getting things done without pain and fatigue

[Guest guest]

Jen,

Were you wearing AFOs or orthotics when you were on your feet cleaning?

If not, maybe look into some. If you were, they might need adjusting,

and maybe you just " overdid it " . It happens to the best of us.

Life at home can be busier than going to an office or teaching at a

school. Right now, get into bed, take some Naprosyn or Alleve, and get

some extra sleep.

I hate to clean so much, and have learned though the years, the best

way to clean is one room at a time. So what if it takes me an entire

week to clean the whole house? The point is, nothing, and I mean

nothing, or no one is more important than me and my health. And also my

aquatics, my work, my art, reading, my garden, and life in general. You

may wish to hire some extra household help until you get a home-routine

down and really focus on pacing yourself - set very small, realistic

goals. Are you planning on working part-time when the foster children

arrive? You might want to rethink that - temporarily, until, like I

said, you get a workable routine going.

A while back and Suzanne mentioned the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for

cleaning and I will add that Chlorox Disinfectant Wipes come in VERY

handy too.
