Cara: I don't wanna today...

I don't feel like wearing my armour today. OK well, maybe I would if I really looked like her when I wore it...but today I just don't feel like putting it all on. I don't feel like picking up my sword and tying on that cool cape. It's heavy. I just don't think I can muster the energy to walk in it today.
Do you have some of those days when the best thing you can think of doing is just staying in bed? I don't often but today...my pillow and the TV remote sound like a really great idea. It's 4 a.m as I type so you would think that's where I should be right now.
Today I don't want to fight the fight and it seems I have not been able to put that heavy dam sword down much. I don't feel like slaying the dragons that I cannot seem to shake from breathing fire at my heels from at what seems like every turn.
Sometimes people would say they think I need to just lay the sword down and take what comes. Sometimes I wish I could. I take that armour off to maybe go to sleep, but I am roused at 3am and without thinking I am back in it, lugging that dam sword around.
Of course I use the battle analogy for being "Mom" today. I just want to be the lump under the comforter today. Thing is, I don't want to be un-Mom today cause my kids are bugging me. It's their "dragons" that I am tired of slaying, for today at least anyway. Why does it seem that the dragons seem to go away for a bit then one by one they come lurking around, sometimes at the same time? I know when push comes to shove, even on days like this when I am defeated, deflated and just plain tired I will pick up my sword. I always do. But in my heart I just don't feel like it.
Wonder what movies I can watch on Netflix today? That's the only thing I want to worry about today. How do you think that will go? Yeah, I am not too optimistic either.
