Yes, I am supposed to be on bed rest because of my rib condition.
Yes, I am bored out of my mind after laying on the couch for 5 weeks.
Yes, I broke a few rules today, and probably overdid it.
Yes, I will certainly regret it tomorrow!
Yes, I am woman enough to admit it!

I certainly am NOT excessive compulsive about my house.  I most certainly do not worry about what other people might think of their pastor and his wife if they were to drop by and find our house in disarray...NOT ME!  
I DID NOT take out all of the underwear  and bra's out of the laundry and wash them myself because I am too proud to let someone from church wash those for me!  NOT ME!
I DID NOT clean the bathroom today because I am too proud to have my sister-in-law clean it when she comes over tonight to help me clean my house.  NO, I don't have a pride/dignity problem!  NOT ME!
I DID NOT freak out over the fact that I have to have a C-Section in three weeks...and the reason for freaking out was certainly not because I have survived 4 pregnancies without a single stretch mark, and now I'm going to have a ugly scar!  NOT ME!  I would NEVER be that vain!


Okay, amazingly enough I feel better for confessing those things, and my ribs are killing me from sitting here for ten minutes, so I'm headed back to the couch!  I just had to participate in this week's Not Me! Monday.

    Thanks for the update Julie. I know this is a rough time for you, but you will get through it! I had many different ills throughout the my pregnancy with the twins and had to "accept help" as well and I was glad that I did. God is showing you some wonderful truths during this time and he is allowing you to feel what it is like to be "served." Enjoy the help while you have it and use this time of rest as a wonderful time to pray for your family, friends and for your future baby. Maybe laying on the couch will seem so unproductive after all! Saying a prayer for you tonight!

    Blessings,
    Heather
