And the walls came tumbling down…
Author: thenicknick
Nothing about yesterday went as I imagined it would. So, if you’re thinking that I didn’t end up going to the blog meet up, you’d be right. And my reasons were personal.
There was a lot going on with the kids. And the ex. And I had to do that rather than go out.
I don’t mind giving up things. I really don’t. Especially for such an important cause. And I can’t think of a bigger more worthy cause than family.
Speaking of family…
HE was able to spend the bulk of the day with his. His sister who lives in Texas came to visit with her son. And so they all converged on his father. I love that he was able to get in some quality time. Yay! He came home happy and exhausted in a good way.
I’m trying to be happy and exhausted, but mostly, and obviously, I am channeling concerned and overwhelmed. It’s not a good look for me. When I get that way I have a hard time moving forward. I’m not just a planner…I’m also a dweller.
And right now I’m struggling to find my happy. I’m not sure what it’s going to be. What is it that will make me happy? What will sway my mood?
Then I remember…
Yeah, my life has been as series of uphill battles. Still, I climb. I keep moving. *sigh* Better. Getting better.
And while it is completely in my nature to want more, to have more for the family, I need to remember that we have all that we need. We have shoes and clothes, a roof over our heads, and the man I love shares our bed.
Pressing on. Moving forward. Can’t stop. Too much to accomplish. At least now, I’m in the right mindset to do it.

That’s not a fun feeling. I hope everything’s alright.

Aw, hope you are okay my friend, and bummer about the meet-up, but of course family overrides that! And there will be others, I’m sure. Chin up and onward…

Ugh, I’m so sorry! Parenthood, single or not, is consistent in its unpredictability.
