Jkm, just to show how little concentration/brain power I have this first week, I said I was on day 5 like you, nope - day 6. Can't wait for the brain fog to lift.

It's changed now though - it's great getting out of bed in the morning with a clear head and being there for them. Hang in there, you can do this. Xxx

My kids 5 and 3 having to fend for themselves for every morning for a week straight was my rock bottom. On that last day I woke up and said, "I can't do this to them anymore, they deserve their mother." Being able to jump out of bed at 7:30am to make them pancakes really filled my heart with joy this morning. It's those small things that keep happening that make me want to keep pushing forward.

I'm suffering through that too, BAD. I'm SO ready to have a clear mind and not feel like such a zombie. One day at a time. Congrats on 6 days!!
