Tina/getting kids to school

[Guest guest]

Hi Tina - I think it's amazing that you are managing all that you are with

your husband being disabled and you having to handle the kids in the

morning, especially walking the youngest to school. Is there anyone you

could call on to help with getting the youngest to school? Is there a

friend from the same school who could pick them up? Does your town/city

offer any kind of ride assistance for the disabled? Possibly providing a

ride for your youngest might be covered in this. Or maybe there is a

neighbor or church member you would trust most?

It would just be one way to cut down a little bit on your stress. Don't be

too proud to ask for help. OK, that's all for now. Hope you are doing OK

today.

> the third stroke, believe me every thought of

being a single parent at 42, not working and in the pain that I am in

scared the life out of me. Thank god my husband made it, he is now disabled

but, he is alive. Everyday when I get up I am in alot of pain but, I have to

get the three older girls up and off to school (they take a bus) and then

get the youngest up and get her ready and

walk her to school (our car is broke down right now)by the time I get home

I am in tears because my hips, shoulder and lower back are totally in flamed

but, then I have to get my husband up check his sugar make sure he takes his

meds. and then I die for awhile meaning either toss and turnon the couch or

in the computer chair or try and lay down but that usually doesn't work do

to the rls and the insomnia on top of the fibro pains.
