- The girls and I are moving at the end of the month. There's so much to do.
- I'm putting Rylee in a new school. The guilt surrounding that decision is immense.
- The pups are home and fabulous....but still adding to the craziness here.
- Have to get seeds started or there will NOT be a garden again.
- Ten year anniversary in May...supposed to be special.
- Everyone's in a hurry.
- Put my Mom in the hospital Wednesday night. Scared me.
- Did I mention, potty training puppies....yipes.
- Purchasing, surveying and fencing part of our neighbour's land.
- Second-guessing living apart (through the week) from Big Daddy.
- Sourcing appropriate foods for Ry.
- Day-to-day dealing with Autism.
- Keeping up with my blog...everyone's blog.
- Paperwork.
- I feel the need to be baptized....NOW.
- Preparing this house to be sold....eventually.
- Extended family responsibilities.
- Lifestyle changes....some friends and family are NOT on board.
- I feel the need to just SLOW our lives down...kill the tv...radical, I know.
In a month from now...everything will look different...I'm sure. Hope you're here when I get back....
Making a list can sure put things into perspective. Yes, you do have a full plate! But as you said, give it a month and things will have fallen into place. Do what you need to do. Don't worry - we will be here waiting for you!
ReplyDeleteLife is short. Enjoy it. Do what is right for you. Who cares if people (family/friends) agree or disagree. One piece of advice I received that is very good to remember...I was a wife before a mother.
ReplyDeleteKilling TV is good. I've done that. I'm not back to Monday is x night and Tuesday is y night though. LOL! But I gotta unwind some how. How much Fresh Beat Band can a girl take?!?
TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF. You have to. Take care. Wish I was there to help out. Whatever that help would be. Will help for homemade bread. :)
xoxo
Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Will be sending positive thoughts and wishes your way and look forward to the continuing saga once things settle down (hopefully). Stay strong.
ReplyDeleteAll of sudden I don't feel quite as stressed out anymore. Good luck to you all Cath. I hope things start to simmer down a bit for ya soon.
ReplyDeleteMy friend, I'm sending all the positive energy that I can muster up to you! I know you'll hndle it OK...but I wish that everything would slow down a bit for you!
ReplyDeleteTake a deep breath, take a step back...then just YELL at the top of your lungs!
Hey, it can't hurt, ya know?
You can do it..Cath...you can...just one step at a time. To hell with what other family members say....Ry, J and Lyle are your immediate family and that is all that matters...the others are just on the outside looking in, not living it. Big hugs my friend...

Cathy...
ReplyDeleteLike Penny, I too wish that I was closer to help...and agree with the others..only YOU know what works best for your family and that is all you can do....
If something gets missed, then tomorrow is a new day..I cant pretend to even know what you are going through...but if you ever just need to vent..I am a good listener..put the computer on CAP LOCKS and yell away.. :)
if you need to take a break, then we will certainly when you come back...you even inspired me to try me hand at organic...I ---yes me, bought a cleaning eating cookbook and made pumpkin and applesauce muffins...45 ingredients later, voila...who knew????
What a full menu you have. I wish you the best of luck. Hope all goes well for you!
