Self Care...meh
At this very moment I am hormonal and cranky. My naturopath had me keep track of my cycle this month and let me tell you, day 22 is not a happy one. I wanted to do some self-care today but the whole day has been housework and caring for other people and things. In 30 minutes my daughter wants me to drive her to youth group then pick her up again at 9:00. I don't want to. But I will because I have nice kids and I hope to keep them that way. She could be out running around with bad kids but instead she is going to a church sponsored youth group. Oh, but I am so tired and just want to stay home. Even writing these words is taxing and going to bed right now at 6:05 sounds so nice.
I should do some tracking too.
ReplyDeleteSelf-care sounds so easy - and I find it really, really hard. By the time I have (nearly) finished my other duties I just want to go to bed... And have a little sulk. Or a big one.
ReplyDeleteO dear.. isn't that poor cyclops from Sinbad? Yeah, some days a good rest would be really nice. But it certainly is wonderful that your daughter wants to go to church meeting :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a rough patch. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can find some tiny teeny spot of sunshine.
ReplyDeleteYou are a good mama ;)
ReplyDeletethe things we will do for our kids...I know it is taxing but so worth it in the long run
ReplyDeleteWait until you get to the stage when your kids don't need to drive them anywhere anymore, that's a bit depressing too.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing at Joey's comment...my little brother is learning to drive and I feel OLD.
ReplyDeleteI think I have three good days a month...
