I think the "move around you'll feel better." is an old wive's tale. When you are not feeling well(physically), running around doesn't magically make you feel better. I think that was what they told themselves because they couldn't stop working/moving even though they wanted to. Thus they figure our generation should do the same. Just keep going and do what you have to do. I think it might be more reasonable to adapt to the situation. Do as much as you can while staying off your feet as much as possible. That way less blood loss and less pain. Yes, I am talking about the whoas of being a woman. Just part of life for us. If I have to go and do, I do. If I don't have to, I stay off my feet on days like this. I get light headed and weak, so I really am better off not to over-do-it. I know how REAL life is. I had to teach a class with larangitis and a fever. You can't stop because it's your job. I have no intention of teaching my children any different, but I am not sure we need to make up stories about walking miles in the snow to accomplish that. Maybe there is a more realistic approach to life than making up rediculous statements which no believes are true.
I am starting my own blog to reduce my boredom and give me a place to put my thoughts. Recently some people I know put some very difficult words out for all the world to see. I have been chicken to do the same and now I want to set the record straight. I didn't talk to people from high school for over ten years. It seems so silly now. I found out recently that I'm not the only one who grew up in college and beyond. We aren't kids anymore so the past is just that the past. I'll admit some of it I don't want to remember, but we did have some fun times in high school. The truth is something happened to me that I was not at all ready to talk about so I just avoided people. I got married in 1998 to a really great guy I met in college. We were giddy and in love. We decided after nine months of bliss to have a baby. Why not? I was bored and we wanted one. That sounds terrible to say that, but it is true. Boom one month later I was expecting. Three months later Jo
