When did I get old?

For the past two weeks, I have been trying to convince my middle aged body, that I am able to work (energy level, lifting, moving) as I did when I was able to 15 or 20 years ago. What happened in those years? It is not as if being a stay-at-home-mom is “easy”. Sometimes it is more exhausting than I could ever imagine. Kids seem to have that endless energy…little energizer bunnies. I have only been working for 2 weeks and I have not been this tired, drained, exhausted in a long time. My legs, feet, back, arms…heck, I hurt. Next week I am supposed to work 5 (!) nights. During the day, my son will be home as the kids have a vacation week, I will have to entertain him. I can only hope (pray) that I can find enough quiet activities for him to do during the day.

Winter has returned, it is about 9F with a windchill that makes it feel about -3F! I really am not fond of winter and would rather the temperatures never drop below about 50F. Oh well.
