One of my biggest problems is fatigue and it drives me crazy. I'll admit that I am very lucky and thankful that dh understands (probably more than I give him credit for) and does his best to see that I rest when I need to.

I used to wait tables, sometimes 10-12 hours a day and still be able to go out after work. Now I'm just happy to make it through a day without a nap! If my house doesn't get cleaned or the dishes washed it's not the end of the world. The most important thing is that I take care of myself. Yeah it does suck that I can't do what I used to but I'm learning that I have to deal with it and if someone doesn't understand then tough! I know better than anyone what I can or can't do now and I'm not wasting my energy trying to explain because chances are they really don't want to understand anyway.

I'll be 42 next month and I'm just starting to realize that I really wasn't born with the title SuperWoman and that cape I've been dragging around, I now know to use it to cover myself when I nap! LOL
