Panda. Conservation is beautiful. I'm a neat freak. I like all-natural, chemical-free, environmentally-friendly products. Green is my favorite color. Still.

  1. Mmm I had that problem too! Then, at my dad’s insistence I took a multivitamin and a B-12 vitamin for a few weeks and voila! energy :)

    • Maybe I need to add a B-12 to my vitamin regimen! I’m looking tonight…

  2. Yes, I agree that would help. And gives yourselves a break! You have been and are going through some tough stuff! I understand.
