Amanda's (my coworker) mom has H1N1 and a 104 degree temp that hasn't gave way yet.
I am under the weather. Which makes me tired and emotional. Still fighting this crappy head cold junk. But I can't sleep. Which makes me a head case. So many thoughts racing through my brain. Stellan (My Charming Kids Blog) is in an induced coma and on a ventilater. And tomorrow he turns 1. That's just not right. No kid should go through in a lifetime what he has gone through in one year. He is little. He is sweet. He is innocent.
It makes me think of my cousin Seth. I miss him dearly. It's been a little over 7 yrs since he left us here on earth at the young age of 2.5yrs old. It's so not fair....Life.....but at the same time it is so beautiful....and crazy. So many emotions that God equipped our bodies with. When God made me he must have installed an extra huge emotions part. There are days that I swear the weight of emotions I feel from other people might kill me. Some of the people I know...some are strangers. It's that OCD perfectionism part of me that makes me want to fix everyone's problems. Make things perfect. But that's not possible. So I have to remember all the good..........and Just Smile.
These girls make each other smile....oh and me too
Stupid, silly moments with my girls......make me smile
This girl....with this hair...makes me smile
This girl...with these eyes...make me smile
My Fat Baby Cowboy Boots.......make me smile
And smores with my Hubby......make me smile
Kate...I know it's been rough..but you're right..you have so many reasons to smile. You're an amazing mother, friend and I'm sure Dana would agree with me when I say wife. (Not that I know personally!!;) I've never even met you face to face, and yet I consider you such a good friend. You are always doing something fun and new with your girls, with your house, and whatever else you have time to fit in with your busy work schedual! I'm like you...I'm extra emotional, too...so I know exactly how you feel when that weight comes on. It's not always fun...but like you said..God gave us these emotions for a reason..so we just as well put them to good use!! ;) Anyways..always remember that you're an amazing person and you're loved by soooo many people! Hopefully that in itself will help to put a smile on your face, too!
