I sometimes feel like I’m swimming in a big pond, flailing my arms and only my nose is above the water. Seriously, sometimes life is like that… and that’s currently how I feel.
This past week I did things I’d never imagined myself doing: I googled things like, “Why does my dog have an enlarged prostrate?” I forgot to put a dirty diaper in the pail and came back to one disappeared mess and one happy dog. I shattered a bowl with my serving of apple pie and ice cream inside. I went to the doctor and found out that in ONE month, I’ve gained TEN pounds. That’s a whole baby, folks. And this momma was NOT happy–I held the floodgate of tears back until my car wouldn’t start after my appointment. Then I let loose. Yes, it’s been like that the past few days.
Sure, good things have happened. My in-laws were in town and helped us A TON with renovations. My little one loves his grandparents and enjoys having them read to him.
Good things have happened, yes, but sometimes, you just feel an overwhelming sense of all that’s going not-quite-right and you just breath a huge sigh, and then you sigh again…And again.
Yes, life is like that sometimes.
But even amidst the sighs, I remember my MANY blessings and my heart remembers all the people and things that make it truly blessed.
