overload?
Filed under my life by sherriknits at 10:29 pm on Mar 11 2010
I went to the doctor yesterday for a routine check up and to be honest, I am feeling a little bit alarmed. I know there are things I can do, but it’s just a little unnerving. My blood pressure is too high. I am overwhelmed. I know things will fall into place, but somehow I need to get a grip on things. The adjustments we are going through have been a little harder to walk out than I thought they would be and I need to start making some choices to change some things. We talked about exercise…yes, I know it would make me feel better. Trouble is, when? She suggested 5 a.m. Right now it makes me want to scream and cry. I am NOT a morning person. (no lectures, I know that can change). I told her that my need for quiet is making me stay up too late just so I can have some alone time. She said yes, I definitely need some “me” time. It’s funny because I will sometimes start arguing that, it seems I get more away time than most, but I don’t think it’s the kind I need. Lots to think and pray about. I know God has the answer. He isn’t going to leave me hanging here.
Well, what have I been up to?
let’s turn him around….
I put a picture on facebook and within minutes I had a whole string of comments and hints. I don’t have any more angora. I might have enough to make one for both of my little grandbabies, though. Mayah liked it a lot but it’s still in my possession.
Sunday afternoon, I got a text message from Rhianna. She wondered what I was doing. I said nothing much, she told me she had 2 crying children and Kyle was at a meeting. I was up off the couch and on my way out the door. Kenny laughed at how fast that move me. I was thrilled that she needed help and asked me. I love spending time with my kids and was more than happy to play with crying children. Funny how that doesn’t stress me. Kenny was going to load Tyler up and come a little later but they ended up deciding to stay home. I had a most enjoyable time.
This is what I saw when I ran out the door.
I know I’ve shown the same view many times but I never get sick of it. My camera died right after I snapped the picture.
I did happen to have a little picture of my new little sweet pea, though. He’s such a doll.
Life is good, I do know it is. I am sure things will fall into place. I’m grateful for such a great family and understanding from them while I try to get a grip on myself. I am going to investigate getting some little times away from the rat race. I’m not too worried about it, just feel like I’m having a wake-up call.

Exercise at 5:00 AM?! I don’t think so! Listen to your body–I’m sure you’ll find your time and pace.

I had a dr visit yesterday, and he also is on me about exercise. I know I need it, I know it would help me speed up the weight loss that has slowed a bit. But I’m in the same boat…it’s before the girls get up or nothing. I’m going to have to force myself to go to bed when they do and have my “me time” on the treadmill in the morning I guess. That is, AFTER I kick this dumb cold I’ve caught. This morning I’m up at 5 am because I can’t sleep due to the throat pain, and that doesn’t really make me wanna go downstairs and get on a treadmill, ya know!?!

Contrary to what most doctors will tell you, it is very difficult to pray when you are sweating and gasping for breath; it is, however, perfectly appropriate to get off the treadmill and give your thanks that you have survived yet another attempt to become healthy.
Trust me…
PS…Your newest Sweet Pea is ridiculously handsome…Rhianna and Kyle do good work!

5am, no way!
I’m a night owl too and I used to have to be up at 5am to get to work for 8am. I lasted 3 months and ended up with a huge breast infection and was on a double dose of antibiotics for a fortnight, plus going to the breast clinic to make sure it was not cancer.

Early mornings are not for me either. I am sure with lots of thought and prayer you will find the time to exercise. I haven’t but I am sure you will. LOL. I find if I just set a time and stick to it it becomes easier.
You could always come to Oklahoma and visit for a little R&R. And I have that little guy is so adorable. Love the side shot of him.

I love your bunnies!
I’m not an early morning person either. Currently I get my exercise by playing with the kids and then using the Wii Fit at night when kids are in bed.
Take care!

Oh, Sherri, he’s just beautiful! What a sweet baby boy. I’m waiting for a new baby boy any day now. It’s so exciting!
As far as the exercise goes, Sherri, I can definately relate. Think of this…your exercise time can also be your “me” time. When I walk, I love to walk alone, to praise music, to a daily audio bible reading, and sometimes with nothing but my dog and I listening to the sounds of the neighborhood. It can be a very refreshing time physically and spiritually.
