Who likes to be all stuffed up? No one likes to be stuffed up. No one likes to be sick. It is tough when little ones get sick. We know we need to rest, when we feel it coming on. Little ones don’t know they should rest. They may continue to play. They may be miserable. They may be cranky. There are times when we get the sniffles on the inside.
We are cranky, tired, and not feeling well. We don’t rest. We keep going. We don’t take care of ourselves. We don’t realize it, until it is too late. What if we were proactive in our lives? Why do we have to wait until we are run down to rest? Why can’t we just rest when we need to? Parents are notorious for not resting and recharging when they need to.
A parent with sniffles, is not a happy parent. We need to stop and take the time to care for ourselves. Better yet, ask for help. No one will tell up to take time out. We have to give that gift to ourselves. Why wait until it is too late? Why wait until the worst is upon us?
