There are days when...and this is one of those days.
I imagine most full-time, 24/7 caregivers know what it feels like to "lose the pedals" a bit while caring for someone..."Lose the pedals" is the apt French expression, "lose one's bearings" is the American equivalent. Both of them describe more or less the same thing, but the nuance is slightly different. "Lose the pedals" implies that one still knows how to chart the right course, but is not able to move forward very effectively; "lose one's bearings" implies that one has completely fallen off-course.
Today, frankly, I feel like I've lost my bearings and the pedals at the same time.
And now the baby's up from his nap.
