subscribeOh Last Week…
June 6th, 2011
Last week was made up of the kind of days you can’t help but appreciate.
Not because they were all the sweetest or best, or most fulfilling. No, by Thursday afternoon I felt as though there was a tornado whirling through my body and I became all panicky but was too tired to set the tornado and feelings free. Things got ugly at times.
In the craziest moments of the craziest days, I look at Ella and think, “Where is my child? And who is this?” In my most frazzled thoughts, I am anxious and hold little patience. And I can’t wait for bedtime. I long for the sun to go down so my babies can end their day.
But sometimes in that crazy moment, I catch a glimpse of its raw and real beauty. And then I can’t help but appreciate the mess I find myself in.
Last week Ant told me I looked like a zombie as I staggered into the kitchen before work.
Last week Ella uninvited me to the party she was throwing for Ant and Poppy and all of her friends. She slammed the door in my face when I tried to join in.
Last week I lost my patience several times in one day. And I called Ant and told him that when he got home, all I wanted to do was lock myself in our room until it was time to come out for dinner.
Last week all I could do was laugh. I was helpless in any other way.
But last week a lot of good and fun and genuine things happened too.
And I am in love with it all.
The good, the bad, but all beautiful.
This week is my birthday week and it is packed full of fun plans already. I’ve also got a lot of catching up to do here on the blog…outfits to share and Poppy’s baptism day, along with family adventures to boot. Busy as a bee, happy as a clam. See you soon!
XoXo, Katy
