Its so much better to never lose it, than to lose it and get it back--you can always tell the difference. With that said, most people never get it back, so if you get it back after you lost it, thats better than losing it forever.    Report

I can't blame this one on the cats though. Just me hurrying to the grocery store, missing a step and boom, boom, boom down the stairs I went. Luckily, our house gets listed today so we should be out of here soon. It is just NOT a kid friendly house for so many reasons!    Report

LOL.....we've now stretched the word exercise to encompass everything from walking to the busstop, to bending over and taking it up the ***.  I think if you have to walk a mile to get to the bus stop it can be considered exercise.  I've started walking to and from work everyday, which is about 2 1/2 miles each way, but I guess since it's just walking to work it's not exercise.  And if I'm simply bending over, taking it up the a*s, I wouldn't consider that exercise either.

Not because I don't want him, but because I am feeling like the most terrible and neglectful mother in the world right now. My husband had to go to work today and I can't play with Zeke really because of my foot, so he is sitting in his rocker watching Baby Einstein's. I usually despise parents like me who station their kids in front of the TV all day but I don't know what else to do. Ugh - I need to move where we have family to help out!    Report

Or is it Phoenix? I can't remember. I just know you're west of me. LOL But girl, don't even worry about that. You're in a temporary bind. Don't give yourself such a hard time. If you hadn't hurt your foot, you and Zeke would be having a blast...he knows it, you know it, and your husband knows it! I know you still are going to feel guilty, but just know it's temporary. I know how you feel, though. I'm a single parent. As you probably know, my parents are in Japan...I did everything 100% solo. There were days when I was sick...or really busy trying to handle everything, and I felt like my son was neglected. But I always made up for it when I could. How many months is Zeke?    Report

08-23-2006, 4:54 PM handbagaddict Joined on 01-04-2006 Tempe Arizona Rank NA Re: Daily Exercise Aww, thanks, you make me feel better when I am feeling like total sh*t! Zeke is 6 months and one week! I literally was sitting on the steps yesterday, waiting for my husband to get home to rescue us, thinking "What the h*ll was I thinking, that we could do this having a baby thing 3,000 miles away from our family?" Sometimes I feel like such an a** for putting us in this bind. But then I remember that there are people out there everyday who have it so much harder than I do and then I feel like a bigger a** for feeling sorry for myself. But yeah, Phoenix is where we were at. I wish I were in vegas right now. I'd be on the strip drinking myself silly right now! I'm just feeling so frustrated today!    Report

Sometimes I have cracked under  pressure and turned into a complete MONSTER. I'd go OFF on my son, and later feel soooo bad, but the damage had already been done. But in the end, my love for my son FAR outweighs any of my shortcomings as a mother. I know I can't be a perfect mother, but when I have the chance to make up for my "bad" days, I do. And wow...li'l Zeke is only 6 months old! Your situation is temporary!! He'll be walking before long and entertaining himself! By the time he's old enough to hang out at the park, your foot and ankle would have LONG been healed, and you two will be terrorizing the park!! But aww...I feel your pain. Just imagining you and Zeke on the steps waiting for your hubby. Awww. But just remember...your son thought it was the funniest thing...he was laughing when it all happened. So he'll remember it as a fun time...LOL    Report
