Hi Di & Everyone
Funerals are really sad but it is good to go and say goodbye to a loved one! I don't think you will get your teenage children to fully understand :cry: It is so hard for them to see what is going on with us on the inside. :cry: While we can get around and still do half normal things they think we are ok :lol: Not to say they don't care and love us but even after reading information about it still seems to go over their head.
If we are laid up in bed for a week with something they can see is going on think they would do more to help lol!
It was good you went out with your daughter and had a good night :lol: That would mean a lot to her and for you as well! We all feel really awful with this Fibro! I feel like a zombie this morning as didnt have very good sleep. Don't seem to really wake up until about dinner time :cry: Don't be too hard on yourself and try and remain positive! A positive attitude does help and I know it is really difficult at times and we are allowed our bad days! Just try and focus on your good ones and not the bad ones.!
Sorry about the lecture! I will also try and take my own advice lol. :lol:
Still try and get what you want out of life! If there are some things you can't do then try and think of some new ones you would like to do!
All we can do is take one day at a time! :lol:
Hi Di, Ses & everyone
Sorry Di to put the lecture lol! Was from me Tess x x
Hi Ses I think I will have the flu injection again this year as got on ok with it last year. Everyone reacts differently to things don't we :roll: Hope you are not in too much pain this morning. I had another bad night sleep and feel like a zombie today!
Need to get a shower and that will help wake me up! Weather not too bad here at the moment. No dread rain yet! :cry:
Well hope everyone has a good day!
Love Tess x x
Hello Di
My children are beyond teenage now and 2 out of the 3 don't live with us any more. However it is still hard for children, whether teenage or young adult, to see their mother as anything but there and available. Mum is the answer to everything and the solver of all problems. Mum is their signpost through life and the guiding hand at all the crossroads.
When something happens to threaten the availability and completeness of mum they panic because teenagers are, essentially selfish, it's in their job description. they mature and learn to be considerate of others as they develop under our guidance.
Don't be too hard on them, don't expect too much of them and, above all, keep communicating with them. they will come right if you work as a team.
Here endeth the sermon - good luck.
