there are times when life is so overwhelming and unbearable, i have no idea how i am going to make it through the next 5 minutes, let alone a whole life! and the last two weeks have been the hardest ones my mind can remember in years. and somehow, i woke up today and felt a smile. just a little one.
it might have something to do with the fact that next weekend, memorial day weekend, i am getting my first vacation since before wesley was born. i am talking about a “no little boy” vacation. it is a “just gen and her friends” vacation. and it is so completely needed for my sanity. really. i lost my mind last week. thought i needed to go into an asylum. thank goodness it was a false alarm. but, i learned that i must, MUST take better care of myself. those of you that know me know i don’t do that well. and it is time. because i can’t lose my mind. because, well, i just can’t.
and i am going to make t-shirts that say “HOLLER.” and “SHUT THE DOOR!” on them. just for fun. Because those are my favorites right now.
