Its the weekend once again and i am resisting the urge to go back to bed and stay there till monday. But it could be worse i could be a poor deer today. Its opening day here for shotgun. Run bambie run.
I was having a conversation with my doctor yesterday and she was asking what i was doing to cut down on the stress in my life as my hair continues to fall out. I told her i was trying to avoid the pit falls of lack of sleep, eating badly, and all those other things that suck you deeper. But she said and i know, stress for women/mothers is different. We always do things to help the others around us survive even though we logically know the smart thing to do is take care of ourselves first so we are better able to take care of the ones in our lives. She used the analogy of the oxygen mask on the airplane. But mothers/women are not wired that way. A friend sent me a poem in an email that states this perfectly.
One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH!
So for now i am satisfid that the kids are great, the hubby is sorta happy, and the animals are mostly healthy. And i can live with my major butch hair cut for now.
