ltc is so stubborn. She wants to do everything the same exact way each time and she wants to do it all herself. So if you close the car door for her for example and she wanted to do it, she becomes furious and will not calm down until you open the door again and let her close it. It's exhausting.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Yay Dana!
Aw, ltc. That does sound exhausting.

I think all little ones are exhausting, although some are more so.
One thing - an advice columnist was asked about parenting. The question was that a mother, of a six-year-old and a younger child, both girls, if they had a little boo-boo, she'd put a gel pack on it. Her husband takes the position that she's overindulging them, that they'll need to be tougher and not give in to every little ouchie. The columnist suggested that the mother try to negotiate some kind of compromise - that the husband be more compassionate and the mother let the girls deal more on their own, but that the care at their early ages would set a pattern for the future. That letting the children know that they were cared for was important.
So ... that's my two-cents worth. As a non-parent, what do I know.

And I should say 80% of the time ltc is an absolute joy, telling stories, making pictures, and a very lovable child.

Our wings are not tired.
Even when they are in good humor and loving they can be exhausting!
How are you feeling, sj?

I'm still exhausted, and everyone around me is making me feel bad about not feeling better yet.

It takes time, and lots of rest. Rushing it would only put you two steps back. I'm sorry.

Oh, that's no good. You aren't exactly in control of how fast you recover!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Are facts helpful here? If not, please disregard the rest of this post!
It may take time to recover from pneumonia. Some people feel better and are able to return to their normal routines within a week. For other people, it can take a month or more. Most people continue to feel tired for about a month. Adequate rest is important to maintain progress toward full recovery and to avoid relapse. Don't rush your recovery! Talk with your doctor about when you can go back to your normal routine.

Thanks, guys. It doesn't help that we're supposed to have our big Father's Day gathering next Sunday and my house is a complete disaster, I have no menu plan yet, etc.
