...My Parents

Day 83
There have been plenty of times in my life where my parents have annoyed me. There have been many more times in my life where I've needed my parents and they have been there to help. The past couple of months haven't been the easiest and I've been struggling mentally and emotionally. I've felt inadequate because I haven't been able to pull my own weight around the house and even at work. When I found out I would be having this surgery to remove a cyst from my ovary I knew it was time to call my parents. Danny has been doing such a great job of juggling it all but I wanted him to have a little break and of course my kids always enjoy a visit from my parents.

Isn't it funny how a visit from your parents can instantly put you into kid mode even when you are an adult with kids of your own, you can suddenly feel like you don't have any responsibilities anymore. My parents got here yesterday and it has been so nice to have them around. They have occupied the kids so I could rest. My mom made dinner last night and today they attended a basketball game. Even if all they did was come and sit around, I still would have felt like a kid again.

Tomorrow they will head home but I am thankful for the time that we got to spend with them this weekend. Even in my thirties, it feels good to have my parents take care of me.
