Knackered

A good English word to describe how I'm feeling today. And such a beautiful day out... such a waste really. It was one of those days which was a good day - well behaved children, fun out in the yard, husband off work - but yet I couldn't enjoy it. I was too tired and had a headache. And I don't get headaches very often, so when I do, they seriously annoy me!

Oh well, we do what we can - have a good night's sleep (if possible) and hope for an even better day tomorrow. It did also help to remind myself a few times today as I saw my kids smiling or laughing or hugging me, that I was blessed to have this life, so for the next 10 or so minutes I did have some renewed energy. It quickly faded again though! Oh and a bit of hostility or animosity towards the better half as he wasn't the biggest help today. I think I get very annoyed with him because his idea of helping out doesn't really. Thing is, in my mind he's doing as little as he can with the kids and I think in his mind, he's trying to make things easier for us. Also it was his day off work today, although I was still somehow 'working' (doing dishes, laundry, cooking, taking care of kids, etc) and I didn't get a day off - but again if I remind myself that he's a lot better than most and that he's trying in his own (inept ;) way, then at least I shouldn't feel angry - perhaps slightly frustrated. Oh well, it's just one of those days. Tomorrow will be much better - right?
