Sometimes I just shake my head at myself because there are days and activities I just find hard to do and/or don't want to do. Today I will be taking care of my sick granddaughter knowing full well I may get sick too. Earlier this week I went to the dentist and had another medical check up the very next day, and it's not that I want to be a kid again, heck NO! The Serenity Prayer just popped into my head-accept the things I cannot change and change the things I can. That's being a grown up, Lyne

(((Lyne))) i agree being a grownup is not for sissies. Thanks to program I now have the courage and wisdom to face life on life' terms-- It certainly sounds as if you have as well . :0
As far as illness is concerned , I find that taking mega doses of Vit. C really helps to ward of illness. Take care

Oh gracious isn't this an opportunity for me to whine and kick like a baby? What helps me along on this subject is knowing that I can never be alone and my HP may still have use for me going forward. Being responsible and trusted remains a big affirmation for me...and I like it. Great post. (((hugs)))

LOL .. Lyne your share made me laugh because after being sick and just not wanting to adult on any level.
No I don't want to be a kid however I do not want to be responsible today. I just want a break from it all. Where is my cabana boy and the beach or someplace along that lines where no worries or cares are there.
I asked my daughter to make dinner the other night .. all she had to do was read the directions and watch a video .. a 5 ingredient deal for the crock pot ham and beans .. I got home and realized after eating almost a whole bowl and laughed because there was no ham in the ham and bean soup!!! When I asked her what happened to the ham I was told she "forgot" we had ham. Never mind she was with me when we bought it .. put it away in the fridge and so on .. apparently the ham went the way of the eggs for the corn bread .. we have no eggs .. and yet there were 10 in the fridge in a carton marked eggs.
The child is not working at the moment and it's not like there is a lot going on. My original exhaustion was all I wanted was ham and bean soup!! Noooo .. ham .. in my soup and I seriously wanted to have a full on tantrum because I wanted ham and bean soup!! :)
Instead I just let it go and wound up with a leaky ceiling in the bathroom .. sigh .. upstairs neighbors and a reminder we need to be in a house. So much for my evening of relaxation, it was a continuation of the harry potter movies, feet up and ignoring some responsibilities .. LOL.
Eventful night, unplanned and the good news was I had family with me so maybe not so bad after all .. although I'm making ham and bean soup for tomorrow because after all that I would like to know what it was suppose to taste like. :)
Hugs, enjoy your babies and have fun.

I can soooooo relate to this share. I watch one of the two little guys so as to keep the healthy one away from the germs at the pediatrician's office. Backfired on me hugely so I'm on day 6+ of having the horrendous flu I have been blessed to avoid for the last x years. I have not been this sick in a long, long while.
My parents arrive tomorrow. They both just got well and I am hopeful that they leave their germs behind and mine are on the way out enough that it doesn't all circle around again. In the meantime, I've been having a mini-pity-party now and again just because I don't be still well.
Adulting is hard at times and doing it with grace is even more difficult!!!
