Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Maybe I'm just whining... I've had a sinus infection and respiratory flu for 3 weeks now. I want to do something today...I've started (yet not finished anything) getting spring clothes out, raking yard, cleaning the house. I ache all over. I haven't had a weekend day to just do whatever for about 5 weeks now. Maybe that is it. No respite care, since Karrie's provider hasn't been available. She doesn't like to go outside, she doesn't like to go anywhere (except Mc's). I don't have the energy to fight with her today, so she's sat just where she wants...in front of the tv. I feel like such a bad mom. I just want to cry... So, I'm writing to you all to whine instead...sorry...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Sue, we've all been there. There's nothing wrong with you; the world just sucks sometimes. Hang in there and stop beating yourself up. granny On Sat, Mar 21, 2009 at 3:04 PM, sue <karriemom@...> wrote: > Maybe I'm just whining... > I've had a sinus infection and respiratory flu for 3 weeks now.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hey Sue been there done that! I know how it can be; this past week I had my mom to doctor to see about having cement, yes cement, injected into the fractures in her back to relieve her pain. My husband's surgery for a deviated septum was vancelled because the anesthesiologist didn't like the eay his stress test looked, and my son ended up at ER teice. Once for headache and fever where they did a spinal tap to make sure he didn't have meningitis (he had the vaccine ERRRR!) and the second time to see why his headache continued to be excrurciating. Spent friday night at ER eith him and they didn't know what was wrong...ended up at neurologist and after a MRI and finding out he has an arachnoid cyst (not to worry about) they decided he had a leak from the spinal tap. Did a blood patch this last Monday and he is doing great! I have been running to all these doctrors and ER's for the last month now so when I get two minutes I let Micah sit in front of the TV too!!! I too somimes feel like a bad mom but a body can only do what a body can do. Have a soak...with bubbles and perhaps a nice cup of chamomile tea or a glass of merlot and chill!!n n Whine away~~~~~~I hear ya!!! Loree what's wrong with me??? =0 AMaybe I'm just whining...

Life gets int he way hun....Isnt that what weekends are for- bumming around???? Let her watch tele- it aint gonna kill her- if you are sick you need to rest too- maybe watch some girlie flicks together on the couch with some popcorn and hot chocolate?
