rough day

[Guest guest]

Tara,

You've already gotten a ton of great responses, so your not alone in those bad days! Me included!!!! One day at a time, tomorrow will be a better day. Great advice to laugh it off, what more can you do?! Loved that movie Overboard, I still get a good laugh everytime I see it! On your jerk ped, I think he more than likely was speechless since he was eating a big slice of humble pie- he obviously didn't think you were doing it, then after he comments on how things are shaping up nicely, he finds out why! Hopefully his ego survived and he learned a good lesson about band/helmet therapy. Chalk that up to a good point in your day, you have probably helped the next patient get a little bit of a different attitude from that Doc Hang in there- tell Dad or a good babysitter you need some alone time!

I just wanted to tell you everyone has days like that. I know I do. I have 3 and am a stay at home mom. my oldest in kindergarten. My 3 year old is into everything and Jenna is now not only a sprinter (forget walking)she has discovered the art of climbing onto our kitchen chairs. Then you guessed it, 2 minutes later she was proudly standing on our kitchen table with a big cheesy grin. She sure was proud of herself. Gates no longer stop this gal. She has freedom to go up and down the stairs. We have a 2 story. So as I chase her, my 3 year old squirts head and shoulders all over our carpeted master bathroom.

After me crying, Tyler(3 year old) getting sent to his room, and Jenna going down for her nap, I had to laugh. I think so I wouldn't cry more. I called my friend and we shared our bad days. It helped just to talk to someone about it. It helped me to know other moms felt the same way at times.

I do think the doctor could have said a bit more. Jenna's doctor was pretty much the same way.

Try to take a nice warm bath when goes to bed. It always helps to relax me. If I do it when the kids are still up, I can hear them wanting mom and I just can't relax. You are a wonderful mom and everyone deserves a break!

rough day

I just need to gripe... please feel free to delete this and move on! ;)We went to the dr. for 's 9 month well visit today, and the nurse didnot even comment on his helmet. Not one word. By the time we saw thedoctor, was already stripped down to his diaper, so he didn't see it.He looked at his head and said, "Well, this looks a little better." We thenshowed him the helmet and he said something to the effect of, "Oh, so youdecided to go ahead with that." Just in a very "oh, okay!" kind of voice.He asked how he has adjusted to it, and that's it. Nothing else. I kind ofthought he'd ask more about the treatment and where we're going, whatever.Nada. Does that strike anyone else as being weird?Anyway, I've just been crabby for about a week now and now has a coldand I just don't want to be a mom today! I'm not sick of him, necessarily,I just am sick of taking care of him. There are just *no* mental breaks!My mom was appalled that I feel this way. I said, "Oh, come on, you meanyou never felt this way when we were little?" She laughed and said, "Oh, Iprobably did, but I didn't tell anyone!" Nice. Thanks for making me feellike a wonderful parent.He's also teething and just bit me and I yelped and he got scared andstarting bawling. Now he's upstairs, trying to take a nap, but he's justtalking to Lambee and his aquarium. (Which is fine by me, but he needs tosleep!!) I just want to curl in a ball and cry all afternoon. Or go backto work! The weather's crappy, so I can't take him for a walk. I couldprobably use some stuff from Target, but I just *don't* feel like packinghim up and going on an "outing." Aaaaaaugggghhhhhh!!!!!!!Thanks for letting me vent -- I'm gonna go stare at a wall now. ~TaraMom to , 9 monthslocal helmet - 5/6/03IndianaFor more plagio info

Oh Tara:Cheer up hunny!! I know I know, easier said than done. I've been where you are today, and I'm sure your mom felt like you are feeling now...just like how when I'd complain about Abby & her lovely terrible 2 tantrums for a long miserable year and my mom's reply "you girls NEVER did that"..oh come on already!!! Puhlease, what short memories our parents have huh??!!! Really, things will get better. Your feelings are totally normal and ok! Esp. being a stay at home mom. I tell ya, I give EVERY SAHM an enormous amount of credit..I work 3 days a week and some days I cannot wait to get back into the office, just for a break and some adult companionship!

Sorry about your ped too How frustrating, but take him w/a grain of salt...loser!

Hugs to you - cheer up!!

