Blessed and Cursed and exhausted

I am truly fortunate that I get to be as active as I am. I know how many of you struggle to do things daily. However, husband does not truly comprehend how exhausted I get until I am so tired I am can't move. Then he gets it...but by then I am taking a whole day to recover. It's been a busy 8 days - work & party at neighbors, baking for 100 vets then supporting a local band, spring cleaning and yard cleanup, work & accounting for our club, work & volunteer night, work & volunteer cooking night, work, and today is work and volunteer bartend a convention gathering. I really wanted to go to a Celtic festival this weekend----we have festivals every weekend in our few months of nice weather here. I just don't know if I can keep up this pace with husband signing us up for things. I think I am catching a cold. And dear husband is just enjoying the ride.....please let me sleep on Sunday!

Whining done.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'm tired reading that too. Maybe there's a way to at least work in a nap. I always hate restricting my schedule when I don't feel good, so sometimes I compromise by only doing some thing for an hour and resting the rest of the day, or something like that.

Got exhausted too from reading. Don't overwork youself or as you know this will have a toll on your Crohn's. Just be selective and do only what you can do. For me, this puts some people off but my health is number 1 priority. Explain to your husband several times that you can't tolerate this effort and hopefully he eventually understands.

Gumby...hahahaha....nice call. But on this one time, I can say it is my husband pushing the bounds. I tend to give up my things when I get worn, but stick with his things. These last two weeks I was stubborn and still did my things....but I was not stubborn enough to say no to his things. Sunday I got to finally rest and I did just what I wanted. I don't plan on helping with his bar manager duties tonight.

I went back to my old way to get things done without wearing myself out.....series TV marathon of NCIS. On the commercials, I would empty some of the dishwasher or put a load in the clothes washer...and I didn't get up at every commercial. I have dentist and doctors appointments on Wednesday so I took the rest of the week off after them....I will putter some, but rest some more.

Thanks guys!

Aww, I'm sorry. I hope you find some time for yourself this weekend, especially since it's expected that people be busy. There must be a nice block of time for just... doing nothing!
