Slightly Off

I'm feeling off today. Last night I fell asleep putting the Pumpkin to bed because she was taking forever, and this morning the Pookie woke for the day at 5:50. And everything since has been slightly off.

When I was cleaning my pumping equipment this morning (instead of the night before like I usually do), I got some soap in my eye. I took out my contact and cleaned my eye and the contact, but it's still stinging a bit and making things look literally a bit foggy.

I had to shower this morning instead of the night before, which was a first for me alone with two kids completely awake. I put the Pookie in his crib with toys and the Pumpkin in front of a TV show with a toy. I clocked my shower at 7 minutes, not bad. But the Pookie was fussing/crying when I got out because he was bored or wondered where I was or something. The time getting into, taking and getting out of the shower set my whole morning schedule back.

I brewed coffee, but didn't seem to have time to make my cup and then forgot to fix it to go with me. I am miserable without my coffee. I had a cup when I finally got to work, but it's not the same.

I forgot the Pumpkin's shoes for school, and she was very upset that she had to wear her snow boots instead of changing into the running shoes. That is a big change to her routine, and those types of big changes are still hard for her.

I needed to finish some work last night, but I obviously didn't because when Londo did wake me up from falling asleep in the Pumpkin's room, I was out of it and went right to sleep. So now I feel behind on what I need to get done at work today.

The post I wanted to write today/last night just isn't happening. This is all I can manage with my foggy brain and twitching eye.

At least I remembered my lunch today. I just need to find time to eat it before some marathon meetings this afternoon.

It's just one of those days...

Hate those kind of days! Isn't it funny how there are some things, no matter how small, that we just need to feel right side up? Hope you found time to eat your lunch and breathe a bit. Sorry Pumpkin didn't get her shoes. That's the sort of thing that would push Tate over the edge, too. Me, too, probably if I were in the habit of changing shoes at school or work. Hope tonight is better for all of you.

Seems like everyone I talk to was a little off today. I don't know if it's the weather or the stars or the end of winter doldrums, but you're not alone.
