woe is me
since i don't have a really pathetic photo of myself to share, you get pretty but dying roses. don't read this post unless you're ready to watch me play my tiny violin while i cry to myself. i am not doing well. not. at. all. some days you just feel so bad you have to tell someone. anyone that'll listen. i am tense. i am tired. i am sick. again! i'm grumpy. i'm annoyed. i have no. more. patience. i want to bury myself into a foot of covers and die for the day. i have two sick, whiny babies that i can't seem to help because they just keep crying. my head feels like it's going to split right in two... one half for each of them. my shoulders are so tense i imagine they could hold just about anything. and they probably are. i have pressure in my chest, a sore throat, and an icky cough. i'm torturing myself by thinking about a photography job i can't take. i'm all around feeling sorry for myself about now.

Joleen, I don't think there's anything I can do to make this better but I just want to say that I hope this rough patch in your life will pass. We all know how life can be, it can really wear you out.
I won't give you advice because I don't know everything that goes on in your world but know that I listened to you and did not judge you. My only suggestion is that you can make decisions that will benefit your well being, whatever they may be. I must add your photos of your seff are anything but pathetic. You inspred me to want to do a month of moi.
I'm not even sure I helped but hopefully you do feel that your blog buddies are here to support you :)
yep, have had many of *those* days myself. but they always pass. hope you feel better soon - i'm sending hugs and sunny days your way :)
Big E~HUGS coming your way!
I KNOW...I was like that all Fall right up till Christmas! I was starting to annoy myself!!! It SUCKS being sick and run down all of the time!
I'll think good thoughts just for you today! xoxoxo
Dear Joleen,
Oh the pain I feel for you right now! I don't miss those days at all. It's one thing to have to deal with your own body and illness but to add two more bodies to the equation...not fun at all. I just wish we lived closer to one another...
On a lighter note, your mom mentioned the dimmetap in a precious post. That might be a good idea right about now :)
Hugs and kisses to you!
awwww...man
that totally sucks.
hope you ALL feel better soon!
oh hugs to you...hope you feel better soon!
take care of yourself!
I can totally relate (except luckily not sick--that would really suck). Perhaps it's some post-holiday exhaustion, and the inevitable low before an an invigorating spring-back in the new year. Glad things are looking better as of your later post. Hang in there. All is well!!!! xo --L.
Who are you kidding? You KNOW you need at least ONE extra pair of hands. Don't be afraid to ask for them. I wish I had done that (asked a friend/neighbor/babysitter for help)when I was raising my children, but I tried to tough it out alone. Husband had given his best at the office and didn't have a whole lot left to give at day's end. That takes its toll. This is going to happen again, so next time, reach out and ask for help, OK?

WOW...I don't have kids myself but I know it must be frustrating...I have a 9 yr old stepson and sometimes I just want to get under a pile of covers and scream too! but after all he's just a kid and I love him.
