Mom2legomaniacs Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Tiny whine. Hormones involved. I am having a moment. (it will go away and is not huge or life altering) But I need to spit it out and move on. I was not planning on starting school this week, but sort of fell into it yesterday. The guys were out of town over the weekend and are very tired. I am very tired and crampy (sorry TMI). I thought I would get going with some little projects to ease back in to things. I get excited about them, and the feeling is not reciprocated. It makes me feel sad for a bit, you know. My little bubble has been burst. So I set them free for the moment so I can get over myself and have the pity party to move on. A little hug and an "oh that sucks" is fine. I don't need to fix it. I just need sympathy. (can you tell that's what I would be saying to DH;)). Okay, done. thanks for listening! Quote
Remudamom Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Ha! Do I get to be the first one to tell you to get off your butler and find something fun for you to do?? Go get another fun project, set it up on the kitchen table, and when the boys want to help, lean over it, cover it up with your arms, and tell them to buzz off. Quote

percytruffle Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 (((Melissa))) Put your feet up and read a book. Ask for a back massage. Have a nice cup of home made iced tea. Pamper yourself dear, you deserve it. Your condition is temporary but very real. You can't just imagine it away or will it away, and you shouldn't have to. :grouphug: Quote
Mandy in TN Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Yep, bummer. I hate it when that happens. You get a bunch of cool stuff out for children and they act put upon, or uninterested, or ask why are we doing this? arghh! It happens sometimes. Try again next week? Sorry- Mandy Quote

Maybe your approach was wrong. Basically you were saying, "The choices are summer vacation or these fun projects I planned for you." What you *should* have said is, "We are starting school today. Would you prefer to do these math and grammar lessons or these fun projects I have planned?" ;) Maybe then the projects would have gone over better. Quote
Tammyla Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 :grouphug: Here's a big hug and lots of sympathy. My ds is well...not into projects either. He wants to know exactly what he must do and that's it. I gave up trying to plan it. Every now and then he has one of those moments. I can see the sparkle in his eyes. It just usually isn't what makes my eyes shine. Hang in there. I'd send over brownies if I could. Tiny whine. Hormones involved. I am having a moment. (it will go away and is not huge or life altering) But I need to spit it out and move on.

Isn't it amazing how interested they become when told that it is not for them?! LOL Mandy Quote
Mom2legomaniacs Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 Yeah, my execution was lacking. Also, I know they are tired from the trip and need some down time. They will likely respond better with stronger leadership from me (when I am not a zombie;)). I hadn't planned on the math and grammar this week. I thought I would do the areas that they love the most. I still will, but maybe after lunch. Quote
Sahamamama Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 (((Melissa))) Put your feet up and read a book. Ask for a back massage. Have a nice cup of home made iced tea. Pamper yourself dear, you deserve it. Your condition is temporary but very real. You can't just imagine it away or will it away, and you shouldn't have to. :grouphug: I agree. :iagree: Pain is real. Take some Advil, if that helps you, take a hot bath (with bubbles), sip some herbal tea, and tell the boys that their two JOBS today are: 1. To get rested, because TOMORROW they ARE doing school. 2. To stay out of your way, because TODAY you are not feeling well. HTH. :grouphug: I would "move on," as you say, but I would move on into my own little happy world -- with a book of my own, thank you very much! Tomorrow, you will feel better, and the boys will, too. Quote

Mom2legomaniacs Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 This is what's good about menopause. You just gotta watch those hot flashes. I have a feeling that when that time comes, the rest of the house will be sleeping in their coats.:lol: Quote
