I’ll admit that I feel like the wind has been knocked out of me. After a bit of a difficult day yesterday with the build, today has been almost as frustrating, and I have spent the better part of today feeling discouraged. What I CAN say is that today has been better than yesterday! I’ve completed a few things on my list, which I really had to psych myself up for, but it feels good to have accomplished at least a couple of small things. I made some calls, scheduled a few things, and I did several days worth of dishes. SO thankful we’ll have a dishwasher again at our new place! Besides my small but relevant accomplishments, the kids slept in nicely, and I can tell they’re working hard to behave, as I’m rocking my emotions on my sleeve :/ I appreciate my kids so much. They are incredibly sensitive.
That being said, I hid from the kids for a little while and called my mom. I had a bit of a rant to her, which she handled so very gracefully, supportively, and prayerfully. What a relief it is to have a friend in my mom <3 She never once told me to just buck up and blow past everything. She let me feel how I feel and encouraged me to take my feelings to God. She’s basically a rockstar.
I was then blessed again, by a friend. Right when I got off the phone with my mom, I had a Facebook message waiting for me that made me feel excited and uplifted. Even though it was not directly related to me at all, hearing positive things just made me feel lighter.
While I’m not feeling 100% awesome today, I’m working hard to see the good in the day. It is Friday, after all! And tomorrow, I get to disappear for a couple of hours and get my hair redone! So I can look all fresh and new for when the baby comes. Because that is SOOOOON!!!!!
