Bed rest is hard. Especially for a stay at home mom who is used to doing everything to keep her home in order, family fed, laundry clean, and everyone happy. But when you are on bedrest there are so many things you can't do. So who do these responsibilities fall to?
Well, in my house the only other one capable of doing them is my husband. But he works five days a week, 9 hour days. So when he comes home cleaning up the house is the last thing he feels like doing. And the thing he resents most.
So how do I reconcile the need to stay in bed with the need to clean my house? Do I do what I know will bless my husband or do I do what the Drs have told me to -stay in bed? I haven't come to any working conclusions yet but I am learning very quickly that this bed rest thing isn't going to make my husband very happy.
My prayer today is that God will take care of me and Clara no matter what I end up doing in this situation. Hopefully we will come to a working compromise soon. For now, I will have to get out of bed and do a little laundry and wash a few dishes and pray that God protect us that much more.
If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to them. :)
