Will Ya'll Please Pray for Me

[NewWorldOrder]

I don't usually like to come here for prayer, but I really need it.

Last week my daughter caught a nasty cold. On the days she didn't feel so bad, I let her do language on the couch. Now, she's much better, but guess who caught her cold. I missed church Sunday, and have been trying to get better, but just as I feel I'm getting better I get dizzy, or really, really tired and have to lay down. I don't ever get sick, and it's really messing me up. And that's not all. I haven't exactly been on top of my homeschooling, but I am changing that. I have to get over this crud so I can do what I am supposed to be doing. I'm really frustrated about this and just want to get better, but I have things to do and all I can do is lay down.

I prayed lastnight next to be my DD, and told God how sorry I am for getting lazy with my responsibilities, and asked him to give me the motivation I need to get back on track. Today, I woke up all motivated and was really on a role with our school work today, then I got to feeling so bad I couldn't work anymore. My daughter did finish her math problems, and all her language but I can't bring myself to do more. She's not behind in any of her work, that's not what our problem is, it's being ill and trying to stay motivated.

Sorry so long. I think I'll have her sit down with me for a few minutes now, and read a book.

It is so hard, sometimes, to work when we are feeling bad. Your daughter did two subjects today, and now you'll read with her. If that is all you can manage until you are well, then so be it. The work will be there when you recover. Make sure you are doing what you can, and don't feel bad about the rest. I hope you are feeling "right as rain" soon!!

I've been feeling the same way NWO about not being on top of things around here and staying motivated enough.. :hug Don't beat yourself up though -- You need the rest -- :hug God will understand.. :)

I will be praying for you to feel better quickly; my son came down with this over the weekend and i was freaking out - b/c i SO don't want to get it! I DESPISE being sick - i'm always sick twice as long as anyone else.

Get some Airbourne or Emergent C to kill that cold fast sweetie!! It worked wonderful for me my last cold.. It killed it in 5 days... And that's a record for me..

I agree, Airbourne does make you feel better faster. I was sick last month, hs was tough on old mom. Praying for you.:pray

:hug Thanks everyone for the word of encouragement. I've used Airborne before, a long time ago. I usually avoid getting sick by taking a lot of vitamin C, and it usually works but not this time. :idunno

But, I'll tell ya, Topeka my spirits are lifted pretty good right now after reading your post about your son. I told my husband and he started laughing with me. The things our kids will do to make us laugh. :lol2

Would like to point out that's the child that attends public school not the home schooled children.

Not knocking public schools, I'm one. Just thought it was funny because he's my son and the apple doesn't fall from the tree.

Laughter is the best medicine. I love to laugh.

Praying for you all to feel better soon as it's never fun to be sick. A cold can make you feel so miserable and take a lot out of you so I understand where your coming from, but just take it easy as rest helps you recuperate too.

I have also found learning videos or tv channels with learning stuff can be great on days like these.. Keep in mind; a couple of days off wont hurt anything.. :hug
