Helen, Have you ever noticed, too...that the minute
you feel well enough to do a couple of things...that
everyone assumes..."Oh...if she did that she must be
O.K.", and then they seem to expect more?
IE: Well, if she worked 8 hours, vacuumed, dusted, and
cleaned the bathroom...then she'll cook dinner, do the
dishes, and sweep the floors, too...and we'll watch
t.v. I don't have kids...I have a husband..he's one
"big" kid...doesn't cook, doesn't clean until yelled
at, thinks he's the guy from "This Old House" when
he's more like Tim Allen, thinks he knows everything,
throws temper tantrums, procrastinates, hides his
dirty clothes in the closet till they're 3' high, and
whines when you ask him to do something. But, I love
him because I can say anything to him, he's my best
friend. And he's stood by me when many people "just
can't deal"...love is funny that way...don't you
think? LOL ---- Hugs, Marianne
