Up before dawn
Cooking lunches and breakfasts
For other stomachs
No shower
Until all others ready
Hurrying through the act
To rally all into the car
Errands and chores
Phone calls and texts
Regardless of health and energy
Getting slower
Brings criticism and trips
Yet there is no time to stop
Sacrifices to make up for loses
And praying
To get a weekend break
While knowing chances slim
Muster a smile for gatherings
Holding strong
As others take credit
And field the questions
Related to your hard work
Which begins anew
As Monday looms ahead

I hope things start to improve for you soon, and you get some rest before you end up even more unwell and drained than you already are.

My goal is to make it to my son’s break in late February. With him sleeping in, I can do the same and take a day or two of indoor time.

I love it when others step in to tell your story. Good poem. Now, I need to lay down.

It’s become a pet peeve of mine in some regard. Mostly when the person tells it wrong.
