*groan* Lordie, I’m tired.<\/p>\n
It always amazes me how often holidays ‘for Mom’ turn into a day Mom gets to work to create the fun the family thinks she should have.<\/p>\n
I imagined yesterday as a golden day when my kids helped me create the herb garden that lurks in my dreams. One of them even bought some plants for me. Instead, I cooked. I cooked what they thought would be a treat for the whole family. And, I can’t deny everyone enjoyed it, and they did help. But it left no time for garden puttering and no energy for me to deal with anything else.<\/p>\n
The major effect of my health problems is that I have very limited energy. It isn’t unusual for what was planned as a short nap to turn into waking up the next day. I don’t think my girls have made the mental connection that asking me to do one thing means I probably won’t be able to do anything else. I.e., cooking means I can’t garden.<\/p>\n
Oh well. Maybe in a day or two I’ll have the energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
