Okay, I have to gripe here because I don't have anywhere else to gripe, I'm sorry.
My church is having a ski outing this coming Saturday. My daughter really wants to go, so I signed her up. I suggested to my husband that, if he wanted, he could drive her up (rather than her carpooling) and spend the day at the ski lodge relaxing and goofing off with his computer. He's been very overwhelmed at work, and is getting ready to start night school again, so I thought it'd be a good break, plus some good father/daughter time.
He balked (he's not a great socializer - he didn't state it, but I suspected he thought he'd be obligated to interact with the chaperones, whatever, I can respect that). Instead he asked if I ever wanted to go skiing, I said I had, but I'd just never gotten around to it, and probably wouldn't for a while given the aches and pains.
His response? "You should go this time, it's cheap and you'll have mother/daughter time."
Of couse, this gets Anna all "YAY!!!!" And then I have to tell them - um .... no.
I kinda stared at him a minute. I can barely haul my butt onto the exercise bike for 20 minutes a day. I'm constantly cursing the fact we bought a two-story house with a full basement because of all the damned stairs. I can't even lift the mixing bowls out of the cabinet without wincing. And he suggests I go skiing?
I know I meant well, but really. And when I said no, I'm too sore, he was all, "What do you mean? Really? You're that sore?"
I kinda wanted to bitch-slap him and scream FIBRO at him.
I get a lot done in a day. I do a lot of things that are just painful, but have to be done. That doesn't mean I want to go wreck myself for days by skiing. Not to mention the drive to the ski resort, since he knows driving long distances causes flare-ups.
/sigh Just when I think he understands, he does something like this.
Oh, and I might have narcolepsy. I'm currently doing sleep journaling to help determine whether I need to do a day-time sleep study (since my night-time sleep study obviously didn't pick it up).
I'm just tired. Can I crawl into a hole for a few days and make people just leave me the hell alone?
