I’m pretty sure this is the longest I have gone without writing. At least in a long, long time. It’s like I forgot I even had a blog. We were gone all day long every single day and then we would get home late, put the kids to bed, watch Brian exercise and be so tired I could barely make it up the stairs.
One night, I even stayed up until 12:24 IN THE MORNING.
I know.
My life, oh this crazy life of ours, will hopefully be returning to normal tomorrow. So much happened this weekend beyond the funeral, (which was perfect, thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers), so much good but also so many bad, negative things that make my heart hurt. Things I can not speak of here because it’s not mine to tell. It’s just not good.
Today felt lighter and brighter, despite the rest of my family heading back to their home all over the United States. I miss my brothers and sisters and their wives and husbands and kids so much. I hate living so far away from them. This afternoon, I took a beautiful nap, I was so tired and slept so hard.
Pregnancy, death, drama, trauma, it’s all so exhausting.
So, tomorrow we return to the mounds and mounds of laundry, school lunches, grocery shopping, homework, school forms that we are endlessly filling out and regular life…I’m ready for it. I am so ready for it.
sometimes the negatives so perfectly fit in with the positives in life … to make the positives shine more bright.
other times? they just suck. big time.
thinking of you…
“Pregnancy, death, drama, trauma, it’s all so exhausting.”
So, so true – especially about pregnancy. Hope you can get some rest.
Oh the school forms! And I only have one in full time school.
Prayers and good thoughts for the “drama and trauma” parts…
I’ve missed you.
Good to have you back. I hate drama too, I’ve got a lot of it these days.
Let’s hope for some drama-less days ahead!
Death doesn’t always bring out the best in people. I saw some amazing stuff I’ll never forget when my brother died. May God’s grace take you through this.
Miss you muchly.
Steph
Also on the missing you boat.
Hopefully your life will be a little mundane for a while – not such a bad thing!
Here’s getting back to normal…or something like it.
Yes, Little Girl, it’s been a wild ride and I think we’re all ready for some normalcy. I’d offer to help with the mounds and mounds of laundry but I probably have more than you so …… sorry. Anyway, the drama and trauma, unconnected to the death, will resolve eventually on a very positive note and that’s good. In the meantime, take a deep breath and take care of Beth.
Life gets like that at times, doesn’t it? Take a rest if you can. In between all the laundry.
I have nothing to offer but a hug, and love.
Hope refreshment is coming to you soon.
I am keeping you in my prayers Beth. Dealing with pain and drama is not a good time. I hope your week is calm and restful!
(((beth)))
so excited for your announcement! I’m actually due in April too! April 1 (yea, sigh, I keep hearing that joke…I’m considering changing my due date to April 2 just to stop hearing that joke). Whee! I’ve juuuust starting not feeling totally aweful sick. Good luck! Here’s hoping for that magical 13th week!
Missed you so much! Sending ((((((hugs)))))) your way for everything going on.
I hate drama too… it just casts dark clouds over sunny days…
Get some rest and enjoy getting back to “regular” life!
I hate drama – unless it involves costumes, stages, curtains, scripts and props.
Good luck getting back to a “regular” schedule and get some rest lady!
Welcome back…We’ve missed you!
