quote for the day.............
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
~ Albert Einstein
this is the thought i kept thinking today, and i had a reason why but i can't seem to remember. just the quote. it totally applies to my housekeeping skills, and parenting issues too. I'm just putting this out here. maybe later once i can think in peace I'll remember the reason it keeps resonating in my mind! and BINGO!
i realized as a blathered on (thus the bingo) , that it fully applies to my medication! and my lack of discipline in taking it. i stop taking it, for whatever reason, this time because the insurance wouldn't cover it, and because i don't have cash to just cover it myself. or any refills left anyway and now i have to go the mail order route.
so i haven't had it for a few weeks. probably 6, which by now my thyroid hormone supply is getting close to totally gone. and the bad typing skills and lack of quick thinking, has brought this to my attention. and yesterday I realize i am wearing a little rounder than normal face. not that i am thin by any means but there is more there this week , than a week ago. but remember i am still HOT! and the headaches and leg cramps i have been having are probably due to that lack of pill taking too. and when i do this to myself why am i surprised? i know better! last time i said i would never not take them, what is the deal? the hell i experienced, the body aches , the exhaustion, the depression, the weight gain, and headaches and stuff i can't even recall , all super sucked. then why would i think this time would be different? why do i not take it faithfully on an empty stomach everyday no matter what? why do i occasionally think I'm doing ok, one day doesn't matter? and one day turns into 10 and 10 becomes 20 and what the hell? why can't i concentrate? or drive , or spell? why do i feel compelled to nap all afternoon, and why don't i feel rested afterward?
ok so this is the reason for that quote. i live with insanity! i cause insanity! i am insane!
learn from me, quit doing the same stupid thing over and over and expecting a different result!
this sucks!

It makes me sad that you are feeling so bad! I hope you are able to start taking it again so you get feeling better! Soon!! Yes..I never noticed your face to be bigger in those pics from last night. Probably something only you would notice about yourself..we all do that! I think we all can say..well I know I can say that I have done my fair share of repeated mistakes! I get so irritated with myself sometimes..again I hope you get feeling better SOON!! :)
Oh yeah..and you are NOT insane..you are just a busy mom of 6 kids..who is too busy taking such good care of her kids..that she puts her own needs last. I admire you for that!
Sorry you're not feeling good ... sounds like pregnancy, but one that doesn't go away in 9 months! Take care of yourself!
I'm so sorry that you have to take medicine to feel ok everyday! But, I can tell you I repeat many of my mistakes- we are all human!
I am the same way! I do things that I know haven't worked out for me in the past, and yet, I do them over and over expecting something to be different...
So sorry that things are not hunky-dory right now. If I can do something (anything) to help, let me know!
i think we all pretty much feel the way you do at one time or another....only i do think you have a lot more on your plate than mine....soooo, you're entitled to feel that way. you are a great mom, wife and friend...no worries girl. and....this post really got me thinking more that i really think i do have a low thyroid problem right now. and the other day as i was talking with my mom she informed me that it runs in my family...didn't know that. sooo, someday when i get back on insurance i'm for sure going to have my thyroid checked out. i definitely have some of the symptoms. so thanks for getting me thinking and doing some research! see, what a good friend you are!
I love your honesty--I really do. You make me feel like you are just a normal person with trials and stress and fears and just so wonderul! I hope that things get better for you...you're amazing and I LOVE reading all about your life--even the crappy stuff!
you know i feel your pain (wish i could take it away from you). things will get better once you get your meds. loves
i for sure have a hard time learning trom my mistakes the first time. i feel bad your not feeling good. i wish i could help, if you need anything let me know.
Oh I hope you can get your meds soon and start feeling better. My sisters have Thyroid issues and they also hate taking their meds. It is just one more dang thing that you have to think about each day. Like we dont already have a million things going through what is left of our brains! Keep up the great attitude girl!
I hope you get your meds soon, too. There's nothing worse than not feeling right when you know what feeling right is supposed to feel like.
That is an awesome quote!! I think we all have bad habits that we can't break, but I don't think that would consider us all iNsAnE..?? Hope you get feeling better soon!! I'll be thinkin of ya..
I so sorry!! I hope tou start feeling better soon. I totally agree w/your quote. I have heard it before and I think we all are slightly insane by that definition. You are not alone...
I hope you feel better soon. You need to take your meds! Jessica Badger had part of her thyroid removed and I believe has to get blood work done every month??? DO you? The Albert quote is funny to me. I was just complaining to my mom about Laundry. I'll be all excited cause I get it done and put away only to have more to do. IT IS NEVER ENDING!!! ARGGG....
