My husband left to visit his parents in Oklahoma on Tuesday, so I was forced to slow down - I have to be extra careful not to crash while he's away, since I'm on my own with the kids!<br /><br />Also, Jamie's been home sick with bronchitis all week, so I've been trying to keep him company in the family room and we've enjoyed some movies together - also kept me from running around too much.<br /><br />Oh, and all that laundry is cleared out of the hallway finally! Much better for my mental health.<br /><br />So far, so good!<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-76050615668359807022009-04-22T10:29:00.000-04:002009-04-22T10:29:00.000-04:00I like the regroup idea ~ what comes to mind for m...I like the regroup idea ~ what comes to mind for me is "stop and drop" until you regain the energy that has been taken by all that is going on in your life right now. <br />Sounds like your hubby came to your rescue so you could rest...how nice!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-12200356361899160132009-04-21T21:45:00.000-04:002009-04-21T21:45:00.000-04:00I'm trying to learn the ebb and flow of this crazy...I'm trying to learn the ebb and flow of this crazy thing. One of the toughest things to get the hang of is how to NOT overdo things when you come out of a crash. It seems there is so much to be done, it is hard not to do them all at once. So, yes, Jo is right -- pace and rest!Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533995997196611261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-27923437130084758932009-04-21T20:04:00.000-04:002009-04-21T20:04:00.000-04:00Wow Sue, you are going through a lot!

My husband let me sleep in this morning (since I'll be on early-morning duty all week with him gone), so I'm doing OK today. But I will definitely take your advice!<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-47184828376463230852009-04-21T04:31:00.000-04:002009-04-21T04:31:00.000-04:00Take it easy!

With the other things, I like to take the "one day at a time" attitude. If you think about it all at once it IS overwhelming! <br /><br />I've been out of the loop myself for a couple of weeks, but voluntarily so. It was time to move away from the daily obligations for a little while to re-group. <br /><br />Hope you continue to feel better each day.Lori Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808703279193470654noreply@blogger.com
