I took pictures of the good stuff this week.
But behind the good, there was some very hard stuff.

June 16: I like the age when they can go out and play without needing much from me. The week starts out Ok.

June 17: I have three for breakfast today since cousin Lilly is here. I also get the phone call telling me about my job transfer to 8th grade ELA. This day is hard.

June 18: Happy anniversary to us! nine years strong! (I also had a pre-cancerous spot frozen off my face).

June 19: Even though I have a very hard day, this one knows when I need a smile. He put on my glasses and said, “I Momma!!”

June 20: It’s birthday party prep day! Eddie is excited for cousins and friends to come play in the pool!
I’d like to say I am facing all of these challenges and emotions with remarkable aplomb.
I’d like to say I am proud of how I am handling it all.
But I am not.
So.
I’m not sure what to do other than just keep breathing.
Sometimes, just being, and just breathing, is enough. Hugs, my friend. It’s June 23 in my part of the world, so Happy Birthday to Eddie!
One of the reasons I love your blog is because you’re so honest. Life isn’t always pretty and you’re not afraid to share the ugly. When you’re breathing, you’re progressing. Always.
