New Year's Aches and Pains
January 8th, 2012
It's been some time since I have actually written anything. I think this morning I realized the reason why. I am overwhelmed. And I am sure I can vouch for everyone on that matter.
The new year has begun, yet for me, the constant on the go has yet to stop. Personally as it being Sunday, I would love to stay in bed all day, comfy and cozy, squished between my huge comforter and an abundance of pillows. But that will never happen, I am too much of a busy body. The guilt would overcome me in a matter of minutes as I lay there thinking about what needs to be done. So here I am.
My morning started up slow and full of aches. I rolled out of bed a bit slower than usual as I felt dull pains in my back and legs. I asked "What the heck is wrong with me?" as I whispered to myself that I must be getting older.
After reading this morning's paper, I decided to do some stretches and loosen myself up. I will admit, I have not stretched out or hit the treadmill since before the holidays. Maybe that's my problem.
Well, I couldn't even touch my toes. My back pained as my leg muscles cramped. I held tight for as long as I could, then decided enough was enough. I then headed out to the coop to let the chickens and the turkeys out. Even the walk there and back was slow and uneasy. In my head I again asked myself what is going on? Is this was 43 is supposed to feel like? Am I really starting to age and the aches and pains have just begun to set in? I can't agree with that, my mind feels like I am in my 20's yet my body seems to be telling me something very different.
And tired? Why am I so tired? Have the holidays gotten the best of me? Going from Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years? Adding all the mix of the kids, decorating, shopping, camping, and family gatherings? Yep, I think that will cause anyone to want to stay in bed all day.
So with this written, I have become tired once more. I think I will go back to bed, cozy up with my hubby and take a nap.
Sweet dreams!
