I have bad dreams when I have not had any sleep. On many occasions, because of course its hard to want to lay down and be in agonizing pain while you fall to sleep, I have asked one of my girls to lay-down beside me for a min. until I fall to sleep. All I have to do is make sure I'm touching their foot or leg. They say they don't mind me waking them up to do this, but I always try to get threw it first before I ask....Crazy or what...? I can just imagine when I'm gone, they will be sitting around talking about how I would make them do this...now that would be a funny conversation.
Thats so sweet. It's great that you take care of each other. It is horrendous at times when we haven't slept or having bad nights that we don't even want to go through the stress of trying again. Having that support there when you need it is so helpful.
I'm a bit like that with my cat lol. He's such a big softy. He gives me loads of cuddles and kisses and lays right next to me and literally holds my hand. Serious! He's such a cutie. Now who's crazy?! lol.
I had to look up nook then lol. I need educating. I have to leave my landing light on and wedge the door wide enough for my cat to fit through, so it's quite bright. lol. I can't handle total darkness. I get the spooks really bad.
It's good when we realise in the middle of a bad dream that we are dreaming and we can try to turn it round onto something positive. Not easy though is it? I had one last night and it took me a few minutes then I had to drag myself out of another "paralysis". Horrible!!
Maybe we should leave one of those aromatherapy plug ins on in our rooms and have sweet dreams instead. lol
thanks, Jo, especially for that chocolate tid-bit, lol. I think you're probably right about the part where something was upsetting me but it's being changed.
Jo, I lost this post for a while due to my pain situation but haven't forgotten about it.
I just wanted to say how moved I was when you said that you really have no one in your life to lean on, and how they lean on you, instead. You are a good, strong, brave young woman, Jo. But also, take care of yourself. Take good care. You need to make sure of that because others tend to lean on strong people, and you have enuff on your plate to deal with.
I'm just heartbroken that your mum cannot "be there" for you, nor can your dad or brother. But especially your mum. That's our jobs as mums, to try and always be there for our kids. But it is hard, sometimes, to be able to reach them in the way that they need or want to be reached. God knows, I know that too. I hope you find someone out there in your life who is together enuff to hold you up when you need to lean and cry.
Your interpretation of my dream startled me, Jo, but I think you're right in that those anxieties I have about my son may also be about my own iffy situation. So thank you for having the brilliance to see that, as it truly calmed me down a whole lot. (I hate to think of my son suffering in any way, even in a dream.)
We'll support you here, Jo! I'll even be your faux mom, if you want, although I suspect you're probably the more mature of the two of us!
You're a great kid, you know that? Your mum and dad should be right proud of you.
You are such a sweet heart. Thanks for the kind words again. It's true people lean on strong people. They do. It's good that we're strong people here, although sometimes its a struggle. We need a rock in our lives too.
I'm glad you understood what I meant about your dream. It wasn't clear to me really and I'm sorry if I upset you. I just got a picture in my head of cute little younger girl that looked like it could be you. I hope that you're not too stressed now.
Awww the faux mum sounds great Pet. I need to grow up lol. Thanks again for the kind words!!
