All Better

Here I am, 5 days later, and feeling much better than the last time I posted. And let me assure you, I really am okay. I didn't realize that what I said would warrant 16 responses and 4 phone calls, but it really made me realize how blessed I am to have such great friends and family who care about my well-being. It also made me realize that there are a lot of you who are in the same boat that I am, and that life isn't always as "blog-perfect" as we make it seem. The silly thing, and the thing I can't figure out, is that I'm doing EXACTLY what I want to be doing with my life right now. If someone had asked me at any point in my life what I would want to be doing when I was 26 years old, I would have said, "I want to be a stay-at-home mom." Granted that in my head I had girls instead of boys (which I wouldn't trade for anything now), a house of my own instead of a rented town house with scary neighbors, and was surrounded by my friends and family, but still -- I'm living the dream. I guess I didn't expect the dream to also be the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Wow, that sounded pathetic...and dramatic...and depressing...I'm just going to have to trust that those of you who know me, know me well enough to know that I'm happy and I love my kids! :) And that the great moments, the FANTASTIC moments, the moments I wouldn't trade for anything in the world, happen far more often than the bad ones and make everything worth it. The point of this post -- now that I've rambled on forever -- was to say thanks for all of you who offered me support on a day that I needed it, and to tell you that I'm here when you have days like that. Blog about them! It makes everyone feel better. :)
