View Full Version : Ugh... please make it stop raining and me feel human again...

All week long I have felt uneasy... like something is wrong. Not like a premonition of doom or anything, just like a general feeling of frusteration that I can't get anything done, and just being super tired. I am tired all the time... I am near tears all week long, and it just WON'T STOP RAINING. Yesterday I checked the weather report. We had a morning with no rain... so I got out and mowed the lawn, and put out grass seed, and a few other garden things. I was hoping today would be the same because I want to pick up all of the rocks from the garden pathway and remove all the grass from under them, and then put some pathway shale (it will look like cobblestone when it is done) down... and I get the kids down for nap, get ready to go outside... but it starts raining. So I take a nap with the kids. I wake up and it is POURING. :eyes: I haven't been out of this house at all since Monday and all I did on Monday was go and pick up two disks of Grey's Anatomy from Blockbuster. lol... So honestly I haven't left the house since before Easter. Omg... how sad.

Just tired. I am not really depressed, because I am trying to get stuff done, so obviously I still have motivation... this is more of a bordom and frusteration. And loneliness. Don will be home tomorrow. Thank god. But the report calls for more rain this weekend. LOTS more. Showers all day Friday and Saturday.

Blech... Just make it stop raining. Isn't there somewhere the rain is needed? lol!

This spring is really killing me. It's been in the 40s and raining for nearly 2 weeks, and we are usually in the 60-70s with at least several sunny days a week by now. I barely make it through winter, now it won't loosen it's grip.


Anyway- I can relate.

I hear you. We just got about eight inches and will probably get a foot before it's done. Then we'll get dumped on again Sunday/Monday, either snow or rain. Right now I'd be thrilled if it was a wicked thunderstorm with torrential rains because at least it would melt the snow. :rolleyes: We have had such an awful spring.

Sigh.

oh, I feel it too. I can't go out of the house because of my immune system. The chemo treatment I got on Tuesday puts a big toll on my immune system and I have to avoid people and crowds for 72 hours.

Then, I have just been feeling tired- part of the side effects. We have been having windy cold weather too so we haven't gotten outside much.

I just wish spring would come and I would get my health back.

PS for those of you that don't know, I had spots show up in my last chest x-ray so I am going through chemo again for that. It's rough but God is good and the outlook is very positive. It just may take a while for me to regain my health.

:ditto:

I'm in a MAJOR funk, in a major way. Super stressed about the move (they moved our closing date up - thank goodness - so we're moving a week from today) and just - ick, yk? Bad outlook on life atm.

This may lift your spirits...

I know EXACTLY what I want to do for our garden/chicken area, even walked Eddie out there and showed him where I want everything. ITs all agree'd upon and he's in on doing all the loads from HomeDepot or wherever. Its driving me crazy that we can't start right NOW becuase the kids keep puking :P Isn't that funny?! Me, Sarah, I am sitting here obsessing about how much I want to go buy truck loads of garden supplies :)

Yes I know I'm a silly.

I have been cranky this week too because of Wednesday's snow and the chilly weather. I worked at my 6 hour a week job that day and you should have heard all of us moms complaining.

Tawnya, your post outs my crabbiness over the weather in perspective. You have my prayers for you and your family.

Tawnya, you are in my thoughts. :hug: That sounds hard. Take good care of yourself!

I know, the South is having these droughts and up here we're drowning in precipitation.

Oh I just found out we're due for two freaking FEET of snow Sunday/Monday. It's a massive, hellish Nor'easter. GREAT!

Tawnya, {{{:hug:}}}

Sarah.... yep. Cyan and I have been planning our garden for three days. Yesterday, during that 20 minutes it was only drizzling, we were out there... until Logan got wet. That was the end of that. lol... then I put Cyan in front of the Letter Factory (yep... that finally came!) and Logan inside with her and I CLEANED OUR GUTTERS! lol.... Am I crazy? Yep. Standing on the recycle bin, with a garden shovel in rain boots, covered in sludge from the nipples down. It was worse than what was in Alex's fish tank the other day. BLECH! But it had to be done... I was getting soaked every time I walked to my car because they were overflowing with gunk.

We are a great team. 'Silly' and 'Totally Nuts'. ;)

Oh, Tawnya. I am just so sorry. I am thinking of you. Do you need anything?
