Boredom has officially set in at my house. Here I am with no kids, no husband, no babysitting…nothing and I am BORED…bored out of my mind right now. I can’t do housework, I can’t go anywhere, I’m stuck at home watching TV, and doing my exercising. And ya know what is even worse…I WOULD LOVE to have days like this when all the hustle and bustle is happening in my life, and now that I have them…I don’t know what to do with them. Oh the joys of life…can’t win them all, huh?

The kids are back to school full time. Nothing too exciting to report on that end. They got their report cards when I was in the hospital. Straight A’s & B’s across the board…mostly A’s. I’ve got two smart little cookies on my hands, and I couldn’t be prouder! They both enjoy school a lot…and love their teachers. We had Parent/Teacher Conferences last week, and both teachers had nothing but good to say about them…talk about a proud parent moment! :icon_smile: They are both doing quite well in school and with their behavior at school.

Shawn’s been busy at work, trying to get the Christmas lights up as he can, but it seems that every day off he has it’s raining…but we’re hoping this Saturday will be his day, it’s supposed to be a bit cold, but at least no rain…crossing fingers!

I think my computer is in major need of a check up. It’s been so sluggish, and just moving from program to program becomes quite a chore. I think my hard drive needs cleaned off, or something. It’s quite annoying actually. Guess that can be something I can do to pass the time, huh? LOL

Congratulations to Helio & Julianne on winning Dancing with the Stars last night! I was happy if either couple won, but the look of excitement on Julianne being a two time champ was awesome! I’m very glad that they won! Guess it’s time to change my survey now…guess we’ll be doing the Survivor thing now, huh?

Well…I wish you all a very blessed day. Thanks for being so patient with me, even though I haven’t been out visiting…there are several of you who come by religiously and I appreciate it so very much!

…until we blog again…

Yesterday I think I had the toughest therapy session that I ever had. I think that Physical Therapy should be renamed to Pure Torture! Yikes! But, all in all it was worth it…and I have much more flexion of my knee than I did before. Not as much as I want to, but every day is getting better and better, thank goodness!

After therapy yesterday, Shawn & I went to buy our Christmas tree. We went with an artificial tree this year, as we figure with carpeting now, it’s much more feasible. We got a beautiful 7.5 foot tree from K-mart yesterday. With the lights already on it. It’s not 100% decorated yet, but as soon as it is, I’ll get a picture of it to share with everyone.

Today is my first official day all by myself…and it’s not even 8:30 and I’m bored out of my mind. :icon_surprised: I got up and showered before Shawn left for work, and I can live on my one floor for the whole day…but still, no one to talk to…no where to go…boring! Guess I’ll be doing a lot of sleeping, huh? LOL When I’m babysitting again, and don’t have enough hours in the day I’ll be dying for a day to myself, and now that I have one, I don’t want it. Oh well, can’t win them all, huh? Guess it’s a good day to balance my checking account…you know, fun stuff like that! LOL

Have a blessed day everyone! I’m going to do some stretching exercises now.

…until we blog again…

I am getting so frustrated with how I feel, it’s not even funny. I am not feeling any better, not in the least, and my “help” is done on Monday, and I’m alone with me and the kids starting Tuesday. I am trying so hard…and I don’t know what more I possibly can do, but my leg just will not bend more than I can get it to bend. Which isn’t even 90 degrees yet! I was holding it straight up in the air with Shawn supporting it under my knee and he said just let it go…just let gravity take over, and it will bend…but guess what? It doesn’t. And it’s frustrating the heck out of me that I am not able to bend my leg more than I am able to bend it, because this is what is keeping me from moving on. I feel like I’m at a brick wall, and cannot get past it…at all! :banghead:

I attempted another outing yesterday…no not shopping. My sister-in-law called me at 5:30 a.m. to tell me what deals she was finding only to find out that people were getting knocked over in the stores, and I couldn’t risk that, so I sent my sister out later in the day with my debit card, and she did a little bit of shopping for me. Not much…but at least it’s started now. But later on after the rushes were gone, we (my sister, the kids & I) went to lunch and then to see Enchanted. Awesome movie by the way. But after sitting in the movie theater uncomfortable for a couple of hours I was thoroughly exhausted and very ready for a nice long nap. I did go out without any pain meds, as I didn’t want to fall asleep during the movie…so I’m not sure if that was a good thing or not on my part. But it was very tiring, and I was very happy to come home at the end of the day.

Plus my kids…oh man. They just DO NOT want to help me…not in the least. It’s a constant fight until we’re all yelling and screaming at each other before I can get anything accomplished around here. They do not want to help me…not in the least. I am still walking 100% with my walker, using both hands for support…but I cannot do much of anything else because I need to support myself. Today has been nothing but a big huge fight between me and the kids, themselves, my mom…everyone! It’s driving me insane!

So…as you can see, I am not doing well, not physically, nor emotionally at all. I’m frustrated, irritated, and just down right mad pretty much all of the time. I have major cabin fever, I’m tired of relying on everyone else to help me…getting no help at home from my kids, and scared to death of what is going to happen once I have to do this on my own come Tuesday. I just don’t know what to do. Part of me wishes that I was sent to a rehab hospital after surgery to help me…because at least there I wouldn’t have to rely on my family for everything…those people are paid to help me. Don’t get me wrong…my mom and sister have been a HUGE GREAT help to me…it’s my family that I’m having the problems with…big time!

Well, enough of my rant…I’m depressed enough, there is no reason to get everyone else depressed. But I wanted to check in and tell you what was going on with me…and I’m very behind in my PU2B posts…so I’m trying to get caught up on some of those too…so maybe later in the week when I feel more up to it we can go look at Christmas lights at the luxury homes…that’s always a big time favorite thing of mine to do at Christmas time. :icon_smile:

Have a blessed weekend everyone!
