energy, it's a funny thing

Every so often I get these surges.  Huge bursts of energy where I feel as if all of the sudden I have ADHD and my mind and body are running all over the place.  These bursts are very welcomed and I take full advantage to get all the "things" done.  They usually last for about 1-2 hours and then a big crash.  After some rest I will get another burst.  I feel as if I'm on crack, or meth.  Actually I'm not sure because I've never used either one of those.  But you get the point, my thoughts are all over the place because I am so excited for the amount of energy I have.  I usually get about 2 great days out of it and then... my battery becomes drained. It's ok though, I know there will be more good days in my future.  The only problem is trying so hard to contain myself so I don't start running on empty.  Once the battery starts running in the red zone, there's no coming back until it has sat on the charger for it's full charge. {we are talking about my body here}  When I start running in the red zone, everyone around me suffers.  Lots of messes are left undone and mama just can't keep up.  The kids have no idea why everything was hunky dory a few hours prior and now I can't keep my eyes open past 6:00 p.m.  Having these days full of energy is very promising.  It gives us so much hope that we can have so many more.  I have no idea why I get them or where they come from.  I am guessing some kind of hormonal fluctuation just because it sounds like a reasonable answer.  I'm pretty sure any medical doctor would agree with me.  If they don't, then I question their education.  Must not have been from WebMD.

So, with my extra energy I took this guy to the beach.  We go to the beach in February but only because June is usually way too cold.

My goal is to use my good days and fill them with fun.  It totally wiped me out going but was so worth it.  A very good friend of mine came with and while the kids played we chatted.  I loved every minute of it.
