I'...Thanks, Jessa, and lovely to hear from you!<br /><br />I'd never thought of I love Lucy - that's funny! <br /><br />What's helped me so much is this weekend. It's a little embarrassing, but it's now early Sunday evening and I'm still in the same PJs that I was wearing when I woke up...yesterday morning! I can't believe I just admitted that and I don't think it's ever happened before, but I've literally been in jammies allll weekend. I probably stink, too. For the first time in forever we had nothing up yesterday; and Matt and I stayed home from church this morning to watch the Olympic closing ceremonies; and so I've not even left the house...or gotten dressed. I did wash my face and brush my teeth this morning but thankfully, no one popped over today!! I really didn't WANT friends visiting today!<br /><br />ANyway, thanks for the thoughts and the hugs, and I'm sending them back your way now!<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />RuthHi from Ruth!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04696686601621200587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-8942874181737261572014-02-23T12:48:46.540-06:002014-02-23T12:48:46.540-06:00Oh Ruth I totally get it.

When he is home Oz acts out which is understandable but doesn't help. I get it 110%. My biggest tip (or that works for me) is putting on happy music or I watch I love Lucy while making dinner. It's family friendly enough I don't mind Oz overhearing and I feel like I have friends visiting. Big Hugs!

I'm delighted that you chose to share it though. You amaze me so much with all that you handle and subsequently achieve. I'll spare you and keep this comment brief. I wish you an easier start to tomorrow and the strength to work through the challenges that will arise with a bit more peace!<br />-CharityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-54185663990881079402014-02-20T17:33:46.692-06:002014-02-20T17:33:46.692-06:00Thanks for the commiseration, Ellen (is that the r...Thanks for the commiseration, Ellen (is that the right way to use that word?)...I have no doubt you can relate!<br /><br />Hugs coming your way,<br /><br />RuthHi from Ruth!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04696686601621200587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-74371111536972969392014-02-20T16:23:54.051-06:002014-02-20T16:23:54.051-06:00All I can say is I understand.

And we deal with it. As we do when someone else is having one of those days. Give the kids a chance to exercise their gifts of mercy & compassion. Part of life, you know? Take what you need to work through it, and everyone will live. If you liked yourself on these kinds of days, then you should be worried. ;) Anyhows, praying for you. Should've said that the first time - it's the most important part.Mrs Changsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840252521875408953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-60321309339976385982014-02-20T10:53:45.742-06:002014-02-20T10:53:45.742-06:00Thanks C...and I had a few similar ideas.

We watched the last hour of the women's curling-for-gold olympic match and I just shipped the kids outside for a while.<br />I'm doing a little better, but I really don't like these kinds of days - mostly, frankly, it's ME that I don't like so much on these kinds of days.<br />You did give me another great idea, though. Geoff's home tomorrow night, so I think I'm simply going to announce (to him first) that it's dinner out for all of the kids with Dad tomorrow night...and maybe a round of indoor mini golf to follow. That ought to give me 2 or 2.5 hours at home alone.<br />Thanks for the boost, C...it is needed.<br /><br />RuthHi from Ruth!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04696686601621200587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-9806900352618104412014-02-20T10:41:59.325-06:002014-02-20T10:41:59.325-06:00Turn on the Olympics!!!

Thinly disguised as a contest with silly little prizes for all. (I use coupons - movie night, night out with Dad (ha ha), special dinner of one's choosing, etc.) It's designed to give a Mom some extra time in the evening for that treasured time alone. Works for me. ;) Mrs Changsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840252521875408953noreply@blogger.com
