Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 I was so tired last night, I went to bed at 10:15, fell promptly asleep. My 3 year old was in there with us and kept pushing me off the bed. Finally my dh got up and put him, with protest, in his bed. He went right to sleep as did I again. THEN my 5 year old comes up and says Mommy, I had a bad dream. I let him lay in my spot and I went downstairs with blankie and pillow to sleep on the couch. Just get to sleep, the door opens and he's downstairs, " Mom can I watch my show!! " I don't think so. " But the blankets in your bed aren't comfortable. " By this time it was 12:45 and I'm ready to kill a child. Us fibros know that when we're tired, we need to take advantage of it!! Finally I talked him into remembering that his quilt I made him is comfortable and in HIS bed so finally, he goes up, goes to bed in his bed, I go in my bed, at 1am and I'm up at 6 in pain. So, I guess 5 hours ain't that bad!! Gosh, I'm watching the news. 84,000 confirmed dead and then haven't reached some coastal areas yet. And, over night they had two more earthquakes there waiting for another sunami. My gosh, they have to be frantic. I just cry when I watch that and I don't know why....that's not normally me. oh well, guess I'm getting soft.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Margaret, Oh God girl; I know what it is like to have countless nights with NO sleep because of kids. My last two boys (20 months apart) now 10 (in Feb) and 11 years, almost KILLED me. I didn't have FMS then (I was 31) thank God, but I sure felt horrible. When my Christian was born in 1995, Trey (my second boy) was 20 months old didn't sleep all night, already showing signs of ADHD, my husband traveled @ 5 nights a week, and then Christian nursed every 3-4 hours FOREVER (he would not eat solid food until 12 mos. I was a zombie for 2-3 years. My Trey boy (11 yr. old with the behavioral probs) still gets up at night. I know you are tired. But you so blessed as I was to be able to stay home with your babies. I did not go back to full-time work until Christian started 1st grade. Margaret, I know you are tired and worn out, but it will pass. I will pray for God to give you the energy to get through this. But it continues to be very taxing on someone with chronic problems, even when they are older. I am a softie too, but just can't hardley stand to watch the news without crying. My 4th son (really my oldest boys best friend) is in Fallujah and if I start thinking about him, I lose it totally. Maybe our pain, our medications and our diagnosis contributes to being more emotional. But I think it is okay to be emotional. Love and prayers, Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
