Happy Birthday to you, and all the November babies.

FWIW, my DD was born three weeks after her due date. About this time of year, I start telling her that if she had only been on time, she could have a boatload of birthday gifts by now. Lately, I've been telling her that her tardiness is going to keep her from getting her driver's license as quickly as she wants. This usually results in my getting bopped with a pillow, but it's well worth it.

Sigh. I asked her what she wanted for her gift this year, and she said that she wanted for all of us to go on a trip. Her face fell the moment she finished saying it, because there's no way in Hell that I'm able to go anywhere at the moment and she knows it. I feel like a total slime for making my kid feel guilty about wanting to be with us for her birthday.

It's so tough. Her friends think she's the most privileged kid they know, because she has _all_ the goodies, computers, clothes, whatever material things she wants. But she has to live with the day to day yuckiness of having a useless mom, and the knowledge that I won't be around forever. No kid should have to face their parent's mortality every single day, and I hurt for her.

This surprised me. She is priveleged to have the goodies, but I think the bigger privelege is living with a wize mother.

My step son is very materially indulged by his mother, but I feel so sorry for him because: He doesn't know he's priveleged materially. His mother is a control freak. Also dominating/protecting/castrating. I'm really pissed that she sent him here when she got married, AND didn't tell him. He is uncomfortable trying new ideas, especially if they might conflict with hers. And on and on.

I'd have to say your DD is doubly extra priveleged.

hey!! hey, you, Kathy!!! That's BS, because you are not useless, you are very FAR from it. You just can't do all you want, that's VERY different and you know it.

And part of every one of us ever becoming adult is knowing our parents won't be around forever. She's had higher quality Mom-ing for more time than many folks already, and you aren't dead ye'........ Sarajane

OMG - you are ***far*** from useless, and I am sure your daughter knows that and sees that every single day. She knows how lucky she is to spend her time with you. You are a fabulous mom. No matter how hard it is to get around, and no matter how ill you are sometimes, you still find the time and have the desire to do these amazing things for your daughter and PT daughter. It amazes me.

If I could walk across the room, I would. It's so disheartening to compare the woman I am now with the woman I've always been. The real me doesn't get winded sitting in a chair, beading. I want to be the person I always was, but my body isn't cooperating.

A big part of my funk is the Prednisone. I'm on huge doses again, and it does a number on me, physically and mentally. Between the Prednisone and the lack of air, I'm not exactly the life of the party today.

OTOH, Bob and DD got great pictures of the lunar eclipse. It was cold, so they sat in the car in the driveway, and took photos at five minute intervals. (I looked out through the bedroom window) I'll post them later today for those who were blocked by cloud cover. They also saw a cluster of shooting stars (Bob claims they were UFOs), which they found very exciting.

Ah well, time for a nap. I'll be back later on. Don't have too much fun without me. :-)

Kathy, this is so familiar to me. I can't put in even half a days work -- of light work. My mind goes numb from just that little input. I remember back when I could think and remember, at least I remember it vaguely.
