I know many have told you how quickly those days pass, but it's true. I know you would have preferred not to have had a stroke, but one good thing from it is that you are home and fully experiencing those days and storing up good memories for later on.

I love the mix of organizing food, the kids and to your practicing yoga and piano plus your exercises and therapy exercises for you.<br />You are keeping busy. The exhaustion is still and issue for me too. I think as we feel better we do more and keep pushing ourselves right to that exhaustion point.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714725782520722613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2520456258844139120.post-9736445059695915842013-10-24T11:06:01.374-04:002013-10-24T11:06:01.374-04:00To Barb and Elizabeth, I should make clear that &q...To Barb and Elizabeth, I should make clear that "making dinner" could mean putting frozen lasagna in the oven.

I am sooo happy every time I "get to"do all my "normal" mama jobs....some women complain about "having to do" these things....I know it's a privilege and a huge triumph. I am right there with you with the exhaustion. :( For me, some days are better than others, but it takes all my energy to just get through a normal day...even with a nap, and some days I have to surrender my cooking plans because it's just too much. This is still progress though!! :)Elizabeth, John, Jack, and Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177382087963521875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2520456258844139120.post-25804223244579282412013-10-24T08:19:53.268-04:002013-10-24T08:19:53.268-04:00It sounds as though your life is just lovely.

I know how much you wanted to start fixing dinner; Tom still makes dinner more often than he used to (I used to fix every meal, except when he made homemade pizza). He says it's because he has a plan for it, and I don't. <br /><br />And it sounds as though you're driving a lot - good for you.Barb Polanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673025156245739311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2520456258844139120.post-56653650888242929202013-10-23T19:38:35.208-04:002013-10-23T19:38:35.208-04:00I get your drift...
