投稿の詳細: 三が日　First three days of the year

今朝も目を覚ますと
思いのほかの大雪。
比較的湿った雪で
成人式などで、着物の人は
足元が大変でしたね。

親戚の家に呼ばれて新年会で
お世話になりましたが、
此方は腰が重くて、何も
お手伝いできずに申し訳ないな～。
それにしても、女性陣はすごいね～。
料理を作って、出して、片付けて、
…。それに家事全般。正月や
お盆は親戚の分までやっちゃうの
だから。しかも仕事を抱えて。

此方は重くなったおなかを
抱えてゴロゴロしていただけで…。
そう思うんだったら何かしろよって、
心の中で叱責の声が。そうだよね。

We had again relatively heavy snowfall
this morning. It was wet snow and it may
have bothered those who attended the
coming-of-age ceremony.

I spent two days at the relative's
home for a new year gathering.
I felt sorry because I did not do any
help for the party. The women are
great. They prepared the marvelous
party foods, served them and cleaned
them up and other house keepings.
Everyday they do the similar
things and do much more for the occasions
of new year and obon in summer.
What is more, they go to work, too!

Comparing with those industrious women,
I spent hours holding stuffed stomach.
I can here a criticism of inner voice that
I should do any help if I felt so.
I agree with it. No doubt about it!
