She was good to go within a week, but still got tired and worn out easily between week 1 and week 2. As long as she was doped up on pain meds, she was happy! Second, you are doing an amazing job at being "the one". I am "the one" when it comes to my stepmonkey's, since their mother has completely checked out. It's overwhelming, tiring, thankless, and difficult. But every time I start feeling like I would like a day off or a nice long vacation I remember my dad telling me "You chose this path. You need to deal with it". I have that attitude in life, and while a lot of people think it sounds harsh, It makes me feel better. I take a few minutes to throw myself my own little pity party and then I tell myself the same thing he tells me, I chose this life, I chose this path, I can handle it. God gives us what he knows we can handle. He has a plan for all of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
