Yes, you are lucky to be married to such a loving man. Energy management is difficult. I still struggle with it, too, but do try. Yes, see yourself as he does and give yourself more attention, not the house.Prishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970753027686923295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703932808294869884.post-45432073933168388742011-01-18T00:54:49.225-08:002011-01-18T00:54:49.225-08:00Thanks for ur comments Susan n Hayley!

I'm lucky enough to have one of those too. :-) I've also had Fibro/CFS for quite a while (a decade just about) and I still am trying to teach myself energy management and such. And it can be a lot about guilt. Feeling lazy or that I'm not doing enough. Too true.<br /><br />It's so ironic, but last night we were talking about birthdays. Our son's is coming up (he'll be 18 and I want it to be great) but I don't have the energy or health to make that happen this year and I feel horrible guilt about it. And when I mentioned my husband's coming up in a few months (we share out birthdays :-) all he told me is that the greatest gift he already had. Me. He didn't need anything. Didn't want anything else. Just me to be with him. We have two totally fabulous husbands, you and I. We're very lucky. <br /><br />Blessings to you and gentle hugs,<br />Susan @ Walking the Fog Covered Road<br />http://fogcoveredroad.blogspot.com/Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581128902081203020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703932808294869884.post-74823330736527706752010-10-24T01:05:43.448-07:002010-10-24T01:05:43.448-07:00I'm new to your blog - but the words of your h...I'm new to your blog - but the words of your husband could have come out of my husband's mouth .. gave me shivers. I think it is so hard to give up on some parts of being a "wife" like keeping the house neat and tidy (might be harder for slightly OC like myself) and just realize that our men want to see us sometimes just rested but happy rather than so tired after doing housework etc. I am happy to see your blog and that you are doing all you can to live WELL while suffering physically. I just started a blog this year on the same topic and hope that all of us can encourage each other in this struggle!

I find sharing my experiences with others helps me feel less isolated and gives me something positive to focus on. To this end, with my family's assistance, we have started our own site. If you visit on the attatched link http://dld.bz/mBZq and like what we are trying to achieve, you might consider exchanging your HTML banner code or your URL so we can advertise on each others sites and hopefully spread the word to a greater audience.<br />Julie xjuliehttp://dld.bz/mBZqnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703932808294869884.post-7194496664149307002010-04-21T11:28:23.264-07:002010-04-21T11:28:23.264-07:00Ms. F ~

I borrowed F's vacuum cleaner once (heck it was before the CFS), and I spend more time getting her hair out of the damn machine than cleaning my floor. Funny thing is that it sounds a lot more gross when I type it now, than it actually did. And, no, I didn't enjoy it. <br /><br />As far as CFS, some red wine should do it. If the fatigue persists, the flogging will begin. <br /><br />H.stringn00bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08383602354429443592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703932808294869884.post-5453123275850279142010-03-12T13:19:51.413-08:002010-03-12T13:19:51.413-08:00See, K, it's not just me who's a little ne...See, K, it's not just me who's a little neurotic...I'm in good company...lol...Ms.F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17793262399677752408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703932808294869884.post-16051892536181974252010-03-12T12:42:42.922-08:002010-03-12T12:42:42.922-08:00Hello, I stumbled upon your website but I don'...Hello, I stumbled upon your website but I don't know how! Anyway, this is beautiful post that brought tears to my eyes. For your husband to verbalize how he feels if amazing. I am a lot like you...I want the house clean dinner on the table, my hair fixed...the whole thing. And then I end up passed out on the couch unable to watch a movie or just watch the news with my husband. I think he would rather have pizza, a messy kithcen and a rested wife on a Friday night.

I'm printing it out to remind me that I do things I think I'm doing for others but I'm really doing them because it's how I want things for myself...and then I pay for the overexertion.

I'm better today than I was 2 years ago, and was better then than 8 yrs ago. Of course, maybe I'm just slow & you could accomplish this in 4 yrs instead of 8! haha...Ms.F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17793262399677752408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703932808294869884.post-30385204705503740042010-03-10T20:33:18.990-08:002010-03-10T20:33:18.990-08:00What a beautiful post!

I feel the same after 3 years of CFS. I might have to try the same experiment and see myself through my loved ones' eyes.Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068094486297918345noreply@blogger.com
