feel like they're falling off.
Something has gotten under my skin, and I'm not sure what. But I'm feeling seriously off and it's bugging me. Last night I stayed up past midnight reading, but I didn't really enjoy it.
I think I'm struggling to feel normal in any sense, and anticipating Josh's return is really exciting but also feels kind of like a ticking bomb. As soon as he's back, I can fall apart? It sure seems like I'm threatening to do it once I see him again. With his needing as much strength and support as I can give him, I'm feeling sucked dry more and more at the end of each passing day.
Any suggestions? I'm trying to keep up with my personal prayer and scripture study, and I'm taking time to do nice things for myself, but I'm feeling like the mom role is escaping me today.
Oh, well. Persevere. I'll make it through. And hopefully within the week I'll see my husband again.
Sorry for the downer post. I'll be happier tomorrow.

Go for a walk. It really helps me. If you can go all by yourself, that would be wonderful
Thanks for the post about family work. I skimmed through the article and all sorts of happy memories of picking nectarines and tomatoes and string beans came flooding back. So much so that I had to start writing about them. Writing helps me tremendously. When I write I untangle my emotional hiccups.
Is it sunny where you are? I've felt like a vampire earlier this week--what with staying in bed with a cold and the weather. Today is sunny and beautiful and being out in the sun is just delicious.
If none of the above are options (finding the time and quiet to write might be hard as a mom, and the sun is not really all that generous this time of year), I would recommend a good hot soup and warm socks. I've put my favorite soup recipe on my blog.
