Jenn Doing My Best

I was trying to be efficient this morning and cook today’s dinner (lasagna) at the same time I was cooking breakfast.

But once the oven finished preheating, I realized I had forgotten to buy crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce for the lasagna. 🤦🏽‍♀️

So I wasn’t able to cook dinner earlier like I had planned! 😑

Making a quick store run on a busy homeschool day isn’t always easy, but I had to make it work somehow. Lol

So I ended up stopping by Kroger after dropping off E (my oldest) at work.

Needless to say, the time change is kicking my butt!

I was actually looking forward to “springing ahead” (or do they say “spring the clocks forward”? I can’t remember 😆).

I’ve been struggling to get up at my usual wake up time.

When I wake up, I just feel so tired and end up going back to sleep for another hour. But the problem is when I finally do get up to start my day, I feel groggy like I took some benadryl or something.

I just feel like I’ve been in a brain fog since last week. I know Daylight Savings Time happened this past Sunday, March 9th, but I’ve been having a hard time focusing since last week.

I read that sometimes grief and other stressful situations can make you feel numb where you’re on autopilot but you have a hard time staying focused.

I don’t know. Maybe that’s it. I honestly forgot I was feeling grief. Maybe that’s also another “symptom” of grieving? 🤷🏽‍♀️

I told my husband I think I need a week to just sleep—take lots of naps—to reset. All I can do is my best.

💜XO
