Just Because I'm Staring at the Screen
I want to pump but, I don't want to pump. Do you know what I mean? I won't be away from Little Man tomorrow because I'm taking him with me to my short practice and then we have the whole day together so I don't need to pump but, I should. I know if I don't pump I will regret it later so I will even though I totally don't feel like it and I just want to crawl into bed or stay here and stare at the screen until hubby comes home. But I will be kicking myself when I'm back at work struggling with the pump or freaking over my supply. I have been dragging my freestyle pump back and forth to practice this week just in case I decided to pump on my way home (haven't yet, to weird to set up in the parking lot of a high school). Today I thought I would have to stay late with the other coach to go through our equipment closet so I packed the bag but forgot the pump. (smack) The sound of my hand hitting my forehead for my egregious mistake and wondering how many times I might do this in the future when I really need it. How embarrassing will that be standing in front of a classroom full of teenagers with leaky spots on my shirt!? Oh well, I'll leave the weird going back to school nightmares for my actual dreams and get to pumping so I can sleep physically comfortable if not mentally comfortable.

I got caught with wet spots on my shirt once at a first aid class. I blogged about it quite awhile back. It was rather embarrassing but the guy (yes it was a guy!) who said something was really nice about it. I just put my name tag over my wet spot and help my arm over my breasts really tightly til the milk stopped leaking.
ReplyDeleteI have never pumped but I can imagine why some days you just wouldn't want to. I have so much respect for pumping moms.
