I wish others could be more understanding, but to others it's such a small thing and they just don't get that it's such a big thing to us. Idiot that I am, I push myself past the point to act as others expect of me and I know better. Yet I do it over and over again. My kids are off from college and although I will miss them, I look forward to after next week when I can follow MY schedule and stop pushing past my limits to make them not worry about me. Maybe it's hard for moms not too.
