Manic Monday

Normally, I call Monday my "Cinderella" day...it is the day that I do the laundry, mop the floors until one could see their reflection in them (even though they are matte, and porcelain), vacuum the carpets with synchronized lines (like Narci does), scrub the royal thrones...you know, "clean the palace".

Today, Manic Monday. I am feeling blue....all over.
You see, I started this cleanse about 3 weeks ago that is supposed to detox your body....and considering the fact that I have poisoned this fleshy contraption, with sugar, alcohol, alcohol that turns into sugar....you know, the story of life in one's 20's?, I have a lot to detox...
Anyhow, the first few weeks were great, as long as I drank a lot of water, I felt fine. Then, the symptoms started, drowsiness, headaches, mild pounding,
just enough to annoy me headaches. Then, the "not so loud" headaches started. Now, turn off the lights, don't make a sound, just wanna lay in bed, sucking my thumb, want my mama headaches.
I figured this must mean I am down to the layer of pure alcohol in my body. It feels a lot like my 20's, headaches the morning after....I thought this layer would be fun, since the alcohol is coming out of my body, I might get like the 90 proof party feeling....nope. It is coming out in a way that I cannot blog about.

I have a heightened sense of smell too, it is crazy. I was lying down on the couch and smelled a strong fragrant cinnamon. I could finally smell the candles that are a year old on my mantel. Most people would have to put their noses ON these candles to know they were even scented. Not to mention other scents that I won't mention. I can smell stuff a room away. Tim and the girls must think I am a loon....I say, "I smell sugar cookies"...they are like "WHAT?, I don't smell anything", then, they look at me like I am on crack.
I can't wait to get down to the layer of sugar that I consumed as a kid, I should have a lot of energy and be able to run around in circles for hours....maybe then,
I will be able to keep up with Lexie (my little energizer bunny).


Have a skippin', twirlin' good Monday!

  1. Are you sure you aren't pregnant? I had a great sense of smell then.

  3. Don't you love vacuum lines? :)

    Sounds like you are hurtin', but I bet the end result is going to be worth it!

    BTW, the first thing I thought was "Maybe she's pregnant" also. I'm just sayin. ;)

  4. Oh! That doesn't sound like a good way to spend a Monday. Hope you feel better!

    And BTW...sadly, I'm all about those lines in the carpet too. Too bad you gotta walk on them to put the vacuum up!
