Hibernation

Miles was talking to Quinn the other day about how he was eating so much lately. He said, I even finished my whole lunch. Maybe I'm getting ready to hibernate. Then after thinking for a minute he says, I'll bet mom would like to hibernate all summer.

Sometimes I get sad thinking about how the boys think of me as sleeping all the time. Other times I think I'm glad they understand I need to rest. I guess I wish I didn't NEED to sleep/rest all the time. A nap is fun when it is a luxury. When it becomes a necessity it gets old. Many times there are actually things (like cleaning the house) that I really want to do or feel I need to do and just don't have the energy. Or, I push through and then pay the price for weeks. It just makes me sad sometimes.
