Trying to COntribute

Posted , 1 user is following.

I have been doing the laundry as my contribution as it takes not much work as I can sit AND fold it and then everyone puts it away. It is shocking how many clothes a family of 4, 18 birds, peekingese and a Saint Bernard goes through in a week. I got 3 loads done since SUnday . Everytime I stand I hurt. I am suppose to be moving soon in the next few weeks. I am not looking forward to it at all. There is always a fight  as everyone over works, gets tired and hurts  I am not exactly happy with the place but renting homes is becoming something that people don't do . We are going from a 3,000 square home , to a 1200 square home. My livingroom is being made in the single garage. I have a couch,love seat, and 3 recliners and then the tables in my living room. I have this very small living room that bird cages must fill and the tiny dining room. This rent to own trend has taken over, they was 20plus thousand dollars down that is more than just buying. I for one am not ready to buy .

On top of it I have to give up my Saint Bernard ,this is my protection. My family memeber . I hate this house.

      Thank you , Christine. It will be easier once the move is done and over. I think that yes , I have been over soing things , I definitely feel it . My strongest character is responsibility therefore I push myself when I am committted. My husband thinks that I am better because I am moving more. I am waiting to either fall or become paralyzed my 3 fingers on my left hand going up to my neck and down my entire back to my left leg is nothing pain and muscle spasm, it reminds me of either that jerk when you get in a car accident or when you become an older adult riding one of the fair rides that you forgot that you didn't like when you were a teenager the constsnt jerking. Never Releasing. I love the Twitching , freaked me out at first.

      I just hate those painfull muscle spasms....bit to the spread and hurt....sooo hard for me to get out of them sometimes..take it easy...be good to you...people sometims whatch what  we make ourself do and think we are ok..unfortunately as encouraging to us as they try to be..it really doesn't  help...they  will never know our pain etc..unless they suffer the same.its just too hard for them to comprehend, as well meaning as they are to be empathetic....but it's that aftermath..so try to ease up a bit, pace yourself.. and be blessed..have a lovely day duagnosisalie...:-) xx
