Today I am on a roller coaster of emotion and I am sitting here with all of these things going through my head...things I wish were different.
Here's what I wish...
Please understand. I know I am beyond blessed. WAY BEYOND BLESSED. Today I am sad....and that's okay.
- I would have never started this blog. While it has been a good outlet to talk about my life and keep people updated it has isolated me from people. I no longer talk to anyone.
- I felt like I had some friends. I am not trying to offend anyone, because I KNOW I have friends. I am just struggling with loneliness right now. I don't know anymore who to call when I need to talk. I can't remember.
- I could use vacation days for myself. I am at the limit on negative now and with the exception of camp I haven't done anything but go to appointments for the boys, court for the boys, and the hospital for eighteen months.
- My sisters could come to the adoptions. While I "get" that they don't live here and it is during the week it doesn't mean I am not disappointed.
- This whole house situation was squared away. We could get moved (or not) and get settled.
- I could send the boys to respite and just stay home and cry...for the whole weekend. I can't do this right now. They are SUCH A MESS about school starting, moving, and the adoption that me being gone for a weekend would push them over an already way too close ledge.
- I could trust God more. I could know things will work out in His timing and I would be okay with it.
- I wasn't tempted to cancel my therapy session over lunch, because I don't want her to see what a mess I am.
- Middle Boy wasn't so attuned to my thoughts and moods. That he could be oblivious and not worry about me.
- I could sleep for an entire night without waking up worried about something.
- I had grown up in a house where it was okay to be sad and not feel guilty about it. Okay to feel any emotion and not feel guilty.
- I wish I knew how to ask for help.
Please understand. I know I am beyond blessed. WAY BEYOND BLESSED. Today I am sad....and that's okay.
Hugs and prayers, Denise. Remember, the emotions are leaves, ever-changing, but you are the tree itself, strong and stable. You will weather this.
Thank you Anne. I appreciate you!!
