overwhelmed

[JORDYSMOM]

Hey Jackie. It sounds like you are a hard-working, motivated individual. It's great that you are working so hard to reach the goals you've set for yourself. You ask if you are taking on too much. I believe if you have to ask that question, then the answer is probably yes. If you are already feeling tired and pressured, it will probably only get worse.

I don't want to sound as if I'm bashing your hubby, but he can't put off the "talk" forever. If he doesn't want to hear it now, then when? I think if you let this go very long, you will start to resent him for not listening to you and helping you. It's not a good idea to let one's health go no matter what the circumstances. Having CF makes it an absolute must. LouLou is right; he needs to be prepared for the day when he has to take care of you. That day could be years from now or tomorrow. The time to work this out is now.

Take care.

Hey Jackie
First, I just wanted to say I went to the University of Maine at Farmington! Also, about husbands not sharing the load: I divorced mine for that very reason. My ex wanted me to get a part time job on top of going to grad school full-time, working as a TA, and for a literary press. Meanwhile he only worked a part-time job and had no benefits. This, needless to say, escalated into problems in other areas of our relationship.
Make sure you tell your husband exactly how you feel. One of the problems I always run into is that I expect those close to me to understand how exhausted I am without me saying anything. Of course they don't. Make sure he knows that you are feeling overwhelmed and maybe that will be enough to get him to take on more of the load.
Hope it works out for you,
v.

I completely agree with that.. some how it never works...

Anyway, I want to thank those who have replied I truly appreciate it. Last night on the way home from kitty food shopping <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">, we talked about ways to save some money, and a few other things. And I didn't get the 'not now talk' which was nice, but I didnt get to the point of me working part time. I guess its all in time that I have to do this.

Thanks to you all.

Uhg, my husband is the king of not listening, so I know how you feel. The bottom line is that your health has to come first. If you are too tired then you need to cut back or you will get sick and then where will you be? This is the only really big area of my life where I am selfish, but I have to be. Your husband needs to understand that your health is more important than anything else, afterall he wants you around for a long time right?
