I am sorry for being a downer earlier I guess I was having kind of a hard week. I won't bring my troubles again. I will pick up I guess you can call it a bad case of PMS sorry. I will push my workouts and eat more healthy and hopefully all will be ok:) Thank you all for the smiles.
On the other note I can tell you something so funny I did I actually had to laugh my self silly, I was doing laundry and I started the machine to fill up with water and while filling up I decided to get something done and I forgot about the machine and it went the whole way with NO laundry, and then I started it AGAIN and got distracted AGAIN and did the same thing TWICE LMAO I just had to laugh at myself at how silly I was.
 
Leslie...please...no apologies....we are here to support and encourage one another. Listen to your body and remember to have days where you do easier workouts. They don't all have to be gung ho! Glad you are feeling better.

Hey! We all have periods of time when we REALLY need encouragement and support. It's ok to complain :) I went through several months when I was VERY depressed where I couldn't do or say anything optimistic. My friends listened patiently and did all they could to help. It made such a difference just having somebody truly listen, even if they couldn't help.

I haven't been able to workout much either, and I am not very good at dealing with that. It took a whole year to accept it a little. I've just decided that I have a family that loves me, firm butt or not :D As a matter of fact, the cushier I am, the more my dogs and cats like to sleep on me. Can't displease them, can I?

I hope you feel better!!

LOL!!!! Yes I did about three hours later LMAO!!!! I still laugh at how weird I was, I guess I got into the heat of cleaning and cooking that I forgot what I was doing LOL.
 
Leslie:

forget the apologies girl, we are here for you as you would be for us and that's the whole point! If you can't bitch and moan here, where can you do it?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

You know, the laundry escapades you describe clearly indicate that you are mentally over-taxed right now, you are clearly blocking things out because there is too much anxiety and things to do on the list going around in your head right now, your mind can't hold on to it all. I know because I have done the same things! I recently set the laundry machine to fill in the basement through the hose pipe my hubby attached for me from the tap (because it only fills with cold if left to do it automatically, stoopid machine) and went upstairs to tidy up the kitchen or shoo the girls out of pyjamas and into clothes, take your pick, and of course I totally forgot the laundry filling until it struck me half an hour later that there was something I was supposed to have done, and what was it now?!?!?! You can imagine the scream I let out when I remembered and ran down to view the disaster.....

And I did it again the next day. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!@`@%#$^@!%#)&!%#^%!$#%%@#^()@&(*#^p*(!^$#)&*@^$p*@(&#_@#

Then there were the many times just before my brain collapsed into depression three years ago when I drove to campus to teach, left the car in the expensive parking lot, dashed in to give my class, then left to go home on the bus totally on a different planet, and then when it was time to go get my preschooler at 3.30pm, wondered why I couldn't find my car in the lot outside my house..... Because you left it down town you eejit! I did this three times in one semester. THen to crown the same semester I forgot to collect my daughter from preschool completely and arrived home at 9.30pm to see my hubby standing in the kitchen reading the mail and asking me, "honey, where are the kids?" I have never felt so panicked and guilty in all my life. (They had been collected by a neighbour, by the way)

So, I can tell you that your mishaps are a clear sign from your brain that you are carrying too much baggage around with you right now. Let something go, make sure you have a half hour of peaceful Leslie time just for you every day, and get the rest your brain and body need.

Hang in there and we are here when you need us. Smile

That sounds like what I did with the bathtub upstairs last year. I turned it on and the phone rang I answered it and forgot the tub running and then I heard something down stairs in the laundryroom, I opend the door to see Niagra falls LMAO!! you can say I flooded the basement. I was scared to tell my hubby but when I did he kind of laughed and forgave me for the disaster LOL. I am so glad I can laugh at those things. and the flooded basement. that happened twice LOL first time my toddler did it with the toilet then I did it with the tub LOL.
 
And hubby is in the easy chair covered in cobwebs...

I am in stitches, you guys! I could write a book about the stuff I've done. I's call it "Things I Never Told My Husband:)!

You know they say that men are more "compartmentalized" and are best at handling things one thing at a time and women are better multi-taskers but it's a lie! Remeber that commercial, "I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in the pan and never, never let him forget he's a man,"? Should go, I can bring home the bacon fry it up in the pan but the reason it's burnt is because I had to run that load of whites for the third time because I forgot it was there while I was scrubbing the toilets then mopping the floors and yelling spelling words to Little Jimmy and if one more person asks me where I put one of their belonging which THEY should have put away my head is going to explode and there will be gray matter all over the place and I will not be the person who cleans it up this time!

Leslie, you were smart to post! Sometimes we just need a little encouragement, to know we aren't the only ones to get overwhelmed and a smile to get you back on task! It's great to read your posts and know that you are feeling better! Do something nice for yourself today!

LOL That is soooo funny, we really could write a book about that. I am laughing so hard!! Thank you!!
 
RE: And hubby is in the easy chair covered in cobwebs.....

