Guest guest Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Hi - You left out my favorite stressor. I found ways to get my DD clean, and hair brushed - some of us are going to heaven for surviving the hair fights, btw. I sent a wonderful, wholesome lunch, complete with water bottles - every afternoon the teacher would give me an earful of how awful my DD's behavior or participation was that day. Without fail, I could hold up her water bottle and open her lunch box and find not a bite not a sip - missing. Nevermind that that she is bright and had cueing for drinking and eating in her IEP. (Buying the junk school lunch was no better.) I got fed up begging, and even volunteering. for lunch duty. It didn't help to remind them that no one can work their hardest for 7 or 8 hours without a sip of water, either. Her asthma kicks up when she's dehydrated and that's a problem! We homeshool, and that's stressful, but I, now, know my DD is safe in ways she never was, nor never would be, at schools. It's unbelievably hard to get enough rest or help to de-stress. The daily isolation has really taken a toll on me because I'm a social person, by nature, I'm trying to figure out what I can do to take a little care of myself. How about it, ?

No, taking care of ourselves so we can keep going...that's really hard to do. I'm sending you and all of us moms on this list BIG HUGS! Hey! wait I better save one for me!

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Hi christina, Do you mind if I put my 2 cents in here? Most days I think about the QUIET there will be in heaven...no screaming, stress, struggles, NO MORE everything an issue. Just blessed quiet, and my coffee with International Delight, AHHHH! We really don't nurture ourselves,and I'm constantly being told to, but I sure would like to know how to pull that off. Getting my shower in, is a major feat, and that to me is big time pampering-LOL. Love & Prayers to all you wonderful AI Moms who do the nuturing ..oops-can't spell, either!

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 I am so with you, Joan! The quiet and the tones of voice. My DD has dyssemia so it's like dealing with the meanest, rudest, cruelest, most ungrateful person, you can imagine, at times. I'm so tired of sleeping in sweats so I can be ready for anything. Make that I am just so tired ------------------------of everything. I like 's wish that all of us lived closer so we could support each other... Thank God for the internet, where we can meet and support each other. .... > > Hi christina, > Do you mind if I put my 2 cents in here? > Most days I think about the QUIET there will be in > heaven...no screaming, stress, struggles, NO MORE > everything an issue.
