Monday blahs

Well, it is Monday. But it is not a typical Monday in that Missie started throwing up at 6 a.m. this morning. She has been throwing up all day. She is so weak and trembly. I am hoping she will keep down a few sips of tea she drank earlier. We just hope and pray Preston doesn't get this; he usually has to go to ER once he gets started throwing up. I pray God will protect him from this stomach flu.

Well, yesterday was a very down day for me. I was sooo tired and went back to bed after I ate breakfast and slept until 1 p.m. Jr. got dinner and took care of Preston. I ached all day all over. I think it was because I helped clean an office on Sat. I was offered a cleaning job at this huge office. We needed the money so badly and Missie was going to help me and I was going to pay her and she was so excited about making some money. But physically I am unable to do it. I sure wish I was like I used to be before this fibromyalgia hit me. I love cleaning and used to clean houses before my children were born. But I don't know what I was thinking because I cannot even clean my own house all in one day like I used too. But I wanted to try this so bad. But I have had to give up the idea. Life will go on without the job. Jr. can get a little overtime again which will help us. Anyhow, I ached from head to toe yesterday and my left arm was going numb and my hand also. It finally dawned on me in church last night that I cannot do this job, no matter how much I want to. I know, my skull is thick sometimes. My mom already had told me she didn't think I was able to do it. How is it that moms always know best?

On a lighter note, my brother is to bring my mom and stepdad down to see us~~~~but I told him I am not getting my hopes up until I know they have left Canada. It has been years literally since any of my family have been to see me. So we will see if it materializes. It is about a 20 hr. trip and will be hard on my mom and stepdad. I wish they could fly and rent a car. But we will see what happens. If it doesn't work out for them to come, they will pay for Missie and I to fly up. I actually get more relaxation if I go up there; it gives me a much needed break. But I would love for them to see our home, etc. I hope they can be here over a Sunday, but I am not sure they will be. I would love for them to get to go to our church.

Gotta clean up the kitchen. My helper is sleeping at the moment; but that is good. I just hope she won't throw up anymore tonight.
