Extreme Fatigue

I have been feeling extremely tired for the past few months. I haven't had a housekeeper since beginning of September so more then two months and a half. This happened to me before about two years ago. My old housekeeper left and It took a long time for the replacement to come. I remember how hard it was for me then as well. I wake up everyday with pain in the soles of my feet and heels. I drag myself out of bed get the lunch boxes ready send off the kids to school and tidy the house as much as I can. I miss having more energy to do more things.

I think about energy a lot lately. I want to do so much to increase it. I am trying to eat well, but it's hard to enjoy eating when you are always doing things in the house for the kids and homework and baths and reading. Kids are also hard to handle when you are tired. I pray I will be a better mother. Have more patience. But it's so hard when you are facing physical challenges and no one really understands what you are going through. My comfort is that God does. He knows exactly how I am feeling, therefore I leave it to you God.

I have so many things I want to accomplish but so little energy. I will probably be getting a new housekeeper at the beginning of 2012. I pray she will be good and that 2012 will be my best year yet! As I sit here on the computer I feel every joint and muscle in my body ache. I know this feeling will not last and that maybe in the next hour or so I will feel better. It's like that for me. I go through different energy levels throughout the day. One hour I feel useless with absolutely no energy and the next I feel a bit better. I know this is all because I don't get enough sleep and rest. I don’t need more than 8 hours of sleep a night, but what I do need is non interrupted sleep. My daughter God bless her usually wakes me up once in the night.

Last night I worked until 10:30 on my business even though i really shouldn’t' have. I keep telling myself I wont work on anything after 8 to give my mind peace and rest before I sleep, but there is so much work to be done and I really want our business to be a success. I want to have a steady income from my own business. In today’s turbulent market I feel this is what will secure my future. With the will of God, all my fatigue and daily physically challenges will all pay off.
