Singularly Unmotivated
May 30, 2007 2:09 pm Mom is a person tooIs it ok if I admit I am just not feeling it today? I have a nice allergy attack going, and I am short-tempered and waspish, and unfit company for even myself. I’m thinking of my children as so many chores to be accomplished, and I just want to crawl under a rock and be by myself. Oh, I didn’t wait for you to answer, did I? Oops, sorry about that.
Some days are just meant for dreaming of getting away, and this is one of them. WeNeedAVacation.com has certainly got my number today. I’m looking at their Martha’s Vineyard vacation rentals and thinking, “oh yeah, baby”. But I’m warning you: if I can’t go by myself, I’m not going at all.
I think I better go take a nap now, before I bite someone’s head off. Again. I’ll feel better if I do that, I think. Nap I mean, not create headless little people.

Did you get that nap in?
My midwife remarked to me once that women always put themselves last on the list as a matter of what’s almost considered to be principle. I think it’s good role-modeling to show that when you feel horrible, you rest! (A Simon Says kind of group project.)

I agree, Sandy. We’re still working on the idea that “mom needs a 15 minute nap so she won;t be grumpy” translates to “time to be quiet.”
