Yesterday was tough. I worked four days with one day off and then four days with one off which was yesterday. The original plan was that I would be off until we return from the beach. But last minute my boss at BHU asked me to cover two shifts today and tomorrow and then a co-worker at St Al's asked that I cover the last half of her shift tonight.
Last night after going to the park I ended up with a migraine. I rarely get them but they are usually trigger with dehydration. Which I am pretty sure is what happened yesterday. Being overworked and overtired and having some stresses with school starting I wasn't drinking enough. And my body crashed and burned. Throwing up and not being able to keep meds down was awful. Up until two in the morning unable to sleep because of the pain.
Today I got up and went to work. Lee would have prefered I stayed home but not sure that would have been any better. Tonight I am up too late waiting for the washer because I got off work at 11 and then went to the grocery store to get something for Victoria for camp tomorrow. I am feeling better. But still weak and I know I need a good night sleep.
But here is the thing I am feeling overwhelmingly thankful. Thankful for youth leaders who are up at almost midnight at the store looking for a specific thing for a girl for camp after spending the evening loading the trailer. I am thankful for friends who see good in my kids and celebrate their successes. Thankful for kids that are pretty amazing. Thankful for a husband who picks up the slack and enjoys playing with the kids. Tonight I am so thankful for those extra shifts. Those extra shifts mean that we are going we are going to be able to pay off our last credit card in August.