Leslie, last week I was running down the stairs on my way to the laundry room:) ( I always clean and launder as if I am running a marathon 'cause you get more done that way, right?). Anyway, my son, who's name is Sam, (but I thought "little Jimmy" sounded better) who is six, had left his shoe in the middle of the stairs and I tripped over it. My foot rolled over in a BAD way and I landed face down on the tile floor at the bottom of the step where I very loudly cried out "oh,God!", repeatedly and with high drama because I thought I had sprained my ankle badly and I would not be able to work out and I have finally gotten a routine going again. I popped up abruptly and walked around and the ankle was fine, the foot mildly sprained but only a day or two of rest between me and cardio and that would give me the chance to catch up on house work so it was okay! Now Sam was saying, "it's not MY fault," and my lovely 13 and 14 year-old daughters were trying not to laugh, at least until they knew I was ok and then they relly yucked it up.

When we told the hubby about it, he looked at the kids and very seriously admonished them about leaving things for clumsy old mom to trip over because when injury or illness befalls mom, life doesn't run smoothly for the other 4 selfish buggers in the house! And they reminded him that when I had foot surgery in May, I was slower and painful to watch but I stayed on task. And became an excellent one footed hopper besides!

My question is, "where doe a mother go to resign?" ;-)

RE: And hubby is in the easy chair covered in cobwebs.....

Bobbi, you are way too funny!! I laughed so hard reading your posts. All I can say is that I admire all of you mothers. I do the same things when it's just myself! so I hate to imagine what it would be like if I had little ones to take care of. I trip over my own belongings that should've been put away :( So embarrassing.

RE: And hubby is in the easy chair covered in cobwebs.....

LOL talk about clumsy. Last summer me and hubby get a kick out of knock each other into the pool, well one day he was in it stand up with his clothes on and I was on the outside of the pool wearing his shoes because I was too lazy to put on mine. well I saw the perfect moment to knock him in and I took it he hurry and jumped up and I turned to run and fell and twisted my ankle so bad that I did sprain it, the doctors asked me how I did it and told them and I said it was so worth it LOL. I still laugh about that day becuase it was too funny, the kids laughed all the rest of the day.
 
RE: And hubby is in the easy chair covered in cobwebs...

Bobbi! I'm rolling!!!! I'm copy this and sending it to my best friend. I'm sure we've all felt this way so many times, but no one has ever said it better!

RE: And hubby is in the easy chair covered in cobwebs.....

Thank you, Sara! I am enjoying myself way too much this morning. And the answer to the question is, "You can't, it's not that kind of a job!" It's the toughest job you'll ever love!

I am the twelth of thirteen kids and I was not a good helper to my mom so I look at this as cosmic revenge. I think children, in general, are oportunistic and they aren't going to do anything they don't have to. As for hubby, he is good when the spirit moves him and he puts in long hours so I don't expect too much of him at home. He often tells me I should see his desk at work. It's so neat and organized. I usually think about his words when I am picking up his socks that didn't quite make it into the basket, the underwear behind the bathroom door. But as long as his boss thinks he's neat, what do I care? LOL! As for the kids, you ask them to pick up after themselves and if they don't, there's always the refusal to don the chaufers uniform for a trip to the mall or an outing with a friend. Ah, the power.

I am watching my husband rinsing off the top of my son's turtle sandbox through the window as I type this. So you see, it isn't that he doesn't help, he just does things don't really need to be done!

Oh, Clare. I've done something like that, too! I went to school, taught a class, attended two others, had a couple of conferences with students in my office, then went back outside to find my car was still running! I had forgotten to turn off the key. Good grief! And yes, I've forgotten to pick up my son at pre-school, and once during kindergarten, too. The worst part was, the school didn't even try to call me. They called his grandma. So I was "guilted" by three different people, not including myself--my worst critic, by far.

Leslie,
You think that's bad? I've turned the water on to fill up the bathtub, then gotten sidetracked doing something in another part of the house and not realized it until I saw water coming out the door of the bathroom...I've done that twice in 2 years time. What a mess! So, don't feel bad. At the time I was pretty upset, but my husband and I both laugh about it now. Glad you're feeling better!

Well there is alot more to the story I was chicken to tell LOL. well you see my toddler flooded the bathroom and the basement so when I did it with the tub I knew he wouldn't get mad at the baby because he is the baby so I blamed him till I felt bad and told him I did and he said he knew I did it and we laughed till we were just about rolling LOL.
as you can guess I never leave the tub running without being in the room. Now is that low or what LOL
 
Shari:

positively hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bobbi, you are right, husbands always choose to help out by doing the stuff that has the lowest priority. Why is that?!?!?!?!?!
Nevermind, it's must have something to do with the way their brains are wired........

We are all crazy together, which makes us perfectly sane and normal!

Peace to us all

Clare
 
RE: And hubby is in the easy chair covered in cobwebs.....

Bobbi, then your husband is just being the perfect, typical man! :D My DB and my father are both the same. Arguments can fly for hours over what really needs to be done, but at the end of the day, instead of a finished bathroom, there's a frappacchino, a movie, and a long speech about how long it took to get them....
