Jodi-FL Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 for 5 days" what does that mean to you? should I call and cancel my leadership meeting on Sat. morning (which means I'd have to miss the Monday night BSF class)? should I cancel my date with dh to see the local college baseball game? (even though he says he'll drop me off at the gate and it's not a long walk from there). should I stay home from church? and how do I keep peace in the home until then? I have 7 kids, 3 teenagers, who are a great help (when they're home), but they don't possess the patience of a parent yet with the littlest siblings.... and all those house projects for the beautiful weather this weekend....weeding, painting, building a fence.... what do you do when you stay off your feet? it's been soooo long.....

JFSinIL Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 it means STAY HOME and put your feet UP. Alas - errands and warm-weather chores must take a backseat. Kids can bring you drinks and nestle with your to read together on the couch, you can pop in a video - just keep off your feet! Teens and hubby may need to readjust their schedules to help with younger kids for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 It depends on what the problem is...is it a foot problem, or is it another body part? If foot, then I would probably go to the woman's meeting and pull up a chair for my foot. And skip the rest of the stuff. If it's other issues, then I would probably rest and recline and enjoy the beautiful weather while working on my tan and SUPERVISING the yard work :D Your kids are plenty old enough to take care of themselves and each other.
