Do you ever have those moments, days, maybe even weeks where enough is just enough? Pardon me while I rant, however the past couple of days have been exactly that for me. It started when a very close friend of mine called to let me know that she has a very rare form of cancer that may require multiple surgeries. This wonderful friend and mother of four said it very matter of factly as though not to give me the chance to have a moment of sadness. Not that I expect the worse by any means, however when you hear/say that word there are a flood of emotions that come over you. What am I talking about, I am not the one that had to hear them coming from their doctor or the one that explains it to her kids. Please pray for my friend that the first surgery will take care of it all and that she and her family are given all the strength in the world.
They deserve many blessings!
On a lighter note...
I often feel, as most mothers do, as though I am being pulled in 12 different directions. Typically I am perfectly okay with that, happy even, because I thrive in orderly chaos. I really do...i love going in several different directions at once, racing from one thing to the next...as long as I have scheduled MYSELF that way. Please do not take it upon yourself to throw a kink in MY CHAOS! I am not interested in going into detail, however it really does do something to my psyche when a wrench is thrown into my weekly activities....i am not sure what that says about me...but boy o boy it does not take much to get my blood pumping. Please ask people before you decide to make plans FOR them.
I also often feel like I need just a couple of more hours in my day - to use with more one on one time with the kids, maybe to have lunch with my Mom, sit and have a conversation with my husband without being interrupted, read a book!
Later I really wanted to discuss my misfortunes about this particular day with my husband, however he was more interested in ranting about his dilemmas (apparently his day was not much better). So of course, I listened, ranted for a bit, than I hung up the phone and thought of how ridiculous I was being....
seriously Julie!
upset because your activities for the day did not go as you would have liked or planned, wishing for more time in a day (uh, not going to happen!) What are you, TWO?!?!
....Be GRATEFUL, THANKFUL....
every once in a while I need a good swift kick in the hi-nee!!
Thank goodness I can give it to myself!
