Forgive me as this may be a more honest look into my heart than you might want...
(or really feel free to skip reading this all together and go to my next post where there are some cute pictures of my kiddo in a graduation hat) :)
Life right now feels in a word....
(okay, well that's four words...forgive me.)
I'm feeling stressed about life in general, much more so than usual.
Stress about the house selling in time...
stress about being a good mom...
about getting enough sleep...
about whether or not my 5year old will ever recover from this time in our lives...
about whether or not I will recover
Moving is just stressful. No way around it.
To be fair, there are many things I'm looking forward to.
I've already planned to squeeze my homesick lemons into lemonade that tastes like sunsets, warm sand, palm trees and lazy Sunday afternoons. And truthfully, I like that lemonade. But this weekend, the protective barrier I've been building of making the best of raising my family away from (some of) those I love is being challenged.
I'm really ultimately hoping that maybe you can have the best of both worlds. Where sometimes it's hard, but most of the time you make it work. Where being home and going home mean two different things but somewhere in between, there's a happy middle.
I'm convinced we'll find it, whatever it is.
But for today... (break for a long sigh)
Today I need to figure out how to sweeten the current batch of lemonade we're mixing.
Because really, a good glass of sweet lemonade might just help with all the stress.
