Chores

[Guest guest]

I try to grocery shop at 6 am or midnight...times when very few are there. I

swear, one of these days they're going to carry me out of there kicking and

screaming my head off. If something really rude is done to me, I speak up. Years

ago, I would have bitten my tongue. This Lyme rage has it's good points. Rita

I had to break down today and go to the grocery store. Yup. It was

called having no food. So as much as my legs were burning and my

shoulders were burning and my wrists ached, I went.

I've always hated grocery shopping. I despise it now. I also have

found that my " irritation level " is severely heightened. The pain

also got worse the longer I was there b/c I was lifting stuff off

the shelves and pushing the cart, unloading the cart, unloading the

bags into the car.

OMG, then I had to unload the car, take the stuff out and put it

away.

Let's just say that now I'm really hurting. Now the whole purpose

was to get food b/c I was out of food and needed to eat. I was so

hurting and so tired that it was screw eating! I'm to tired to make

anything.

I hate Lyme. I'm sure it didn't help having to chelate prior to all

of this either. Chelating wipes me out.

My house is a mess. I hate that too. I try to do a little bit here

and there. But it never looks like anything gets done. Damn. I can't

get out a straight sentence. This is taking me forever. I have to

stop.

My son is 19 we pay him $20 every two weeks for emptying the dish washer and all the trash from each room. This gives him some spending money and it is also teaching him responsibility. There are some other things his dad expects for him to do too, to help out.If he complains I tell him we are a family and family help each other. The younger you start them out helping I think the better. The money helps to keep him motivated. Doing chores helps them feel better about themselves, they may not think this now, but later in life they will understand it. pj

Also, my son would do almost any chore to avoid being dragged along on a 'family' fishing trip. ;-)
