We've enjoyed a 3 day weekend so far and I'm pooped. All I did today was get up, fix breakfast, go with the kids to a big easter egg hunt/ party, come home and watch a netflix movie (old Julia Roberts - Runaway Bride), and cook tacos for dinner. I am already tired of cleaning up easter egg debris from the floor. Maybe it's because there are some big storm systems in the area and I don't like changes in the barometric pressure. I'm just lazy today. Tomorrow is church and brunch with family.
My mother in law has been through a big surgery and some health issues and is doing better. I can tell that because she is stressing about the regular things now (social events, parties, etc) instead of how she's feeling. She's really unusual for most folks her age (79) in that she never talks much about her health. We have to force her to go see her doctor. So I'm glad she is almost her usual self again - even if I feel like an underachiever in my social schedule/ roster of daily activities compared to hers! I know I should not compare myself to anyone else, but she is intimidating. Raised 4 kids, ran/ still runs a large business with her husband, board member of several community organizations, member of several clubs, travels extensively (foreign country at least once a year), etc. Glad I'm the 2nd daughter-in-law!
