365 days 17-18

1-31-12

If he's going to be sick and crabtastic, at least he makes it worth it by also being adorable.

2-1-12

Overwhelmed, terrified, exhausted, slightly relieved and completely livid. I'm trying to convey all that, but I think it's safe to say I didn't miss my calling as a model.
This 365 thing is saving my blogging and sanity so far this year.  If there are aspects of my life I cannot discuss right now, at least I can say SOMEthing.  Tonight I'm in knots about working with the youth at church.  When I was a teen, I had my own troubles in that sector.  I know I handled things back then - and it was awful.  I have no idea how to handle things from the opposite side of things, especially because I'm so emotional about it.  And let's be honest - everything.   I can't have a calm rational conversation about most things, and I predict that if I do try to address things, it will be a disaster.  blalarhrhhhhghggggg.
In other news, I have been trying to change my hair - like cute braids, buns, whatever, and they all looked wrong.  I thought  the wrong was all my hair, but I realized it was my face.  So now I need a new face.  Dagnabit.
Now, so as to not be a total downer, I got sleep last night!  Except for at 11pm when I was awakened by WonderGirl sobbing loudly.  When I got to her bed and asked her what was wrong, she told me it was because she missed me.  I kissed her and tucked her back in.  Crawling back into my own bed I didn't feel as exhausted as I could have been.  I mean, I mean the world to one of the coolest little girls there is.  That's kind of cool :)

Just take it a breath at a time. This limbo stuff is definitely for the birds, that's for sure.

oh reva.

i'm a counselor in yw and find this THE HARDEST calling of all my 12 years as a married woman. {and i was primary pres for 3 years} but it's hard emotionally, and physically and mentally. and it's funny {not funny haha but funny STRANGE} because i don't remember our yw leaders sweating and wondering what they should say or stressing out as much as I STRESS OUT EVERY DAY for these young women. holy crap.

HEAR YE. I need to document the fact that I ran 3 miles and didn't feel like death.  So just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, I did...
