After yesterday's somewhat "dark" day, we all needed a little bit of sun. Lucky for us, God blessed us with a beautiful Chicago spring day (well, morning at least- it got cold in the afternoon). We took full advantage and ran an errand to the plant nursery and had lunch and park-playtime with some friends. I think all of us needed to exhale and then breathe deep the fresh smell of spring. It was refreshing to the soul. And even though Lucas had a near-meltdown at naptime, it was still a very good day. And I will take them however I can get them. :)
Oh, and one more thing. Thank you to all of you who sent encouraging comments and e-mails my way today. I can always depend on y'all to pick me up out of my slump and give me some fresh perspective. It helped me see that Lucas and I are really doing ok. We have a very special bond, my son and I. And if I can just learn to stay calm when my frustration starts to build, it will go a long way in teaching him how to do the same. And that will make life better for everyone. Thanks y'all. Love to you!

ReplyDeleteI was just telling Elizabeth (when she was out here on a whirlwind visit last weekend) about how blessed I've been seeing you several times this past year - and also of some of what we were "visiting" when you were out here all those years ago (cough cough, the real world house, for one! Ha ha). I hope sometime soon we can play with your boys in the SoCal sunshine!
I love you and miss you!

ReplyDeleteFarrah, staying calm in the face of frustration is my biggest challenge as a mother. I think most moms deal with this on some level. Hang in there, you are an amazing mama!!
