Stress and WLS (VERY LONG)

You are always in my prayers but I will say some extra ones!! Sounds like to me that you need some "Becky" time. Maybe this weekend you should go get your nails and feet done....just relax for an hour or so...clear your head. Go see a funny movie...you and DH go to the Drive-In *grin*. Have some fun!!!! Just my two cents Hope you feel better soon!! Shree

Thank you, Shree. Last night, DH and I spent some time laughing about American Idol after he finally got home. I think I'm just missing my teddy bear. I REALLY want to see "Monster-in-Law"...maybe for Mother's Day! I love Jane Fonda and the guy who plays Vaughn on Alias. Love you! Becky

becky, im so sorry that things are crazy for your right now. hang in there girl, im saying one for ya! a lot of change at one time can cause a smidge of depression or stress go into high gear. Just think of how nice it will be when you get into your new house and everything is done! you will have your hubby home every night and your mil will be well taken care of It is sad to leave a "home" that you have lived in for so many years, it will be ok. This is a great beginning for you. Make sure you tell your sonny how you feel before you get too stressed lol. you wouldnt want to totally freak out on him, unless you really do want to. and finally, you are going to miss your kiddo's this summer, you have already started to miss them, fail some of them so you can have them again next year. KIDDING. enjoy your summer of change, you will get a new batch in the fall and get to do it all over again. plus you will still get to see them, not on a personal level, but you will still get to see them. I personally cannot wait till school is out! I don't really like jamie's teacher as well as i liked last years and hopeing for a great one next year! anywhoooo slow down and relax, cause its going to get a little crazy. jerri

I am soooo happy! I did not chew and spit out my son, and he STILL turned in his late essay. Now, let us pray! Actually, I always keep the kiddos that I retain if their parents agree. Am I naughty or what? I call them my student teachers! There's nothing worse for a kid at school than a bad teacher, IMHO. It can make life miserable. The cool part is that a good year can wipe away those yucky memories. What grade will Jamie be in next year? Mrs. Bain, in fifth grade, was in my kindergarten class..I'm sooooo young...not! My room mothers for last year and this year were also in my K classes. They have a hard time calling me "Becky." I hope you are doing well, Jerri!!!! Hugs, Becky

Hey Becky, you sure have alot going on !!!!! Sorry about the bug you seem to keep getting, I was like that BEFORE surgery... you could just mention the word BUG and I had it... I think the vitamins have helped that part... but as for the STRESS>>>> I cant eat when I am stressed. If I do... IT comes right back up, pain, foammies, dry heaves.... Guess what else????? THE GAS become TERRIBLE!!!!!!! I work with the public !!!! I work with 7-10 women at least they can laugh when the smells start... they are getting used to it.. I try to keep spray in my smock to spray thru the pocket, (so no one see me spray)... If I eat sugar the gas can be bad but when I am stressed OH MY GET OUT OF THE WAY.. I BET YOU CAN SMELL IT WHERE YOU LIVE

Hey, Kiwi, I can't smell it where I live because I tend to be pretty powerful myself. I have air freshener...Warm Sugar Vanilla splash...in my purse for such occasions. The cool thing is that I can blame a child...not really. Hugs, Becky

Becky ....Remember me asking the same question a few months ago ? about being sick that is ...i think we are more prone to colds and such things .....cause for a few months i was sick all the time and i never get sick and rigth now for the first time in my life the pollen is effecting me ...unfornatually i think we do go thru a time were we are just prone to everything and anything that is going around but looking at my mom and friend i think we will move on and get over this ...So dont worrie ...And the depression is a phase too my mom went thru it and i think i did a tad bit too allready but mom had it pretty bad for alittle bit there .....but she is better than before now !!!! Love ya Laura

I DO remember you posting that question. That's t he cool thing about sticking around. It's great to know that we will move on and get over it. I still do not regret the surgery! I love you more! Hugs, Becky

Becky, I hate that you're feeling so poopie! I know you want to get back in that classroom to be with those kids. I think we are prone to more viruses and bugs now. I agree with what Dee Dee said, we don't eat very much anymore and it affects our health. I know for myself, I always had a cast iron stomach. I'm serious. I could sit and watch an actual autopsy on video (ok, so I'm really interested in forensics and what the inside of the body looks like) while I was eating dinner! Now my stomach reacts to emotions. Threw me for a loop! That never happened before. On my mother's birthday we took her out to eat and she and one of my sister's got into it. The next thing I knew, I thought I was going to vomit. I know it was the stress and the emotions. Please try to take it easy. You're more good to your kids if you stay home when you need to and take care of yourself so you can get back in there! Positive energy coming at ya! Kelle

You are soooo right about being better for the kids if I am well. I would NOT want to be the germ spreader. It's good to know that I am not the only one with new stomach feelings. The cool thing is that though I cannot eat chicken or pasta well, I now can eat things like scallops and crab without getting sick. It's such a learning experience. Today has been much less stressful. I even was able to pet a hissing ****roach. It's so tame that it no longer hisses. LOL SOunds like me! Thanks for the positive energy. I love you, Girlfriend! Hugs, Becky
