Mini freak out and apology

Everyone, as I was dozing on the couch not too long ago, I had this weird vision of all the beady folks here lining up at my door to throw big rocks at me. All of you were yelling at me for not having any charity auctions up in a week.

I was freaked out, a little bit. I know none of you guys would ever actually do that, but it did make me feel especially sorry about said issue. I really am bummed about it--I still have all these lovelies to list, and I really wanna get them up and running. First there was the paypal thing, which I figured would be over about the time I started feeling better. Then more sickness crept up on me, and now it's gonna take a little longer before I can do much more than sit on my butt in a daze and throw hotdogs in water to feed my family.

The only good news in all of this is that I was able to send off a money order to Rachel on Saturday. I also sent a special present for Bekah, from one of our caring and compassionate donors:)

My goal is to rest up and gather my strength and focus, and I'm aiming to get stuff listed before the week is out. I'll be happy to take any "self control/don't over do it/get the rest I need" vibes I can get.

Love you all,

A week or even two won't make a difference in the overall way the world spins, Candace. They will need money for more than just this week, so if you need time to get well it shouldn't matter! This is voluntary and your health is a very important thing!

You can have all the 'don't overdo it' vibes in my possession! You need to be well to do this properly. And in the long run, your family need you to be well. I can't help with the auctions due to my location but I can offer my support, if that helps.

I know, I know. But I can still feel crappy about it, right? I was up de-cluttering the living room when Adam got up for work. After watching me stumble into the couch twice, because I couldn't see the toys beneath my feet, he quietly yelled at me to quit it. That's when I realised that I'm not super-woman, but it's hard for me to accept that and just chill out--especially when there's various bits of food being ground into my carpet (from Tyler) and Dare's papers from school laying all over the place and laundry waiting to get done and dishes piling up in the sink.

ARGH! Okay, I'm not th>

No, you can't.

You're only human and you'll just wear yourself out doing what you can't be expected to do.

My sister has a phrase for this sort of thing...'It doesn't matter, no one died.' So, unless your kids are in immediate danger from ground-in food in the carpet then just open your hands and let it go. You can wash later and there are others to pick up the slack. If not, then use paper plates till you feel better. Remember Chinette? Sturdy, strong and DISPOSABLE and the sick mom's best friend.

Nononononooo, anything but that! I'm just being practical. Eeek, there I did it again. Ouch. I hate being an adult.

No, you can't.

Take a sick break. That means mental and emotional, not just physical. Or you will stay sick a lot longer.

Honey, I think the dream is more about your own feelings of insecurity rather than how the group feels. What you're doing for Rebekah is wonderful - and you have the right to take care of your self and family before listing items. Please don't worry - I am sure people are really okay with how well you are handling all of this!!

And yet another voice of wisdom emerges from the mists. You are most likely correct, Kandice.

She IS right. If you dont take care of yourself you could end up sicker. Then we would have to find someone to run auctions to benefit YOU. So there. End of topic. Get thee well and Then do more auctions. Diana

Candace,

Anytime you feel bad about not doing housework you need to come spend a week with me. I could care less if there are dishes in the sink, tons of laundry, etc. It will get done when it gets done. Take care of yourself.