Hi Tara, I have sooooo been there with ya girl! That Oprah episode where people talk about how hard it really is to be a mommy sparked a fight between my mom and I. She said that she had NEVER been overwhelmed by me as a baby! I think she has "blocked it out". My baby is 14 months old and my husband and I have been alone together 3 times! What makes this really sad is that my mom only lives 15 minutes away. She will babysit 2 days a week while I work (I pay her) but will not for me to have fun like to get a haircut or anything. She thinks that you should be with your kids all of the time (they were hippies when I was little). I need a break too! It doesn't help when tons of your free time are spent running to physical therapy and band adjustments, huh?

Take a deep breath....you're not alone!

Tara,

My, my, my. Don't take this the wrong way, but I got a good chuckle out of

your message. I just makes me feel like I'm not the only one. I might even

forward your message to my husband so he can see that it is normal for moms

to feel this way sometimes.

Here's why I chuckled...Have you ever seen the movie " Overboard " with Kurt

and Goldie Hawn? If not, go rent it tonight - it might make you

feel better. There is a scene in there where she has just had it with

housekeeping and kids (I won't tell too much and ruin the movie for anyone

who hasn't seen it) and she's sitting in a chair going " buh buh buh buh buh

buh buh " and the kids are throwing grapes at her. They're saying " she needs

food " . Kurt walks in and sees what's happening and decides that she

needs a night out and away from the house and kids. I've seen the movie a

hundred times and that seen still cracks me up. Now, when I'm having days

like that, when my husband walks in the door from work, all I have to do is

say " buh buh buh buh " and he knows what I'm feeling. Ok, enough rambling.

Hang in there.

I forgot about that scene from Overboard - so true though! I work

part time, and I definitely think the days at home are often harder

than those at work! Try to get out for a little while by yourself

if you can, even if it's just to the grocery store! And know that

we've all been there (even if our own moms deny it!)

Tara,

I don't get a chance to respond to many emails on this board, but I

did want to respond to yours! Don't worry, hon! You are a

completely normal, loving mama who needs a break! LOL! I have been

there before, and still visit that " state " at times! I remember when

my 3rd was born... I had a newborn, a 14 mo. old, and a 27 mo. old!

All 3 were in diapers. And finances were so tight, that all 3 were

in cloth diapers at that! I remember times when all 3 would be

crying and I would just join right in with them. It didn't help that

I had pretty bad post-partum depression also. I remember that when

you feel overwhelmed already, sometimes it just takes one thing (like

your appointment with the pediatrician) to send you right over the

edge.

Things are much better now. My kiddos are 5, 4, 3, and 8 mo. I

homeschool them, and we plan on doing it through their high school

years. The only thing that keeps me sane when I think about how this

is how life is going to be for a LONG time is BREAKS! My dh (and I

really want to emphasize the DEAR husband) makes sure that I get

breaks. And it helps!!! Twice a year he sends me off to a hotel for

a long weekend by myself. This really revives me. And inbetween, he

watches the children so that I can go to coffee with a friend, browse

in a bookstore, etc.

Do you think your dh would be willing to give you a little break? It

helps so much to put things back into perspective and to feel revived

in your role as a mommy.

In the meantime, we're here for you!!

God Bless,

in KY

Thank goodness we can all admit that we have our bad days - they are

not all a walk through the roses! We have " meltdowns " at our house

frequently. Especially in the evenings when everyone is getting

tired, I'm busy trying to start dinner, plan for the next day, etc,

etc. It's tough sometimes! Hang in there!!!

As for your goofy dr - don't feel like you're alone. I took

in for an ear infection last week. We had to see our ped's partner,

so I thought I might talk to her a bit about his band, plagio, etc.

Well, she comes in the room with an intern following. He was all

excited to see a banded baby for the first time - said he had just

read an article about plagio and the benefits of banding. So I'm

thinking - " hey this is good " . Then the ped cuts him off and

says, " Oh - it's nothing that's gonna kill them. " Referring to babies

w/plagio. Urghhhh. I didn't say much then, but later I thought I

should've said, " yea - but I bet if you broke your arm, it wouldn't

kill you, but you'd still have something done about it! " AHHHHH! I'm

going to have a more in-depth talk w/our ped at the boys' 1 yr appt

next month. I think that comment was completely rude and uncalled for!

