| Mike and I on a champagne cruise on Sunday :) |
The first time I remember being really excited about something was when I was like 5, and it was Easter. My dad and I were still going to church, and we had a tradition of going to Coffee & for breakfast right after. I was extra excited this day because I knew I was coming home to a basket filled with goodies. I had my regular french toast order, but started to feel really nauseaus half way through. I couldn't stop thinking about the Easter basket. My dad had to run a few errands, and I told him I didn't feel good. But, I was dramatic as a child, so he thought I was exaggerating. Go figure. After about 30 minutes of errands, we were finally on our way home. I remember counting in my head so that I could concentrate and not get sick in the car. When we got home, I RAN inside, and got sick. But, soon after, I got my easter basket, replete with chocolate goodness (always good right after tossing your cookies), and a Barbie ice cream maker! I felt fine afterward, but the anticipation was what got me all worked up. And it's been the same for 22 years now.
Why am I blogging about getting sick as a five year old? Well, because we are at the under 60 day mark, and I must be excited because I have not felt good for the last 3 days... My mom's bridal shower is this weekend, and I know I am really looking forward to it. As I have mentioned before, I am so excited to see all of my mom's friends, and my friend's moms. It's going to be a really fun day, PLUS she got cupcakes for the occasion! Truly - nothing could be better.
BUT, I don't feel good. At all. I am having to teach, but have severe heartburn, acid tummy, and a loss of appetite. I had to force myself to go to the gym last night thinking it would make me feel better. Nope. I didn't run or anything, just weights, but I was doubled over between sets. Can you imagine what I will feel like the day of and before the actual wedding? YIKES - is all I can say.
Is it normal? Nope. Do I want to be at work with 120 15-17 year olds? Absolutely not! But, I am really excited about the next 59 days, and after that, the rest of my life!
whenever that happens, make sure to take DEEP breaths through your nose. as a sufferer of nervous stomach (though different than your's for sure), i know that when you get nervous it tightens your intestines and does all sorts of bad things to your insides. when you get more oxygen flowing (ie: by breathing), it starts to relax and calm the organs. it might not do much for the nausea, but it can certainly help some of the pain and acid. hope you feel better!
