(((((((Daynnight))))) Please don't let your energy get sapped by people who don't deserve it (re. other thread). I know it's a fight, and that 's just what fights are, hard and hurtfull. So much hinges on us being in shape, healthy and in sparring shape, that even getting sick becomes a catastrophe. I know that things come to a stand still if Ii am not here or able to take on the kids. It has been torture sometimes knowing that I have to stay awake another hour because no way is the little one going to sleep, the hubby doesn't see how dead exhausted just the eight hour day has been....
It's hard, but you'll make it. I'm just going to do my job and remind you firmly to take time for yourself to recharge those batteries, eat right, do something that makes your soul sing, in the words of one of our OT's. Take a walk in the countryside if you can, take a cup of coffee with a friend if you want. Remember the things that make your heart strong. Remember that we are here.
Huggs to you and to everyone in your family, dear Daynnight.
