Jean in Newcastle Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 11ish check in: Human care sort of done - I really should wash my hair but I'm not going to do it until later or maybe tomorrow. All the thousands of things I have to do for my health done - until lunch when I have more to do. Kitchen is sort of clean - I have handwashing to do and should really wipe down the counters but the dishwasher is running. Dd is at volunteering. Pet care is done. I tidied a bunch of papers in the living room. Ds cleaned his room. I haven't bothered to check and see if his definition of clean matches mine. Spent some time printing out a placement test. Spent some time researching a literature guide and putting a book on hold from the library. Discovered that my husband is the one who "stole" my car key without telling me about it so that I thought it was lost and was on my knees looking under everything. . . Took out the kitchen garbage. Reprogrammed the thermostat that was somehow going up to 75 degrees at 11 pm and other odd things like that. Found out that dd has been "fixing" the thermostat whenever she feels cold. I don't feel well. I haven't felt well since before Christmas and even that was rather fleeting. I'm not talking to anyone because I just don't feel like talking to anyone - or really because I'm afraid that if I do talk, that I won't be very nice to anyone. But because I'm not talking, dh has been following me around saying "Are you ok?" (I did briefly talk to him to put him out of his misery.) But now I'm back in my little quiet shell hoping that everyone will just leave me alone for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Jean--I'm so sorry you have been sick for so long! I pray you feel better and better each day. Thank you all so much for your prayers and thinking of me. The last week has been, by far, the hardest of my life. I never, ever could have imagined the deep pain and sorrow that I have felt. My mom means everything to me, so losing her is losing part of me. I know it will get easier, but I feel my life will never be quite the same again. All I can do is take one day at a time. Jean and Tammy--I have been eating low-carb, eating 20 or a little less at each meal and a lower carb afternoon snack. I've lost 6 pounds in a week. I made myself eat 4 times a day this past week because I didn't want to feel physically bad on top of the emotional upheaval. My mom told me that we girls should take care of ourselves. She said that even a 30 minute walk a day might have helped her so much. I'm going to try and prevent this (or at least delay it) to honor her. On to today: Breakfast son's basketball game lunch out with hubby (both kids off with friends for the afternoon) walk with hubby tidy house email book club about our make up meeting this coming week look back over plan for book club meeting pick up kids dinner (being brought by a church member) make a shopping list (I'm going to the Decatur World Market on Monday with my tea friends. That day is my birthday, and they canceled Spanish class declaring it to be a national holiday.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TammyinTN Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Amy, I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. :grouphug: I do agree with your Mom...she was wise, and we as women, who take care of everyone, must also take care of ourselves. It's hard to devote time for just us, but we have to. We can't take good care of our families without taking care of ourselves. I'm seeing this more and more and preaching it to my girls who are young mothers. You did great and losing 6 pounds last week with everything that you had going was a good job!! I right along with you...I'm going to try to exercise everyday and walking is awesome! Hang in there! :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hi Ladies, It's a relaxing Saturday here. Slept in a little. Had a nice cuppa joe and then made breakfast and took 4 kids with me to Walmart. Somehow it's less chaotic, even with only one less child. This afternoon: - clean up kitchen - work on Children,s Church curriculum -work on budget stuff - fold laundry -watch Olympics (which I may do while I'm folding laundry) Jean, hope you feel better. Glad you got a good night's sleep last night! Amy, good to see your post. Take care of yourself during this time of grieving. We're continuing to pray for your family.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Slept most of the morning. I just could not stay awake. Doesn't this stupid body know that I have a to-do list?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Went through files and have sorted a bunch of stuff. Of course, I can't find the one piece of paper that I really need. . . This is a tough day. My throat feels all swollen again. I have to go to the store and then I think I'm going to crash again.
