Gray Day

Today I'm feeling rather like the weather....very drab, gray, and ready to drop some water. To put it in a nutshell, I'm a bit tired and down. I feel very unappreciated, but I am sure this is all in my mind. My house would not function without me. My children would not eat without me. My husband would not have anytime to do nothing without me. That's right, I know that I am needed, just not always appreciated though. That's okay, I don't fight a hand for a hand. I'm not one to hold grudges. I like to kill with kindness because you get more with honey than you do with lemons. In fact, I found someone willing to help me and watch my students at lunch two days a week when I return so I can pump. I also found another person willing to teach writing and yet another willing to teach science for me so I can pump. Needless to say, I am so ecstatic that I have three seperate people who are willing to make my life a little easier when I return to school. I'm already worried about my supply taking a nose dive as I will be going at the least 6 1/2 hours in between feeding and pumping, but I will manage. I will manage because I have to. My child depends on me and only I can provide him with what he needs. His dad can not, his brother can not, his furry brother and sister also can not. It's a job that only belongs to one....this mama.
