Terrific Tuesday Roll Call

Good Morning All,
Its been a tuff Monday and overnight...my step dad is on hospice has really declined, and we spent a lot time there last night with two little ones (not easy).  Keep them out of the room and not be frightened by all the equipment and happenings.  Got like hardly any sleep- and am here for another great day at work (thankful I have a good job so I shouldn't complain)...just would rather be with my 'dad'.  All the stress makes me want to throw in the towel and just give up my better habits and eat to cope...but logically I know it won't help.  Plan on going to the gym to swim today- went yesterday...so I am keeping up....just very frustrated.  Still on the why does this happen...well- reality tells me cancer (and other tragic things) happen to anyone.  Sorry- off track...but my plan is work, gym, and family time.  Hope you all have a great day.

I soooo understand the wanting to be with a parent for every last moments they have.....Hang tough....I am sure he knows how much you love him - ste*****t - I am sure he thinks of you as his daughter!  Hugs and strength being sent yout way!

I understand wanting to throw in the towel. I think to myself " i have a legitimate excuse,,no one would fault me" but the thing is that there will always be a reason and a excuse not to take care of ourselves. Good luck with your step dad

Morning all...

I hope everyone struggling today can get through their issues. 

Talked to Tanya for pretty long time last night.  Poor thing doesn't know what to do with herself without her kids around driving her crazy.. LOL.  She was in good spirits even though she was in pain and is ready to head home today. 

Today has me trying to wake up... I was up in the middle of the night and could not fall back to sleep.  So, now I am suffering a bit trying to get up.  Working til 3:30

homework and Hebrew school for Siehara, me--trying to make arrangements for her birthday party

After hebrew school, dinner and pilates.

home where hopefully I will get to bed early.

glad to hear about Tanya good luck with your day lisa proud of you for sticking with the gym

WEll today is acting an awful lot like a monday. I had a rough night last night. Some major family drama on Chris' side last night, Amelia didn't want to sleep - I think she is getting teeth and SUPER fussy. This morning Amelia got me up at 4:30 to eat, Chris said she was screaming for a while when I talked to him just before 8. It makes me want to cry that I am not there to comfort her. I miss her so much during the day and HATE being away from her for 12 hours a day. *sigh*

Today has me at wor****il 4 then off to my Mom's to get Amelia. I need her snuggles today more then ever.

I am sorry that you have to be away from Amelia, It is so upsetting to have to juggle both work and mommyhood. I hope that she and you feel better soon.

Good Morning Nicole,

I am tired this morning.  I was at the ER last night…swollen feet, they did ultrasounds of my legs and chest x-rays to check for clots…clotting disorder in the family.  Today, I am wearing my compression stockings, and hating it. 

Today has me chilling with my feet up a lot.  I do have some basic tidying to do in between rest periods.  We’ll see how that goes.

Hope your day goes better Nicole.  Hang in there.

Hugs,

Trish

Thanks Trish I will get better just gotta stop the stinking thinking. Hope you feel better soon.

Hope you feel better Trish.  Keep those compression stockings on.  As much as I hated them after my blood clot, I am very thankful I listened to Gene when he insisted I put them on....
