Some days I find myself feeling like this:
And yet I know,cathartic though it may be,
a good scream won't change what is going on in my life.
I've been feeling this way A LOT lately.
It is hard to live for months
with all your belongings packed away.
It is hard to be both pregnant and raising your first baby
under the constant eyes of others
(not that these eyes are harsh--they just add a daily audience).
It is hard to own a home that is not yet fit to live in.
And I could go on...
BUT,
is my life really that hard?
This is the question
I have been trying to ask myself more often.
Hmm.
Let me look at my list of complaints again.
It is wonderful to have a FREE place to live,
allowing us the funds to purchase all of our appliances.
It is wonderful to have others to help me with my little one
while I am pregnant.
It is wonderful to own a home that will SOON be fit to live in.
And I could go on...
PERSPECTIVE.
This is one of my major goals for this new year.
Hopefully a good dose of it will help me feel like this more often:
1. perspective
2. contractors coming through
3. trips to Ikea

We can sympathize with both your blessings and challenges! Unfortunately, we won't be able to sympathize in person; UMass-Dartmouth isn't going to invite me for a campus visit, so my candidacy there is over. Sorry! Would've been wonderful to be neighbors.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: You are a TROOPER, Kimmie! And you're doing great!!
By the way, that picture of you screaming reminds me of the picture of Dorothy screaming, from your January 1st blog, where she's wearing her red Christmas outfit ;)
I SOOOOO understand!
Perspective is a good thing! Cute pic ;-)
