floating

do you ever have one of those days when you feel it?
it's hard to describe...
that feeling where you're there, but you're not, kind of like you're floating around...

sadly, i've felt this way for a few weeks and can't seem to shake it...

we're at this stage with our bathroom where it's a lot of waiting. waiting for mud to dry is like watching a pot of water boil, but it takes so much longer!

my tile! :)

it is difficult when work has been work. and sometimes there are no words.
and i miss their faces so much it makes my chest hurt.

when the various worlds of your life are all chaotic at the same time, it is so draining.
i loathe chaos.
i desperately hate the beginning of change; that fear of the unknown.
then i saw this quote again...

and today... i feel better.
i've come to a point where the change is okay and i can appreciate it.
i know that the next few weeks will be a challenge.
but i'm ready to run with it, not float through it.

i started this post last saturday (and yes, it has taken me this long to finish it!)
i wanted to take a minute to celebrate the milestone that was sunday...
one year ago, i started this blog. i entered this world of the unknown.
of sharing my thoughts, feelings, and experiences to anyone who stumbles upon this little blog.
i love sharing all of the fun we have as a family.
sometimes i need to write. i feel so much better afterwards.
i just need that opportunity to vent and share.
thank you to my loving friends for encouraging me to take this giant step one year ago.
the beginning seems so long ago.
there are some blog entries that i can replay in my head...they just linger...
each and every day i am reminded of those little blessings within our struggles.
i just have to remember to keep going...
to keep moving forward...
to just keep swimming....
and it will all turn out the way it should. (just like in the disney/pixar movies)
