Jennie’s experiences remind me of my own.

One thing I learned was that in the first few days of parenting, flowers aren’t so helpful. I mean we had a baby to take care of for Pete’s sake, how could we be expected to tend to some other organism. Food was very helpful, but flowers were less helpful.

Now I appreciated the flowers, I really did, but a boquet of pork chops would have been more practical.

Now I remember, a walk will calm me down.

I am feeling better for the moment although it was an all too short walk. I am leading up towards needing a two week walk.
