I don't know if it's just me, but I seem to have become very tired and very lazy all at once. The old me would bounce around the house doing chores, cooking, and managing the kids from 5am to well past 10pm. But for some reason, these last few weeks, I have become incredibly tired. 'I'm tired' I absent mindedly whine to my husband when he comes home and asks how my day went. He's tired too. Tired from the long drive, the thankless job, and the long hours. And as I sit on my chair nursing one of the twins for the 8th time today I watch him doze in and out of sleep I wonder if I have any right to complain. I run through the trials of my day and I take inventory of my activities. With a pot still on the stove and putting one baby down to pick up the other and I know. I may not want to, but I have to continue to do what I do. I don't have time for tired. Then yesterday, as I made the bed, my husband leaned over to kiss me. "Thank you for all you do. You are appreciated. This house would fall apart without you." I think I got a little energy in that moment, and I'm not feeling so tired anymore.
