I have suddenly found myself parenting two very unique children. Little Man I can just give him a look and he knows what I am thinking. HG, well its just over 24 hours, so she's still learning. I need to figure out how to balance things out-time with both, time for housework, and for me. Its double the work-with a little girl and hair, its actually triple-but I always wanted a big family.
I know that I can do it all, with grace, finesse and class.
Unfortunately, the last few days my back has decided to fire up again. I don't know what triggers it, but its miserable. I get tired and cranky because it hurts. Its across my shoulders and no amount of massage or biofreeze or anything seems to help. Its a dull ache and it limits movement. Its a deep muscular pain that just stinks.
So last Tuesday or so, the back began to fire up again. At that point, I began to struggle with everything else, because I just HURT. Its only my back that feels like that, and it gives me an insight into people with real problems like RA or MS or whatever. So, I hurt and ache and am miserable. The rest of the family knows better when I am feeling like this and they just avoid me and let me be. HG will have to learn as well I suppose.
So, this morning, after I am done chugging some coffee and doing my yoga stretches, I need to get some laundry in the washer. Get on the treadmill. Take a shower and make a miracle out of my hair. Get three people dressed, fed and out the door (plus taking care of two animals). Somewhere in between I also need to empty the dishwasher and prep dinner. No meetings or anything tonight (breathing sigh of relief) but lots of homework for the Little Man. I have some work to do too for next Sunday-I have both Children's Chapel and Middle School Sunday School to do.
This week, luckily, I have very little going on, which is a relief for me. I need this time to get back into the groove with keeping up with housework and all.
Some super heroes wear capes. This one wears an apron.
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld
