Dec 2014

and in all honestly, my fatigue really ruined my life. it made me an exhausted, crabby mom, and not the world's cheeriest wife, either.
maybe if i had known what was going on earlier, we all could have adjusted better.
but it's hard not to agree with those around you that you are lazy when you sleep half the day and your house is a mess, and you dont know why.

pushing through those walls just makes them fall on you. if i could have just taken better care of myself, and not ended up worse off ALL.THE.TIME maybe my family would still be intact. who knows.

so hard to be a good partner when you are sick.
