Our youngest child is home for the summer from college.
It is always a challenge and adjustment to welcome one of our children back into the daily life of our home. My husband and I have our routines that are, for the most part, fairly independent of one another. I am used to a somewhat solitary existence with minimal interaction. So, it takes me by surprise that suddenly there is a person in the house who talks to me and wants me to go places with her.
Lately I have been incredibly tired. I think it's probably due to the lingering effects of the severe gall bladder attack I had not quite a month ago, coupled with the extreme heat last week and numerous events that have required me to be awake and functioning at hours when I would normally be dead to the world.
The result is that I feel off kilter and out of sorts -- not good conditions to be in while transitioning from a two person household to a three person household. And not a good state of mind for a mom to be in who still needs to parent a soon to be twenty year-old.
I'm torn between wanting to devote energy to this blog and knowing I need to devote more energy to my daughter.
I hope I can find the healthy balance that works for both of us.
