Just Because

Lately I haven’t had the energy to do anything with myself. My husband was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis as of 2 weeks ago. So he’s been in quite a bit of pain. Even his pain killers weren’t killing the pain he was in. His pain has eased up now, but for the last two weeks it’s been sleepless nights. I was up from 6:45 a.m to 6:00 a.m everyday for two weeks. And our 2 year old gets up at 6:45 a.m sharp EVERY morning. So I was only getting 45 minutes of sleep every day. And because I had so little sleep for those two weeks, I had no energy at all. I had to drink loads of soda and coffee, just to stay awake during the days with our son. Because I was drinking so much sugars and caffeine I ended up in the emergency room a few days ago, with high blood pressure, sever migraines, and severe stomach aches. I started seeing things from my lack of sleep. I was having terrible nightmares. It was rough. But last night our son wanted to sleep with us. He woke up around 11:00 p.m crying and sweating. (I think he may have had a nightmare) So I brought him into bed with us. And he slept all night cuddled up with my husband and I. And it was the first night in a long time that I felt comfortable and peaceful. We all slept a good 9 hours last night. I was so well rested that I actually was able to get through today without soda or coffee!! And I was so well rested I decided to do my makeup and put on something other than pajamas!! I just wanted to share my happiness today with others. ❤️
