Before I left for work last night I put some chicken in the toaster oven for my son. I told him to make some vegetables and to clean up and put away the leftovers in the fridge. This morning I came home from work and I asked him if he put away the leftovers and he said no. Why? Because he ate the whole thing. Nine pieces of chicken! How can anyone eat that much? This child is never full. Ever.
I am feeling a little better since last post and I thank you all for your comments. It sure would be nice to be one of those people who are always happy. Actually, no it wouldn't. People like that are hard to connect with. Give me a depressed and anxious person any day and I will have someone that is probably a little more patient, understanding and loving. I know I need to be gentle with myself. Anxiety and depression run in my family. My mom and both my grandmothers dealt with it. It just seems like they were so much more together than I am.
I must keep this post short as I need to have breakfast then go to bed. The patient I was caring for was up no less than 12 times last night. It is hard to watch someone you are caring for not be able to sleep. OK, my eggs are ready. xo
People who are ALWAYS happy are either liars or fools.
ReplyDeleteI couldn’t bear to be near a person who does not experience fear, despondency, or the blues occasionally.
my daughter, 12, could easily eat 9 pieces of chicken! she is never full either. i was the same way. glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeletei hope you get some sleep!!

I never knew anyone who was always happy. I do find myself more content in the last couple of years. An occasional down and sometimes an up. It all evens out.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't sleep last night either. The cat was outside my bedroom door meowing like a mofo. I was ready to turn him into a violin bow!
ReplyDelete9 pieces of Chicken?! Yikes. 9 pieces of cake? Yes! LOL!
When I was in seventh grade, I came home one day and ate ten tacos. Ten!! And I am a small person.
ReplyDeleteI battle anxiety and depression myself, and winter is the hardest time - just be patient with yourself and fight it by being nice to yourself. :)
happy is over rated LOL
ReplyDeleteMy care home days ahhh the sleepless nights of a 98 yr. old women there were times I could handle it and then catch me on my 4th night of double backing and well she needed warm drink and lights out sadly we spoiled her so and when I shut the place down and she had to go to another place she only lasted 3 months :( 5 months shy of making it to 100 I had her 7 yrs at my place oh I need to get that story finished soon ;]
get rest when you can *,*
My partner's nephews would view nine pieces of chicken as a snack. As far as I can see they eat seven or eight BIG meals a day. A dozen eggs doesn't last a day.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are feeling a little better - and battle with the blues myself. Sometimes I win, more often they do.
I know what you mean about happy happy people. However I really would like to be a little more up beat. I think I am getting there however. Your son must have been really really hungry or he is growing a lot. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Rottenator has been known to devour an entire rotisserie chicken, a container of potato salad and a bag of dinner rolls all by himself in one sitting...and still doesn't gain weight. Bastard! I have to squirrel away my own food in secret hiding places just to make sure there's a Reeses cup or a potato chip left as he can polish off bags of those too!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the zzzzzz's, Birdie! Thanks for coming by my blogs!
