Sorry I haven't been on much these last couple of days. My son has been so sick. I have been up with him for the last week. As a matter of fact, it's 2am, and I'm up with him again. He has a horrible cough and can't sleep. Therefore, niether can mom. Oh well, I've been dealing with insomnia for about 2 weeks now anyway, so, at least I have something to take up my time. This hasn't been a real good week for me. I really don't like writing negative journals, but I guess sometimes it's inevitable. The fatigue has been overwhelming, the pain excruciating. The thought of doing chores nearly sends me on a spiral downhill. I have clean laundry sitting in a chair for a week. I don't have the energy to fold it and put it away. There has been clean cloths in the dryer for two days, and I have washed the same load twice, tomorrow will be the third time! I really think it's the weather. We haven't seen the sun here in forever! It's been so overcast and rainy for about two weeks. I used to love rainy season, it would revitalize me! Now, it just dampens my spirit. To much for to long. A couple of days I can handle, but, I need the sun! So, anyway, forgive me for not getting to your journals and returning your hugs. I'm thinking about you all, and praying daily. The Lord is really working on me, and surrounding in his love. I am being filled everyday with the Holy Spirit, which excites me beyond words! He is bringing changes and I am ready and willing for the next step. Keep me in your prayers as He prepares me for my next journey. I love you all very much. You are so special to me, and you are always on my mind. You have become such a major part of my life. Without this place, I would have no safe haven, no sounding board, no true understanding. You are my blessing from God.

oh hon i can certinaly emphaise with the fatigue of late and the pain.. it has been bad here as well... my family has been living out of laundry baskets...smile.. i will get someone else to do it.. i will fold and sort and that is it...then if they dont put it away themselves they can just pick it out of the laundry basket clean for all i care at the present time...smile.. right now i have been up all night between my muscle spasms and listening to my husband coughing...sigh..
we have a broncial infection running through the house...3 out of 5 at the moment are on heavy duty anti-biotics... the city is at high risk for it..it seems to be everywhere.. if your son gets worse perhaps you may want to get him checked out...sigh...

Oh Sherie, Fatigue and insomnia, THAT SUCKS! Sorry your son is feeling crappy. And just think, it may be the third time you wash that load of laundry, but it won\'t be the last! LAUNDRY IS A FOREVER CHORE! Just when you think its all done, somebody changes their clothes! I love ya lots and hope you get some m uch needed sleep soon.
Sherie, I hope that your son feels better soon. I pray that your insomnia leaves and doesn\'t come back for a long time. As for the laundry, I have the same thing going on here. Makes me feel better that I\'m not alone. lol Take care and a big hug!!!

Sherie, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you son is getting better. My little boy has had a cough and cold for over a week and it wont go away. It\'s not bad enough to keep him home from school but bad enough to make him feel cruddy. Take care of yourself.
You are not alone, I have been feeling really tired and Blah lately too. Luckily my kids are both better this week. I hope your son and you feel better really soon. I do pray that your pain will go away and you can get some rest. love you lots and lots. Take care of You, and I will be interested to know where God takes you on your next journey. Always thinking of you. Love kim
Sheri, I have two baskets of clothes that have been in my hallway for a week, dirty dishes of 2 days and fatigue with facial numbness but I don\'t need the sun, I need the Son.
It will be okay, these are just preparation periods. I pray your son will be well soon and you can get some rest too!
Love you
Hey we could have a how long the clothes stay in the dryer????I WIN!!!!! I have clothes in the washer that I have to now re-wash...I am such a energy HOG> God bless you and may the Holy Spirit Fill you from your head to your toes...Rain Fire down on my friend SHerri!!!! Huggles sisters in spirit!
I\'ve washed clothes three times before due to no time or no energy to get them done. I\'ve had clothes sit in the dryer for many days! So I can relate as many of us can. I just keep buying more laundry baskets so that the clean and the dirty have a home. LOL When I actually get caught up on the washing, drying, folding, putting away, etc., I am always amazed at how many laundry baskets I have!
Take care of yourself and your son. You\'re in my thoughts and prayers. Oh, I need the sun too! I dislike the dismalness of winter and absolutely crave the sun. I can take -40 as long as the sun is shining!
