right now
honestly, right now i am more than a bit overwhelmed by all of the responsibilities before me. having our fourth little guy has added so much more: more smiles, more drool, more sleepless nights, more insecurity, more work, more work, more work. i used to be able to set household chores aside for some time to knit, read, or even just think but now find myself so incredibly far behind in absolutely everything. what makes all of this so much worse is that my two older guys seem to be very aware of my shortcomings and share them with me often.
i am also trying to stay on track with an elimination diet that i have been on for two weeks. not being able to turn to food as a reward or for comfort has been rough. i was hoping that taking so many possible allergens out of my diet would boost my energy, eliminate some of the body pain, clear the brain fog, ease the depression, help with sleep, and force me to deal with some of the issues that cause me to run to food. this really feels like a lot, and i often think that i am not up to the challenge. i have done really well over the last couple of weeks and am hoping that some of the changes that i am making now will be lasting.
