What a beautiful theme Adeline has choosen! Love rainbows too, they are so overwhelming. So sorry to hear about your health Annie….please take your rest when you need it, and no sorry for you to say (you’re not boring m with it) it’s just how you feel and I can imagine that you have a hard time, being a mommy 24 hours a day, missing your husband (and have to do things all by yourself) caring a sweet little girl in your tubby and even work, and then the POTS….I think you are a heroe dont know how you do this all!!! Respect! Hope that you can take some rest and time for yourself and hope Adeline has a wonderful rainbow pool party, she is so cute!

Hugs Jolanda

Well girl, here I sit with tears in my eyes! Why? Because you are such an honest soul, not so filled with pride that you feel you must be “perfect” or close to it, to attract a readership. LOL! Not sure where that came from, but that SO many portray such a “perfect” image and then we are shocked when the truth finally emerges. You are Annie Murray Manning, who I see as a gut honest, insanely talented, completely loving, naturally nurturing, super selfless and beyond beautiful human being! My life is richer having met you.

In regard to your battle with POTS and what it does to your mind and body, I believe that your sharing what is going on with you will speak to another whether or not it is POTS that they are dealing with. Speaking of your frustrations, disappointments, GOOD days and ABSOLUTE adoration of the loves of your life helps all of us to know that it is okay and perfectly human to have ups and downs in whatever illness/illnesses we are dealing with.

The way that you are able to “balance” the many hats that you wear gives “me” hope that I, one day soon, will be able to do the same Ms. Annie. And I thank “you” for that. I think once Eliza June makes her debut, you will know just what to do. Follow your heart and as I every so often mention to my children, “be true to thine own self”.

Love and hugs … XX

Annie, I love to read your rambling…it’s real and this is refreshing.
We as mothers always feel like we cannot CATCH UP but trust me lack of sleep and pushing yourself too hard will definitely CATCH UP to you…I know for a fact.
It’s the hardest thing to admit that we need to slow down until our body shuts down and we have no choice, only then do we see that we need to value our body. It is our temple and if we treat it badly it will fall apart. We need to take care of our kids but before that we need to care for ourselves in order to be able to provide for them.
I could not sleep at one point and what helped me was to stay away from the computer at night and read, accupunture was my savior and yoga before bed was a ritual.

AND MOST OF ALL “QUIET YOUR MIND BY SITTING STILL AND JUST LISTENING TO YOUR THOUGHTS…in other words MEDITATE…only for a few minutes …it will help… you will see.

And lastly nutrition and vitamins.

SLEEP MY BELLA…SLEEP, your baby needs it and so do you.
