I swear to you, I am absolutely aching to write. Between drugs and boys though, I haven't had time or energy or even the mind but today the odds are good that it will happen at some point.

It is a beautiful Sunday morning and there have been pancakes and bacon and clothes-changing and a dance party and I've got laundry going and suddenly, I realize that no, I am not feeling quite that good at this moment and perhaps it is time to go lay down again or is lie down again? Oh, I don't know. I should know, I probably do, but anyway, it is time to rest and Boppy has the boys outside to tend to chickens and give me a little break and he's been wonderful. Just the best grandfather anyone could ever want and the boys have been wonderful too and my mouth doesn't hurt so very much, and the bleeding has long since stopped but...
Yes.
Rest.

  1. Thank-you for an attempt at correct grammar. Poor grammar is one of my pet peeves.

    It's "lie" down. And at least you're aware that there is a difference. "to lay" is a transitive verb. Meaning there has to be a "something" in there. (A direct object, but let's not get technical) A hen "lays and egg". You can "lay yourself" down, but that's rather stilted.

    So yes, do go and lie down.

  2. My daughter had oral surgery a couple of years back and I had oral surgery a little while back, too, i wrote about it on the blog, and baby, it takes a minute to get back to yourself. it can be subtle, you start to feel better, and then, just as you say, you need your bed again. rest, hon. we'll be here. lie in your comfy bed and listen to the sounds of your boys and that big tall wonderful man who has you covered.

  3. I had oral surgery when I lived in Tally. Impacted wisdom teeth. I was down for a week. Take your time and rest, for sure.

    Thinking of you.

  4. Don't push yourself, don't overdo it. Plenty of time to do all that stuff once you are on the mend.
    Nevertheless, speedy recovery!

  5. It feels so good to feel good and it makes us want to get up and do things but yes, rest. Then sleep. Then get up and go rest.

  6. You can lie down or you can lay yourself down, but either way it feels good. I love you.
