@Lars759 It's definitely more important than an immaculate home! The bebe has been squished 🫡

@witlegit What task would you do *instead* of feeding a bébé? You're doing the objectively best thing. Try to breathe. And squish the bébé

Reminding myself that nursing a baby is in fact getting something done as I walk around my house in dismay

@MrsSamGribley Haha He and I both knew what you meant 😏 (insert rant about Jehovah's Witnesses here)

@witlegit That’s sweet, thank you!! Also, LORD* 🤦🏼‍♀️😆

Lately my body has been like "hey I got this great new idea, how about we wake up 6 hours after falling asleep and then you just kind of lay there for a couple of hours in a weird half awake state feeling anxious about everything?"

@Zahraliebt Exactly

@witlegit The thing I love about that is that he acknowledges that we have good reason to be afraid. The point is that we can/should trust him in the middle of it.

I just completed three tasks I have been avoiding, and I can't wait to find out how I'll still feel anxious about them in the middle of the night

@prettywiseass Thanks 🙏 I'll pray for you when I wake up at 5am

@witlegit Oh yeah, that's the worst I pray that you get some good solid sleep tonight

@prettywiseass Both solid contenders. The hardest part is that the anxiety is compounded by the lack of sleep

@witlegit You didn't complete them correct enough or maybe (my favorite) you should have done other tasks instead (I hope neither one of these plague you)

@milkandmarrow Oooooo do let me know how it turns out

@witlegit Ive been craving this lamb tot hotdish I had at ice house when I first moved here. I need to make it.

I just realized that my children are missing out on the very important Midwestern tradition of eating lots of casseroles/hot dishes

Also, I use casserole and hot dish interchangeably

I need to find some hot dishes that everyone will like

@Ninjafferson I would mute and move on

@BooksTiffany And if a family is able to do this, I'm very happy for them! But to unilaterally decide that that's how all households should run was just a bummer

@witlegit 😂😂😂😭😭😭 Not one in touch with real life. 😂

What is the worst take you have seen on here about womanhood?

@BooksTiffany Oh that's very interesting! Unfortunately the person who suggested this is very much an American

😂😭 Must be nice. Actually, that sounds a lot like an overseas thing. We looked briefly at a mission opportunity once and I was doing research into the culture. I was shocked to discover hiring locals to do housework and cooking was very much expected. The economy relied heavily on it and people (Americans) who didn't were looked down on for not providing jobs. It was very interesting.

@CheerfulReader Way too easy to forget

@witlegit Glad you posted this because it's so easy to forget!

@prettywiseass Haha if only!

@witlegit Eye problems?

Guhh I can see both sides and it's torture

@MrsSamGribley That's a good point. Thank you for praying! I will pray for your sleep when I wake up in the middle of the night. And yes, amen! He gives so much grace

@witlegit Ugh I’m praying you feel better soon! It’s hard to recover when you can’t sleep well. Just remembering that the time change REALLY screwed me this year. Maybe you’re adjusting also. Hopefully you’ll be back to normal soon! The Lird carries us through these hard days ❤️

@MrsSamGribley I appreciate your wanting to help! I haven't been eating as much during the day because I've been feeling ill. I'm sorry you've been sleeping poorly too!

Dang it! I wanted to solve all your problems for you! 😆 could just be a temporary increase in demand for energy from your body while producing more for baby. Could increase calories a bit during the day to see if it helps. But I’m no expert, I sleep terribly since my latest lol haven’t fixed my own problems!

@milkandmarrow Oh that's interesting. Thank you!

@witlegit This always happens to me around the spring/summer season change maybe the spring/winter one gets you. More sun will help

@MrsSamGribley Ah, unfortunately I already do! Baby is eating more recently though, yes.

@witlegit Try a bedtime snack that’s protein rich? A small amount of carbs with it? Your body could be having a blood sugar crash and the cortisol/adrenaline is waking you and making it hard to fall asleep. Is baby eating more recently?
