I feel like I have been on turbo speed for the last few weeks. It seems like there is always something going on, which is good but it's been exhausting! February has been such a busy month, and we're only half-way through it. I have been looking forward to having some free time to just relax, and today I have decided to spend the morning doing nothing. I've been watching some movies just so I can be a couch potato. It was much needed!
I have been thinking a lot about how quickly my life changed this past year. It was a year ago when the recurrent tumor was discovered. Everything has drastically changed for me and I still have a difficult time dealing with that. Not that it's all bad...it's just so different.
Sometimes going to a job was a break from family life. Now my only breaks are when the kids are in school during the day. I usually spend that time doing some type of housework or running some errands. I cannot do too much at once because I get very exhausted easily. It was also nice to have vacation days when I was working. Now I'm wondering when I get a vacation day. When the kids are out of school, it is no vacation for me. When do Mothers get a vacation?
I guess we need to allow ourselves these types of days, where we can relax and escape from whatever it is we need to get away from. I have laundry to finish up that has taken me three days to do. I'm sure it will be done by the end of the week, just in time for more laundry next week. There's always something to do, but I suppose most of it can wait.
You've earned it!