Smile - we all have our rough days! Hope yours is getting better now!

I don't remember the movie Gail talked about - I'll have to rent that

one, too!!

Hang in there! I talked to docs who didn't think the plagio was any

big deal either, meanwhile my kid's face could turn out crooked.

People are just weird.

We all get totally exhausted some time. I remember being very

depressed when I came home from the hospital with my first child and

it hit me that there were no weekends, no evenings off. It's like

having a job you love, but you never ever leave the office.

I'm crazy about my kids, they have given my life so much meaning, but

I'd never tell anyone that it is a bed of roses every day. Just

remember to take care of you. We are all better mommies when we get

some time to ourselves.

Take care,

Kerry

and feel like they are going to give out, have awful fatique, and

brochitis symptoms are coming back again. Wish it was the 20th so I

could see the rhuemy I really want to talk to him in person. I want

off the mtx don't feel it helping and I really feel it is contributing

to the bronchitis I keep on getting. Just thought I would post real

Lynn,

When are you getting your implants taken out? I can only pray that once removed and your body is healed.... You will have a child.... God Bless You and you are in my prayers.

Rogene,

I have never had Bison, the idea of eating it scares me. Does it look

and smell like hamburger?

Yep, Buffalo is singular, Bison is plural. Kinda like mouse and mice.

Hi Katy,

Thank you for the good news!! Did your mom happen to say how long it

took to start feeling better?

I have had three surgeries for the endometriosis and I agree that the

surgery has been much easier on my body than the drug!! Lupron is

horrible!! Should be banned!

Again, thanks for sharing.

Katy,

You have such a positive energy. Especially with how sick you have

been. I am so sorry to hear you have come down with a bug. I try to

stay away from anybody who is sick at work because I know if I get

sick it will only multiply my anxiety.

I am trying my hardest to stay positive here. I know my surgery is in

sight (only 12 days away). Right now God, this board and my sugery

are my saving grace.

I can relate to stress of coming up with the money for surgery. We

spliting it out of three credit cards. Two w/ no interest until

December 07. It was the best we could do.

You take care of yourself and I hope you feel better soon. I pray

that you find a doctor who will agree to do the explant w/ en bloc.

Hugs,

Lynn

Lynn, You know what, I am seeing my mom today so I will get some more details from her! She basically received exactly the same treatment protocol as you did. I will find out is she has any special tips for feeling better faster! Katy:)spinkscl <spinkscl@...> wrote: Hi Katy,Thank you for the good news!!

Thank you so much Patty. I am so lucky to have this board and

cherish the advice you all give me. All of the e-mails and support I

have received have helped mental state this weekend.

My am heading to Church soon, so have to make this short.

God Bless each and every one of you,

Lynn

Dear Patty, Thank you so much for your uplifting email! It was exactly what I needed to read at this time. I am going to save it so I can re-read it when I am feeling a bit defeated. I am so very grateful for this group every single day! xo Katy:)glory2glory1401 <glory2glory1401@...> wrote: Dear Lynn ( & and Katy),Lynn, I can so relate to your sadness and feeling of despair about your

health. I remember how I felt when I got sick from my implants, and it was a horrible feeling. I felt so lost.I just want you to know that even though things seem so bleak and that physically you are at your lowest point, you can have hope for your future because you have options. You know that you need to get your implants out, and you are working toward that point. That will be huge. Once those toxic bombs are removed, then you can work on the healing that needs to be done. And there are many things you can do to begin healing. It will be a process for sure, but you can get better!YOu can have hope because so many of us have been where you are now, and we have a life again...and not only our life back, but for alot of us, it's life BETTER. I believe that my experience made me a much better person..... we have to find the silver lining. We have to grow from this experience.I believe you can get

better, that you can have a baby someday (We have had members have babies after explant and healing!) and that you will be stronger for what you have experienced. It's not an easy road, but you will learn so much as you travel this path of renewal.We're here for you! We may not always have all the answers, or all the right answers, but we have had enough experience in recovery and seeing others recover that I think we can say we know we are headed in the right direction. You can grab this bull by the horns and tame it, and make your life wonderful again. Have faith!God bless,Patty> Hi all,> > Just having a really bad day.
