Over Jetlag Now It's Lambs????

Wow that was some time away.

No it hasn't taken me a month to get over the holiday, I managed to recover quite quickly and the jetlag was only a problem for a week or two, but hey I'm used to fighting the sleep pattern my body wants to use.

You see with ME/CFS/PVFS your body seems to want to stay awake all night then you just sleep all day, or into the afternoon at least. However with hubby and the kids it meant that I was unable to give into this pattern and so fought to get up each day and stay awake so that I could sleep at night. The good news was this all made jetlag seem like a walk in the park.

There have been other factors that have made me question just this illness and how well am I?

You see we have invested in a couple of lambs, you know the baby type that need to be bottle feed four times a day for the first couple of weeks, now down to three times a day.
Thankfully they are staying at a friend’s house with eight other lambs so when it comes to feed time it is ten lambs at one sitting.

This does allow for us to not have to attend each feed but to just take our turn in the rota.

Last week it was the 10:30pm feeds, then this week the 2:30pm feeds, with the now 8:30pm feed tonight and on Sunday. I'm so glad we are down to three feeds a day now....

So with all this I never seem to be at home and when I am I'm sleeping to recover a bit.

Things will get easier I hope, or I may just wear out!!!
