I need advice from all my seasoned Mother friends..
Yesterday Ian got into a jar of Vasline-it was everywhere. That was at the end of a overall difficult day with him-he also told me he doesn't love me, I said "You make Mommy sad" and he said..."Cry Mommy"-oh my goodness, I thought I must have Damien in my house!
In any case, I'm feeling depressed and frustrated because I feel like I have run out of fun things to do with him and lots of the things I try to do like running around the backyard and stuff, I just don't have the energy or overall desire to do.
I know he's bored and I just don't know how to entertain him anymore. So any ideas on fun things to do with a 2 1/2 year old??
Additionally I am just feeling crappy and sore every single day which makes me grouchy and depressed-some days I am certain I must be going to die soon-how could someone live for a long time and feel the way I do?
And only you guys seem to understand how I feel, my husband, Mother and friends just don't seem to get it. I would love for them to feel how I feel just for a few minutes so they would get it.
Also, the 4 mile walk I took the other day actually hurt me so much I couldn't do anything at all for about 4 days-I mean I was so sore it was unbearable. So I feel like I can't even try to exercise or lose weight...
Yes, I am feeling sorry for myself today-sorry!!
Love you guys-J

I had joined the local MOMS Club when I had Will. It was the best thing I ever did. They have playdates at a park or someone's home and it really gave me a chance to relax and chat with the other moms. Each city has a chapter. You can go to MOMS Club International http://www.momsclub.org/ to look up a chapter near you. It may help.
With only have one, I gave Will time to play by himself, so he can learn how. As I can't always entertain him. I would put things out for him to do such as building, trains, drawing etc. You can start off with a small amount of time and then build on that. It does pay off. He's now 5 and will play by himself for awhile I get things done.
I'm sorry you're in pain. RA is a real drag. It is frustrating. Have you tried swimming? That has helped me. Just a thought.
Hope you have a better day today.
Love,

Oh dear, Little Buddy!! You can't let this stinking disease get you down!! - First let me say, Ian does love you!! There's not a mother alive that hasn't heard "I don't love you" or "I hate you". It hurts but remember he's only a baby and that's the only way he can get back at you! ha - Second, you are trying too hard with the exercise!! Try 1/2 of a mile or so. Work up to it. - I'm with you on this hurting all the time. Everyone needs a break now and then. I told my husband that I may just take up drinking! HA Stay positive if you can. There will be a new drug or something. - People look at me and say you don't look sick. Guess I need to wear a sign! HA - I don't like for people to treat me like I have a problem. It makes me feel useless sometimes. - On a happier note, Give Ian a hug and tell him how much everyone loves him! - Have a good weekend!! Take care. Connie

It must be the weather, My RA is actually acting up too! Im taking it easy and My knees are hurting. Not sure what too do. i know stress plays a big part. Maybe Ill move to Hawaii. LOL. You know, I got in an argument with my daughter and it ended with her saying I hate you! I wanted to slap her! I know that the kids can sense when things are stressful for us and when their moms are hurting and they dont know what to do about it. My son also told me Im an agry mom. Im also Having PMS bad! I feel like im a slave to these hormonal swings!!! We know our kids still love us but i of course too felt awful and like the worst mom in the world. Maybe just limit your exercise to short walke and take Ian to the park. The moms group is a great idea or is there a gym close by? I know what saved me is I worked at a lifetime fitness and I could bring my kids to work with me. I also got a free mombership too. This way he could be active with kids get him prepared for preschool and you get a free membership. at the one I worked at I only worked like 12 hrs a week! Just an idea? the exercise bike would maybe be good for the artheritis. Im sorry your in pain! HUGS!!! XOXO.

Okay my love here goes. First off walking 4 miles when you have not built up to it is not a smart thing to have done. I do 3 miles a day but my bosy has built up to it and some days it is still hard. So don't give up on the excercise that would be bad, instead temper it with starting out slow. 10 minutes, 15 minutes and so on. Regarding Ian he is a normal 2 year old. He is bright and curious and yes he loves mommy VERY much, really he does. He is at the age however that he should be able to play and amuse himself. Does he have an art easel? At that age they are budding artists and crayons, and paints keep them amused for hours. Also palydough. Does he have any playdough? You can sit with him and show him how to make theings and again he will have a ball. Sets are pretty inexpensive and worth the money for all the time they consume. Also empty boxes of all sizes. Show him how to stack them and and knock them down. Do you have a card table? Set it up and put a blanket over the top and make Ian his own tent. He can take his toys and his pillow and he will feel really cool having his "own" playhouse. These are just a few ideas, if you want more let me know. It wasn't that long agao ( well maybe it was) that I raised 2 spunky little guys! I am sad you are feeling down. I know you don't feel good and that can get you down, plus the situation with mom I am assuming is not yet resolved? You are a great mother, a terriffic wife and a good daughter too! So look yourself in the mirror and repeat after me .."I'm loreal and I am worth it! " Love you JJ, ((hugs))marcia

well you're having a poopie day, huh? Chin up little chicky - this too shall pass. That Moms' Club sure sounds like a good idea. Your boy needs to get outside and burn off his little kid energy! You SIT in the backyard and let HIM run circles around you. Probably not a good idea to start a walking regimen at 4 miles ... maybe a half mile per day the first week, a mile per day the next and work your way up. Take little Ian in the stroller or go to a park and make it an adventure for both of you. Would probably also benefit you to nap when Ian does. An anti-inflammatory diet will help with weight and feeling better. Hugs to you! Jacque

Hey, I have 3 boys and I've heard it all. If they tell me they don't love me I say tough! You still have to live with me though. Kids figure out quickly how to push our buttons. I hope your weekend went better. 2 yr olds are hard, my youngest is 19 months and he is getting there. It definitely gets easier as they get older. Take care!! April
