Trying to think the good of this day - but its hard. My back really hurts from moving the trash to outside and cleaning the cat box and sweeping. My daughter is throwing a fit in her room ( put her up there so I wont loose my temper) and now when I called my husband, he has lost his keys and he does not have his cell phone with them. Then then the mother of all mothers ( my mom) is coming tonight for a visit. I am going to stay calm and breath. I am going to try my best. My daughter is knocking on her door right now. She needs the time out - she has been whinning and tired all day. I might put her down early for a nap. Ahhhh please pray for me today

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Maybe she can pick up some stuff and put it away for you, or let her help with cleaning up her room, or dusting! My boys loved to dust for me when they were little.
My prayers are with you, but please allow your daughter time with you, helping you, in whatever way you can think of. The little ones love to feel like they are helping.
Good Luck with your visit from Mom. It will get better, it always does. Just keep that positive thought in your mind, its what I tell myself when things look bleak, or I am stressed to the max.
Hugs,
Sunshine
I Look back...I have No idea how i did some of the things I did...worked one full time...One part time...My House was clean everynight before I went to bed...everyone was happy...I would Cook Big meals and freeze them...dealt with People on an Everyday basis...Now ?? Not so Much...I have everything I can do to Stay close to the top of my days...and my days are not 1/4 what they USED to be...I am ONLY 44 !!whats it gonna bee Like in 20 more years ?? Kinda Overwhelming at times isn't it...the very Thought of Life...
Ahhh...but at the End of each day...house was Quiet and clean...That was Worth ALL the hustle and bustle of the day....
I never liked cleaning. Never. I will probably never like a house bigger than the one I have now. I have a town house- and its 3 rooms and the kitchen is big. Yeah. Family is nice to have. I love my family but my mother is just so hard to get to have a good day or visit. She critizes me all the time. Its calm a bit now in my house and daughter is eating. Probably going to go in the shower, and then get dressed and then read her a few books and put her down for a nap. Yeah sounds good. then I am going to rest, take meds and put on roseanne. My mom is bringing dinner tonight. Ledos pizza! yum! so yeah. Just I hope that my husband finds his keys.. one less thing we need right now!
I know once they get to that whiny point it is naptime, I remember those days well!
Enjoy your pizza, it will work out.
