jess needs

Dear jess,

Why do you hate me so? So little sleep. Cap'n Crunch for lunch? The beer, the wine. The coffee, my god the coffee. Ever heard of water?

I am giving you a warning. Cold, cold sore, cough, dry skin and acne. Let this be a lesson.

Your body.

Dear body,

I don't hate you. I'm even happy with you. I just hate myself.

No.

I hate my life.

No.

I am having a bad week and i am taking it out on you. I will try and do better.

Yours truly,

jess

** Taking a little break. **

Parker is fine. Toothless, but fine. It was much, much worse for me than him.

See you in a few days.

why oh why is everyone who brings me solace, humor and emotional companionship taking a break?
Maybe its me.
Ha.
Hope you get the rest you need.

I am blog surfing to find mothers to contribute to a new e-magazine that I am developing called Mother to Mother. Go to http://www.motheroftwosguide.com/contribute.shtml for details. We are always looking for new articles, photos, product testers, etc.

I like your blog's title - I have not fully learned how to swim yet and I am still drowning in kids as well!

if I didn't know better, I'd say our bodies have the same communication issues..
it never amazes me that I treat my own self this way, but wouldn't do that to my kids, and would 'get after' a friend for not taking better care of herself.
but that doesn't mean I'm ready to let go of my coffee mug yet..

Have a good break. Will miss you while you're gone, but totally understand that it's important to take time for yourself.

Don't be too hard on yourself, you are doing the best you can. Try to drink a little more water and get some good sleep!

I'm glad to hear about Parker.

I was speaking to God just now and He told me to tell you that coffee is ok.

coffee is, in fact, ambrosia of the gods. you know, in moderation.

I'm glad he's doing okay. It sounds like you need some serious recovery time. Give your body and your mind what it needs and feel better soon, please.
