with
- this constant sinus headache
- my footy team
- feeling tired and off colour all the time. For two months. WTF?
- getting exhausted by stupidly small amounts of exercise ( a 5km walk? taking Noddie to the pool? F#$% that for a joke)
- Noddie's cheek and defiance. We're going to have to have another family meeting. Sigh.
- Noddie's incessant coughing (oh come on, you knew I was a bad mother)
- Lance Armstrong
- broken sleep from getting up to Noddie two or three times a night.
- Noddie coughing herself to vomiting point every night, poor little bugger
- changing sheets at 3 am
- feeling disappointed that My Year Off Uni (aka the Year I did All Sorts of Cool Things) has turned out like this
- worrying I won't be able to do the Bay Ride, and having to decide whether I'll do it by next Wednesday because that's the last day for refunds
- my flabby bloated waist
- 'resting' when it seems to be doing F#$% all good.
- feeling undisciplined and greedy and lazy
- my own tiresome whingeing
Thanks for listening and not sending me a big can of HTFU and a spoon (unless you think I need some. Then go right ahead). Think of it as giving the Spousal Unit a break.
The other day I heard Noddie tell her swimming teacher I can't do it, it's too hard. I was horrified - it's just Not the Sort of Thing We Say here at Schloss LBTEPA . Stop laughing! Afterward we had A Talk about what to do when something is difficult and you feel discouraged. She has been practising saying it's hard, but I'll keep trying.
Better set a good example, hadn't I?
On a brighter note, I like my new job so much I'd almost do it for free.

love the t-shirt! of course you are fed up. who wouldn't be??? I think you should LTFU (that would be "lighten) and give yourself a break. At least try not to worry about next week until it gets here. cuz you know what worrying gets you, right? Nada. It just sucks the joy out of today. As a Professional Worrier, I know what I'm talking about.
Try to stay in the present moment. That's my new mantra! I'm not sure how it's going to prepare me for my race on sunday (see? I just broke my own rule!)
anyway, i hope you feel better soon sweetie. This has been a long slog for you. :(
I think you're definitely setting a good example.
It's hard some times to know when you should be pushing yourself and when you should be pulling back. Hope you're feeling better soon.
You are busy, busy, busy! That sleep thing will do it right there. Kids teach us how much sleep, almost exactly, we can get by on :-)
Hang in the LBTEPA!!
Oh dear, life does suck lemons at times doesn't it??
I would be pi$$ed off too, but we do need to find ways to deal with it otherwise we go crazy and do something rash.
At least the job is going well - for most people (me included) work sucks and that is a huuuge chunk of time in a week to feel like crap!!
Keep at it, take your own words of wisdom, and repeat after me/ Noddie "it's hard, but I'll keep trying"
Or you could just bury your head in the sand .... !!!!!
Bottom line - the choice is yours and yours alone......
EatEm
(Sorry - was I supposed to say sonmething supportive - bugger)
Glad the new job is going well.
The lurgy just won't leave chez LBTEPA, will it? Persistent bugger.
Low energy maybe check your diet or maybe it's just stress? Are you sleeping okay?
The stars will all align soon...the job first...next will be the bay ride.
No comment, just a big *hug* for you
blah blah blah...
the point is, are we doing lunch in october?
