Topic: RE: New to Group
Welcome to the group Kasey. You need to be your own best booster. Take the rules you learned in 2007 and reapply them. Get the unhealthy things out of the house, your child does not need them either. Set a healthy example for your child. Get him exhausted so that he will sleep better, daily walks with the stroller will help you too. Do you and your child share a room? Consider separate rooms to improve your sleep.

Topic: RE: Time to give a darn AGAIN
Hey. thanx for the pep talk.  I do deserve to take care of myself.  Thats what I am trying to do.  So far it has been a good week. 

Baby had a condition called gastrocenchisais (something like that, but its where her bowels were growing outside her stomach in utero).  1st surgery was to remove necrotic bowels.  2nd and 3rd surgery was to put the intestines back in.  The last surgery was to remove inflammed/ possible necrotic bowels.

Fiance has been in charge of the housework ever since hes been off.  But the dishes are washed once a week and sit in the sink the rest of the time.  empty soda bottles sit on the counter (his not mine).  Floor might get swept or mopped once every 2 weeks.  He doesnt vaccum, I normally do that.  I do the bathroom, bc no one likes to do that.  We do the laundry togehter.  He will wash my uniforms for me while I am sleeping and such.  He does do the housework, just not at the level that I think it should be done when he is home all day.  The dishes could be washed everyday.  The floor could be vaccummed ev ery few days.  I refuse to do any of the cleaning, unless we are having visitors over.  Other than that when he does the kitchen now it usually takes him 2-4 hours.  Trying to get him to see that if he does something an hour a day, it will get him moving, keep the house looking nicer, and not be so harder or take so long to do.

Also been worried about his health because his only exercise has been walking from the couch to the bathroom/kitchen to get something to eat or drink and a 20minute walk with the dog once or twice a week.  I am worried hes gonna have a stroke or something because hes not taking care of himself.  So my goal is to get him to the gym with me.  I cant make him eat any better since hes the one doing the cooking.. but I am gonna try once or twice a hwalthy cooking night with a new recipe..

Long .. sorry.  Hope u are doing well.! how's school? hows the grandbabies?

hugs

ty Mags.  Yes I agree that I can handle stress better when eating healthy, sleeping better, and exercising.  Besides all that the exercise releases endorphins (happy hormones), which always make me feel better.  And I finally remembered that there are things in life that I just have little contorl over.  Atleast when I am watching what I eat and exercising (just paying attention to being healthy again), I do have TOTAL control over that.

Hugs to you and thanx for giving me the little pep talk.
Fran
