I guess my insomnia has went away!
I fell asleep before 11pm last night and slept all day today, well... until 2pm. I am guessing the insomnia I was having has passed. YAY!!
I just cannot wait for Tuesday! I need my Remicade infusion. and I need my new fibro meds too. I have not made it to the pharmacy yet to get my RXs filled. I will drop them by there Sunday or Monday.
I was complaining about how daughter complains about cleaning up the living room and dining room. And my FIL said well... if you set a good example and clean the house yourself, than she will clean the house too. I was like "what the hell?!" Kinda pissed me off, after he was the one who took me to see about the results of my MRIs, and asked what the Dr said. I told him the neurologist told me to limit what causes my lower back to spasm and my legs to shake uncontrollably. I guess he did not hear that part?!
In my house cleaning has a lot to do with bending over, and well... that is the one thing that causes me problems. Never use to, I use to be able to bend over and touch the palms of my hands to the floor, but now that I have this pinched nerve my lower back spasms, and if I bend over more than my fair share my legs will shake uncontrollably. Either way not worth clean the house.
It was all because I took daughter's Nintendo DS from her. I asked her to pick up the living room and dining room, some time last week. It took her over an hour just to pick up the living room. Then she asked if she could go over her friends house, I told her no, because she took too long cleaning the living room and had not even cleaned the dining room. Then she started crying saying I clean and I get nothing in return!
I told her "Well... then... if that is true let me take back MY Nintendo DS! Your grounded from MY Nintendo DS! Now go get it for me!"
Yeah... I sent a lot of money on that darn thing, and she really did not deserve it, in my eyes anyways, when it was bought. Hubby talked me into buying it for her for christmas, last year. He told me I could play it too, so I fell for it.
Yep, life does not ever seem to get any better. And when it does it is short lived. I guess a couple pinched nerves and nerve damage added to your already growing list of problems still does not keep others from thinking you should be able to do house work.
Oh well...
That's awful, I'm sorry! :( We have someone that cleans for us once a week. They don't do windows and go really fast but it's enough for us. :) I cannot IMAGINE trying to clean. I have an aversion for the vacuum cleaner I cannot describe. I can't tolerate loud noises . I could do it without the noise. DH stays at home with the kids and I can't imagine what he'd do if I said that to him! Of course I do harrass him b/c his standards are MUCH lower than mine. When we were dating I remember taking a shower in his apartment and just being so disgusted and trying not to touch anything! Of course he was single then. But he has a pretty high tolerance for dirt. I guess that's good for me!
I hope your daughter can help you some more!! Sounds like she could do without nintendo for a while. :) I HATE video games but they just had a poll out that 97% of kids play video games. So I guess that's one battle I will lose. But I will be strict about it, I'm sure. I just hate the noise (I have noise intolerance--I am turning into my mom) and what drives me even more crazy than video games is people watching people play video games. I am so type A that just watching the multiplication of wasted time makes me crazy. Well not so much that as I get bored so easily I don't see how people can stand to watch other people play. Surely there is something else to do?
I am glad you are over your insomnia!! That would be awful!
I just read that and it sounds like I never clean. That is mostly true. :) But I do wipe down counters every day and that type of thing (esp b/c DH doesn't bother). Okay I am being mean. He is a great stay at home dad. And when we get ants he is the most neurotic counter cleaner ever. It is a seasonal thing here, the ants...they are gone, yay!
