Carrie12345 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 December was an awful month in our house. It started with finding out I was pregnant- something we did NOT want to happen. Just as we began to wrap our heads around that, I was miscarrying. A week later, my hcg was still rising, and we discovered a tubal pregnancy. I had a shot of chemo to avoid surgery. After that, we had a nice week of holiday events, thank goodness. Then I wound up in emergency rooms on the 28th and 30th before finding out I had ruptured and being rushed in for emergency surgery. I've had a miserable recovery, and my kids were shipped to my in-laws, 2 hours away. The oldest came home last weekend, and the littles were gone for 10 days. Now I'm feeling better and all of my kids came home last night, but the baby wants nothing to do with me. The baby is miserable with croup, and one dd has an awful cold. I know oldest ds has been totally slacking on all of his independent work, and the girls haven't even been reading much. I'm so desperate to get back on track (with school, with housework, with food shopping, with *everything!), but it feels nearly impossible! I'm just a big, overwhelmed, cranky, depressed, whiney lump right now. And I'm really hoping that writing all of that out might help me release some negative energy!

Laura Corin Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Be good to yourself - get enough rest and get back into your routines slowly, starting with the ones that will help you to feel more in control. For me, that's laundry - just choose the one that means the most to you. You can always do some school in the summer, if necessary. Best wishes Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thank you for listening! The little one finally gave me a hug this morning, I got some laundry going and the floor swept, and everyone brushed their teeth without complaining or bickering. That, along with venting, has given me a decent boost!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
