So, it's December third, I have three projects to finish-up,
four exams to study for, and a research paper to write...all within
the next two weeks. I don't care about the
Christmas-present-tradition, and don't really want to put-up
our tree this year.
I'm a wife, mother of a five-month-old son, full-time student,
and have a house, two cats and two dogs to care for. I'm
exhausted, experiencing severe morning joint-pain (I'm only 25)
and have a headache most of the time. I don't want to be
a scrooge, but I have no time or energy for seasonal
excitement.
The real question, I guess, is: How do I pretend to be in seasonal
bliss when I don't even have time or energy to shave my legs or
cut my nails?
I'm new to this whole mother, and home-owner thing; so I guess
I am looking for some advice.
Am I just a fuddy-duddy, or do all moms feel like this?
