This has been a rough week. A really rough week. One of those dump-a-load-of-salt-into-all-your-wounds kinds of weeks. My day-to-day world ran pretty smoothly this week. Photo shoots, well-checks for our giant babies, dinner with friends, playful kids, training, the things that might normally stress me out... that side of it went well actually. It was the inside that hurt. The part I couldn't prepare for. And honestly, with the exception of a few breakdowns, I think I handled it fairly well. And I think that was only because of some of the rockin people in my life. They got me thru it, without a doubt. They were there for me when I needed it most and some of them don't even know it.
P's (yes, Mom... I'm using it again. It's easier than typing out three other names.)- You always seem to show up at *just* the right time. Even a silly little text at just the right moment can turn my night around when I'm feeling dark and twisty. I am so thankful for your love and loyalty.
GG- Your sweetness could not have come at a better time. I know I have worked your ears to death this week. THANK YOU for listening. I'm looking forward to a fun distraction over the next couple of days!!
Jen- I have occasionally been using you to keep my mind of things this week and you don't have a clue. Glad you could be of service, lol.
Mom- Thanks for letting me vomit on you. Twice. I'm trusting that you will clean up the mess and throw it away permanently.
Narby- my BFF. I hope I was there for you this week as much as you were for me. Birds of a feather, dude. I love you. So sorry our viewing party was a bust. Still glad you were here.
Last, but not least... Nath- THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR MY AMAZING HUSBAND. There was SO much going on this week and you never ever let go of my hand (well, I mean, except for when you did but a man's got to work, I get that), but you checked on me whenever you could- even if it meant borrowing someone else's phone- and it meant so much. You were everything I needed you to be. I hope you know how grateful I am that you are YOU and we are WE. You know. I love you more than jello puddin'.
Anyway, you all know how I am about confrontation (and yes, Nathan and Clint, THIS is confrontational TO ME). I am not so good at the words out loud. But I am eternally grateful that each of you exist in my life! Thank God for good friends and ice cream. I am really hopeful that some time with Ben & Ginny and 15 miles on the pavement this weekend will give me a chance to catch my breath.
If not, I will talk to you next week!
... mostly kidding. =)
