Oh my I can't imagine tackling two little ones like that, it sure would tke the wind out of your sails. Maybe ask her if she can make any other arrangements since you didn't expect it to be during the day. Otherwise I send you good wishes and prayers for strength! Hang in there hon!

Loretta,
I can relate to that, I seem to catch myself taking on too much alot of the time. If I am having a good day I forget all about the bad days hiding around the corner. Sometimes I think it is a good thing to push my boundaries and then sometimes I wonder if taking on too much is what makes the bad days soo bad. I am not sure if there is an answer to that question. Kinda like the chicken or the egg dilemma.
Hang in there and try to keep your spirits up. I do know for sure that makes a big difference.

Sweetie, there is no shame in telling her she has to make other arrangements. While your intentions were stellar, your health and sanity is paramount. Gently let her know that this is more than you can handle at the moment and give her an exact date you will no longer be able to baby sit.

thanks but i do feel like i should be doing something to help my husband i was allways a hard worker would work 16 hours a day and to not be able to do much at all at 38 its hard. I think all the time why was my life cut short i hate being in pain all the time i allso hate trying to hide it from every one. But i feel that no one can really understand it. i look fine so they think well shes just a baby. Im not im i strong person but this pain is real and it nocks me in my butt. my husaband is understanding i just try to still hide it. ive been told by so many im crazy i just dont want to tell people i hurt . Hes just a kid i should be able to at least do this but wow was he teriable yesterday and i dont want alex acting like that he even told my husband no.but i also no how it is to be a mom and trying to find a cheap babysitter. loretta
