Checking in

I know I have left pretty much everyone hanging on how I’m doing. The truth is: I don’t know.

I have great days. Strings of them. And then days like today. I don’t know what it was that set me off, but I’m struggling. I feel blessed, peaceful, and calm for days, and then grief will hit me. Confusion and blame reign in my heart and I don’t know how I’ll get through one more minute feeling this way.

It probably doesn’t help that just about every other aspect of my life is fighting me right now. I am so overwhelmed. I just don’t think I can handle one more thing.

I have those moments in the early morning where I open my eyes, and for one split second I can imagine that everything is the way I want it to be. That everything is fine.

And then I remember.

My heart is broken, but healing. My head is spinning, but more slowly now.

The one thing I know is that I WILL be okay. I’m just not sure when.

Funny things Jacob says part 3

“You, mama! You a hot-e-tay-to!” (Hot potato. No idea where he got that!)
“‘Pider hands and ‘pider foots!” (Spider hands and feet–a funny game where his hands “crawl” on me and I pretend to be scared. Then his feet move around on me and are “‘pider foots.”
“Scupa man!!!” (For a swimming scuba man toy for the bath. When he says it, it sounds like he’s saying “stupid man”)
“Bump truck” (dump truck)
“Toots coming! Open up mine bootie and get mine toots out!”
“What we do a-day, mama?”
