it just doesn't let up does it, veiled? I hope things slow down a bit.

Chicken pox!!! Agggghhh! I'm one of the lucky ones, got exposed and immune, but never had it. That's good because my willpower with not itching something is nil.

I hope Anthony feels better soon.

I'm doing good over here. I'm very tired lately, so I think I've come down a bit, but my mood is great. I'm sleeping good, what else could I ask for?

Nam, it sure doesn't. But hubs left work trying really hard not to act mad at me. He is getting ex's meals and ours and going over there to see if he needs him to pick up his pain killers for him while he drops off his dinners. He is passing kidney stones, not serious just fun! One looks like it won't be an issue but the other is iffy.

Then he will go get kids for me and is stopping to get little one a set of monkey jammies I saw at the dollar store. She has been insistent in having her own lounge wear like mom. I have been loaded down with sets of them. Cannot stand constricted clothes at all anymore, I wear "clothes" on doc day! She is on the phone telling him to buy her a bunch of new jammies now.

A moment ago she had the hangers and rubbing them on the windows, sounded just like nails on a chalk board. I was arguing (yes, with a 2 yo) to stop and she kept telling me no, she is making music. So I start the count down one... little smart ass says two... and runs away laughing.

Uneventful for me, just trying to get everyone organized and on the same page. Been lazy recovering from taking wrong med yesterday, and little one getting me sprites to settle my stomache since she is a "big girl" now and can open the fridge and loves fetching things out of it now she has it figured out. Turd left the freezer open for about 3 or 4 hours though yesterday before it was caught when we got back from doc.

I think I will be buying a big rubber spider for the freezer. My sweet grandmother I love dearly used to do that to us as little ones. It was her "pet" that loved to live in her freezer. So could not take it out as it would hurt his feelings. Sure did wonders at keeping our little asses out of the freezer. I loved how she got us to do what she wanted. She never told us no or don't but she was pretty damn slick at making sure she still got what she wanted in the end. Smart lady.

Now she is making music with a water bottle and a lincoln log, her drum "not a water bottle according to her... now she is spitting on the sofa beating it, threatened time out, she said no, she is "cooking", now to the guitars with the log. Damn this house is so loud and the other 3 are going to be home so soon. Dammit, now have to chase her down playing trampolin in the arm chair... God I would kill for a fraction of that energy!!! They are ammusing at least, better than any ol' TV.

Hi All, am back now at about 70%. Still a bit wobbly and unwell, but functioning once again. My typing is relective of this, as it is taking me twice the time to type what I normally can. Thank you all for the get well... much appreciated. Some flu or virus has been in me for weeks now. I thought it might have been PTSD the first time from over doing it, maybe not so now, because even after relaxing I still got wacked again. Maybe a combination of over doing it a few weeks ago lowered my immune system, and here I am, now suffering for it. Not sure, but been sick as hell as a result. Ended up having to get an acupuncture treatment late the other night to try and get my system back in balance, which seems to be doing something for me, as this literally has knocked me on my arse. My legs have been dropping out from under me, dizzy, faint, etc etc... endless shit.

Feel better today though than the last few, atleast I am functioning a bit today, opposed to the last few. Still taking it easy on myself and I will get to all posts and messages here eventually, I really just don't want to push myself just yet and get sick again so soon, as I need to get better with a bub to be born soon.

So please don't think I am ignoring things here, as I am not intentionally, just trying to get better. I will get to things as I feel capable though.

I am glad to see some are having some good moments, funny and bad as well, but that is life I guess. I hope everyone is taking care of themselves best as possible...

Anthony, glad to hear you're feeling somewhat better. Please continue to take it easy....And, hope you continue to take it easy sometimes even beyond this immediate illness. Well wishes for you and your son.

Sounds like a dam good choose not to push yourself now and stay sick. You wouldn't be getting sick all over again, chances are you'd simply stay sick.

Yeah, I think everyone of us agrees with you Anthony that what with your baby on the way, you'll want and need to be well. Give Kerri-Ann a hug from all of us and please, please don't rush getting well. It seems to be something we simply don't have any control over, even though we sometimes like to think we do.

anthony, glad you're starting to feel better. take care of yourself. i am praying for you, and the little one with chicken pox, and Kerri-Ann and the new one!
What a lot to have going at one time!

Thanks hope and cookie, much appreciated. Yer Hope, I think I will just keep it all a bit less for myself for a little bit, as I certainly know what you mean about often not having control. That damn perfection syndrome come out and won't let me stop until I have finished what I started sometimes. I want to find that one and kick the crap out of it...

Welcome back Anthony! Sorry to hear about the illness running through the family right now.

Bec

Thanks bec... me too, me too. I wish it would go and pick on someone else in the neighbourhood... damn viruses.

Anthony, don't make me whoop you. You know damn well this shit makes it easier to get ill, and you know even good stress is still stress. Talk about life changing! We have learned a lot with your guidance, let us take care of it for now. We may not do as well as you but you would not have let us be where we are if you did not think we could handle it. Now remember that.

You know we will do our best for you while you recover. I want to see you well as the rest of the board. Shit, you made me care again so don't piss me off seeing you hurt yourself, LOL as it goes with caring. You and Kerri-Ann need to take a break and prepare! No excuses, take a break dammit before you do (said with big hugs). That new little one is way more important. But I do expect to hear it when she arrives!

If anyone... it should be you to know why you are so ill and describing me ha ha! Get some rest and jump back in, and then back off again when the wee one shows. When she does give her a kiss on the head for me... You have 2 boys, I am betting a girl, and my condolences now ahead of time LOL.

Again like you said Nam, it never stops. Teen stepped on pipe above ground at the well. Water all over. Will have to bust out my old plumbing skills. No water tonight.

Girl gave some info up about a boy who has been in alternative school and sexually harrassing her during therapy. Today he told her he was going to rape her and her family, this kid is just messed up. Hubs did not tell me but she did when he went to buy new pipes.

He did not want to upset me and did not know when to tell me.

Now I have a hole in a living room wall, have a shatteed hairbrush in bathroom (do not recall that , just see damage) took my fire bat to garage and beat and beat. I knew my pinky finger and a couple nails hurt some, and elbow and shouler a bit. But now... Damn I think I hurt myself. Fingers to back and every spot on the way. School did nothing or should say teacher... she has actually told my girl she is going to quit as it is too much. So momma bear is going in first thing Monday. F that BS! He grabbed at another girls private area when she defended my girl with even more BS.

Hubs is going too... support, stand up to be heard, or bail me out of jail when I snap... Guess we will see Monday. All I know is don't F* with my babies.
