I found myself in a situation between two family members that are at odds with each other. One via phone call, one via email. Neither knew either had contacted me. Thanks to this CBT and every thing I have learned my responses to both people were similar but fitting for each of their personalities and kept me uninvolved. One replied to me, that I was unique. I'll take that as a compliment. Which led me to thinking, what makes us unique? Which led to this post. Each of us are unique in our own way. We all have talents, hobbies, something we are good at, that we can be proud of. I can sew, garden, bake, cook (except beef rouladen, I failed that one ), and get creative in many different ways such as diy projects just to list a few. We all need to be proud of what makes us unique.
Compromise to me is similar but better than conditions. As if someone would say to me, yes, but, and a condition follows. I'm not good with yes, but. Compromise works out well in most cases.
Today I cleaned out two closets and threw away 3 large totes of stuff. I salvaged two vases only. I also had a phone conversation with an old friend whom I haven't spoken with in months. I told her jokingly about some adventures Panic Attack Girl (aka me) has been on.We had a great laugh over it and she wants to be my sidekick. She seriously thinks I should do a comic book about it. She loved the camping story. It was all in good fun and made for an entertaining conversation.
I have house guests with children for the next two weeks. I learned how to remove permanent marker from wallpaper today as well. The children will keep me on my toes for certain. I'm sure I will learn more how to remove this and that from here and there before tomorrow is over. Never dealt with that when I raised my children, just the occasional gum in hair or crayon in dryer.
It's good you weren't grumpy. Pillow talk is always nice. Yesterday, one of the toddlers shoved a cloth coaster into the dvd player. The mom was worried it would never come out. I'm handy with a screwdriver. She thought I would be upset. I explained only if he gets hurt will I be upset, not mad upset, concerned upset. If he burns the place down, that's a different story, but how much damage can a toddler do? Not enough to make me mad.
Today is Day 3 of house guests. Been sick 2 of those days. Fed them all lunch and dinner, they were on their own for breakfast. Hoping they don't catch this virus. I have sprayed everything I touch with disinfectant. We watched a nice movie that I had never seen. James and the Giant peach. It was different for a kids movie. I also let a toddler help me with a quilt pattern. He wanted to continue working on it, but I was wiped out. All in all a good day.
I made a peach cobbler today. I had to tell the toddlers it was oranges. They don't want to eat anything peach after watching James and the giant peach.
I slept fairly well. Only woke up a few times to take a drink of water.
Today I made a peach cobbler. The children didn't want to eat it so I told them it was oranges. I lied to toddlers. It worked though. I also made a quilt today. Day 4 of house guests. Besides lying to the toddlers it's been a good day. I feel a bit better today virus wise as well.
Toddler boy had to potty number one really bad and took my empty teacup and set it on floor. The mother was appalled. The father quickly took him to bathroom and I laughed so hard I had a coughing fit. I asked the Mother where he got this idea from and she explained on way here, they used a disposable cup during trip so they didn't have to make so many rest area stops. I will now laugh every time I use my teacup. I think to be on the safe side, I will use my other favorite teacup tomorrow and keep it out of his reach.
Feeling slightly better today, but running a fever.
Day 7 of house guests. I got really sick. So sick I had to see the Dr today. Blood pressure was 90/68 and heart rate was 120. I am now on 3 medications for this virus. Just Ugh is how I feel. Dr is very concerned about my heart rate even after explaining I have a panic disorder and he wants me to monitor it for the next 5 days and if it doesn't go below 100 he wants to see me back in office. So, I figured I would drop in here for an update since I am so ill and didn't get online yesterday. I'm going to lay down and try to be stress free via Doctors orders.
