Would just like to share with you that i am having a good day apart from being at a funeral this morning!
My aches and pains have subsided, so it just goes to show that rest works and staying away from the Nintendo Wii :P :lol:
I could have slept on this morning, mind you! :zzz:
It's days like this when i feel i could be at work and i feel guilty :grrr: and sometimes when i feel good i do lots of housework but not today, i want to be fit for tomorrow. :diva:
I am going away tomorrow, overnite with the girls (all nurses :nurse so may not be feeling great after that but there's one sure thing, i won't have a hangover :ale:
Yes, resting up sure does work and really is the only answer, but it's so boooring We all have so much we want to do and can't damn well do it. :wah: )
But, as I am always saying - we just plod on.
And please don't feel guilty about not working. I had to pop into my office yesterday to see a colleague and after an hour of phones ringing, residents popping in and out wanting things (how dare they!) and 101 other things going on I soon realised that there was no way I could do my old job - my brain was totally frazzled and I felt really poorly - still do.
Just about managed to drive home. So that says it all really ..........
Thanks for the support and encouragement I am going to have fun and take the consequences
Dale - i know that one day back at work and i would be back to square one.
Katie - thats a shame you were poorly yesterday but at least you have accepted that you can't work, although it's a :bleep:
:steam: HELP!!!!!! The school hols started today and i have my own 2 kids and another 2 in the house (raining as usual) I can feel my stress levels rising and my shoulders getting sore. :x They are wrecking the joint :evil:
So much for my rest, we have another 7 weeks to go :wah:
I used to look forward to school hols as i work term time but all that rest i have been catching up on will be gone :sadface:
My sympathies really do go out to you guys with children - it really does make our condition so much more difficult to cope with.
My daughter was only four when I had ME for the first time and as she was an only child she nearly always had a friend or two round to play.
I became known as the 'cross' mummy I discovered later, and as my daughter grew older I then became the mummy all her friends found 'scary'. :shock:
So guys, I know it's really, really hard at times but try to keep your patience and good humour with your children even if they are driving you round the proverbial bend! I obviously failed miserably as a mum during those years and I still feel really guilty about it now. It was mainly the noise I just couldn't cope with ........
ME is hard enough to cope with on your own without having to consider others as well ....... :cry:
Hi Teedie You break up early in Scotland dont you? Mine doesnt break up until 18th July and I have 2 weeks booked off with her. How old are your youngest? My daughter is 13 so she is pretty much self sufficient. It is easier when she has friends round as she has a converted attic that they can retire too. :lol:
MSN and DVDs are great, or she will go out to Hollingworth Lake which is a local beauty spot where it takes an hour to walk round. I give her money for an ice cream and her and her mates are gone for ages :ok: (It is a safe area, I am not that desparate for a rest that I would put her in danger!! :? )
Katie I am sure you were not a failure as a mum, children adapt and love you anyway. You are looking back with guilt glasses on! Try some rose tinted ones and give yourself a break :cheerup: Your sense of humour prevails on here and I'm sure it did when your daughter was young. And as has been said before, here endeth the lesson :nahnah:
Tell me, what is a goo weekend? it sounds fun :lol: My boys used to love messing about with goo, it was a sort of greeny slimy plasticine that stuck to the walls when you threw it. :shock:
I wish I was back in Basingstoke, but I am so glad to be with you lot again.
Back from my travels, feeling a little sore but nothing major but tomorrow may be worse, who knows. :evil:
I had a nice time and a good chance to chill out, I had about 5 drinks throughout the day and felt quite normal :D but had problems sleeping so i'm rather tired. :zzz:
Katie - hears hoping i am able to take a few drinks again! :bubbly:
Alicia, Dale meant "good" weekend but that "goo" was good fun too! :wink:
I'm glad you had a nice break Alicia
Dale, my children are 18, 9 and 6, :roll: so still have to entertain the wee ones. Yes, we finish early in Scotland and go back to school middle of August.
13 is not a bad age but wait another couple of years and she'll be wanting to go further afield and the attitude will start, :x Good luck
Hi there everyone - cripes, these postings sure are coming fast and furious! What an eloquent lot we are :lol:
Teedie - at last I have a drinking partner :bubbly: - a girl after my own heart :cheers: I'm so pleased you had a great time and are not suffering too much.
You wait till I tell my ME group tomorrow that CERTAIN sufferers CAN tolerate alcohol - so there!! :evil: (Won't mention any names though - promise!)
Yes Katie, they will probably say i don't have M.E either :? My secret was pacing my drinks :bubbly: - see pacing does work :lol: That was in the space of 10 hrs 8)
Don't think i could go out and get completely legless :cry:
I've been on here all morning, every time i go to fold my washing another post comes in :lol:
and staying away from the Nintendo Wii :P :lol:
