I took the tree down. It was really dry.
The room looks so much bigger now, will have to de clutter.
Ann dropped by. She got a bunch of fabric from Quilt Therapy for 50% off. We are figuring on using some of it for quilt tops and backing. QT is going out of business. They are having a sale. She will turn in her receipts.
I moved the furniture around in the bedroom. Bruce was complaining of a draft. It is not as big this way. Will see how it works.
It is so cold here I do not even want to go out.
Thursday - Had a crying melt down yesterday but am better today. I think it just builds up and I can't hold it in any more. I had to change the sheets down to the mattress pad and then the zip on mattress pad. I was sobbing on the floor on my knees, couldn't get the zipper into place, it took me 15 min. I suppose I should spend more time on my knees. I wanted to go to the quilt groups New Year sew in and talk and listen and eat. Maybe next year. Bruce needed the car, Andrew had the other car. I think it might have been Christmas stress too. Ann said I should have called for a ride. I just couldn't stop crying.
No I don't want to take any pills, I don't want to deal with the side effects.
Have to go grocery shopping and take stuff to DI.
I set some goals and hope I can do them for at least a month.
Friday - Andrew had the day off today. I went to Ann's house and we used her design wall to put a twin quilt together. It is looking really nice. It was good to get out for awhile.
My goals for the New year: in alphabetical order...
Emotional: learn to be grateful, say thank - you
Family: read scriptures together, pray with/for family, be nice to Bruce (he says I snap at him, Duncan says I am grumpy)
Physical: drink more H2O, take vitamins, exercise, no food after 7pm, desserts twice a week, go to be earlier or take a nap
Service: make baby quilts to donate
Social: quilt group, UFO, volunteer at school
Spiritual: pray daily, read scriptures, do indexing
Bruce did really well with his day back in the pool on Wednesday. He stood up, and pushed off from the sides of the pool.
On Friday he was able to stand, squat pull himself up from his chair. Not to straight standing, but he was up. He is getting stronger. And he did it the first time.

Those sound like good goals to me. :0) I'm rooting for you, mom.
Congratz to dad for his leg work!
It sounds like maybe you need a day off. No one can do all that you are doing day after day without a break. I hope you remember that you have needs, too, and that your family remembers. It doesn't mean anything that you had the meltdown, except that you are stressed. Pills can't fix that, only mask it. You need a quilt retreat for three days where you aren't responsible for anyone but you. Then you can dive back in. =)
