   How did you know that Hashem wanted you to lay down rather than read a story to that child?

     because (I think) taking care of myself creates the most good, because:
     1. I feel so much better
     2. I can be a better wife
     3. better mom
     4 better hostess to my guests

     if I forced myself to read the story then while a little good might come of it–over the course of the whole evening MUCH more good comes from some self-care than forcing my tired self to read a story:)

   I watched your video and I totally get this. I recently gave birth to our eighth baby and I get this. Right now the best thing I can give my family is a rested happy mom. Not a stressed out mom. Thank you for sharing.
