{emotions}

I'm having one of "those" mornings.
I'm feeling all sorts of emotional.
Let's just blame it on lady hormones.

This week has been rough.
Miss Leighton has been sicker than I've ever seen her.
Miss Carmen is growing up so fast I can hardly keep up.
Mr. Mack seems to be turning into a big kid and no longer thinks I'm cool
The Man is busy with the spring/summer schedule- hence I'm becoming a single parent soon.

I dread all of these things happening.
I'd like to put my little family in a bubble and keep them little forever.
Wouldn't that be great.
I know- so unrealistic. But we can dream right?

Days like today are good for the soul- even if they don't feel very good.
They make me appreciate the little things- they help me put the important things back into perspective.
I woke up feeling content with my simple little life.
Actually I woke up feeling sad, but now I'm feeling better.
It's hard for me to think about these little faces growing up and facing this big world, how I wish I could always have them to myself.

Does anyone else ever feel this way?
Does anyone else ever feel like things are moving so fast and your barely holding on?
No matter how hard I try I can't control time.
I also cannot control my feelings. (Obviously!)

All I need to do is look around and I know that I am not the one in charge.
Heavenly Father knows me better than I will ever know myself.
Thank Heavens.
He is good to me. (He's pretty good to you to- am I right?!)

Thanks for your post today. It's nice to know others feel the same way you do.
I don't have a blog anymore, but some days I feel like your blog post are exactly what I would write on my blog....today especially.
It's hard, scary, and emotional to watch your kids grow up. And to think about their future and the world they are growing up in.
But you are right. We all need to trust in the Lord and rely on him more.

Me me me. I feel that way this week. I am a wreck about Madie and kindergarten. And Slade being old enough to get baptized. And Cammon turning 6 mo next week. And Abbi potty training and talking like a big kid. It is all to fast! I am not ready!

I know those feelings (or at least similar ones:)). I wish I could just freeze time. . . Then some moments I'm not sure how I'll make it to the next; but as corny and stupid as it is, in those " tough moments" i always think of the country song "you're gonna miss this" and it's so true. I'm grateful the Big Man is holding my cards :) sorry things have been rough!

sometimes it just feels good to live in the moment and fully experience your feelings (good or bad). i'm glad you had some nice cuddle time with the kids. i'm sorry that the winds of change are blowing your direction. hang on, anna!
