Momma Bear,

Being more than a bit perfectionist personality was a real curse for me...I could by no means keep up.

I was forced to do what I called chore triage. Expect a little less of yourself right now..for your's and your families survival. I had to figure out what chores were actually important and what were self imposed overboard important.

Sit down for a few minutes and make a list, don't be afraid to ask your hubby for help if you need it....use discipline to abide by that list. Rest in between.

Right now you are not the same, don't require the same of yourself.

I was home for 10 months from my accident and my wife worked at our business, I cooked for her and I like to cook. It was no longer easy to plan a meal and I burned a few things which wasn't my norm. I was forced to lay aside the norm for what was necessary and truly expedient.

Don't be afraid to flex..we don't break and it just might be liberating.

Bud
