Today is officially the first day of the summer holidays, for us.
What am I doing?
Feeling sorry for myself!!
Me and the eldest have got, what I call, *time out* colds. You know, you never stop, day to day. Then suddenly you do, and it's like your body goes...................'okay, I can be ill now!'
It's not like I'm really ill, just months of running around, caring for others, has caught up. Also knowing that I won't get out much, has added to it.
The 'leaving the house' problem has got a little better. The teen is more social than he's been in years. The tween has already gone out with friends once, and is asking to go again, obviously I said yes! I'm as pleased as punch he's getting out!
Little A has managed, around, 2 hours in total, in the back garden, over the weekend! This is a huge thing for him, as normally he won't leave the house AT ALL.
I'm still sitting here, under a quilt, feeling full of self pity though. I've eaten a really fatty take-away, which I really need not to be doing. I missed Zumba last night, and won't be going tonight, because I feel crappy. I also know I won't be getting oiut much, and feel that people will judge me for it, which makes me feel REALLY guilty.
I know I shouldn't worry what others think, but I do.
So don't feel sorry for me. I'm doing a good enough job of that, on my own.
Sending the biggest hugs and prescribing rest. Sod what everyone thinks. Just think of your and those gorgeous 4 boys of yours x
ReplyDeletethank you lovely, I have got them out of the house, once! Lots of play doh action today lol x
DeleteMe too! My 'time out' cold started on Friday & all I want to do is hide under my duvet!
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better xx
I pretty much stayed, cwtched up on the sofa, for 3 days! x
DeleteI'm feeling sorry for myself too today, hope it wears off for both of us, and glad that your kids are getting out a little more - can you send over whatever you're giving them please as I have a mole here? xx
ReplyDeleteYh, it only happened once, the rain stopped play. Gutted x
DeleteOh no! I hope you feel better soon....
ReplyDeleteStuff what anyone things :) x
I really have to say that to myself more x
DeleteFirst, I love that even though you're feeling sorry for yourself you're reporting some pretty positive things!
ReplyDeleteSecond - why would people judge you for it? I totally get the "time out" cold thing - I get that too. The week after Samaire was ill, I spent an entire day in bed unable to move! Nobody can judge you; you spend all your time running around caring for others. You deserve a couple of days on the sofa watching afternoon movies and eating junk. Take care of yourself and come back fighting fit xx
