How are you doing?
Sunflower
I'm doing ok. I worked an extra day last week for one of the other night dispatchers due to her sister falling and tearing mutiple things in her knee and she went to help her. So tonight she is working for me. Loving the extra day off. I have my 13 year old with me all day now. She got out early from school due to flex days. My 10 year old is still having to go. So we have been getting things done around here. lol She loves it if i have to go lay down for a little bit because that means that she gets a break. I can now see my counters in the kitchen. I've been doing clothes at night and the girls put them up when they get up. I go to sleep after hubby goes to work and 10 year old goes to school. I still get up before the 13 year old. But tonight im taking it easy because I work tomorrow night. My back is hurting because of all the bending and walking. My arms are screaming at me (really it feels like my arms are in fire) I took a hot shower to see if that would help but it did not. Everyone asleep but me so im going to take a musle relaxer to get a few hours of sleep because i have an early morning erran then going to try to sleep before work. But thanks for checking on me Sunflower!! It really means alot
Hi Saniehay,
It is great that you have your daughter helping out. I am sure it's a boost to her self esteem- feeling needed. I am still struggling with my son to get consistent help with his laundry but I know eventually he will get the hang of it. it seems like you have worked out some things to make your life easier. Very creative
SK,
My brother has not said anything to me recently. In fact, when I have tried to communicate with him recently, because he invited me to see my nephews, he does not reply. Instead I get emails from his girlfriend. Which is fine by me. She is pretty friendly and understanding. It's no loss to me. She is a nice replacement for him. She certainly listens and responds to my texts and emails. I don't take him being obnoxiuos too personal because he is just as bad to my mom and sister. We always wonder where he came from because he has always lacked the compassion of our parents and my other brother. He was a handful to my mom when we were kids.
I know that sometimes you just need to tell someone how you are feeling. To "regular" people it may seem like complaining but they just dont and cant understand. It is nice to be able to ramble and get rid of some of the stress, so I say ramble on!
