EMOTIONS.
There are so many different emotions that we can feel.
Sometimes we feel only a few different emotions each day.
Other days....we feel almost all the emotions possible.
This past Saturday was a day FULL of every kind of emotion for Brock, myself and Cohen. You can only imagine, I'm sure. To start the day out, Cohen woke up 2 hours earlier than normal and Brock and I stayed up late the night before. Not a good pair. My pregnant self slept for maybe 5 hours Friday night, and that does not work for me these days. During Cohen's nap time we were over at our friends house. When I put him down for his normal 2 hour nap, he was a little freaked out I think and decided to cry HARD for an hour and 40 mins. {poor boy} Let's just say we, Brock, myself and Cohen, were ON EDGE the whole day. Not communicating well, very defensive, and counting down the minutes until it was bedtime. I cried a few times that day, in a quiet corner just to let it out and not cause more drama than needed. In the moment, I thought to myself "AHHHHH!" If tomorrow is similar, I might just snap.
Thank heavens Sunday was a WONDERFUL day.
These days I am finding I have less patients in a day.
{thank you pregnant hormones}
But you know, we all have a choice what we do with our emotions.
I normally consider myself a pretty patient person, even with an almost 2 year old little boy. But...lately is takes all the I have inside myself to make it through a day with a positive attitude and plenty of patients.
A blessing in disguise, I guess you could call our hard days. Learning experiences that make us stronger and recongnize good days happen more often than we realize.
Opposition is a wonderful thing, I suppose.
But I think I'll pass on having a day like Saturday for awhile.

Hey I'm so sorry about you're emotional day-- and taking care of a 2 year old (and a husband might I add :) on top of being pregnant, I think you are entitled to emotional breakdowns! You're awesome and we're so excited you guys are moving here!
Great post. I always love reading that other people actually have challenging day too. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one (although I know I'm not, but it just FEELS like that) They really are learning experiences. What I need to work on is learning from it and letting it make me stronger instead of becoming weaker and weaker.
If tomorrow is similar, I might just snap.
- I think everyone gets that feeling sometimes
