What a weekend, I got the podcast online at spotify and youtube, the links will be at the bottom. Yesterday and today have been rough, it seems like the baby has some sort of stomach bug and she struggling to eat. Last night she threw up in her bed and now the whole rooms smells, I did my best to air it out this morning, wash everything, and spray lots of air freshener. We’re supposed to close on the house this afternoon which will be a relief to be done with though we’re not exactly celebrating with a sick kid. This morning I was walking around around the yard, still clearing out fallen tree branches when I realized there’s no reason to do that anymore. This time next week we’ll be packing the house onto a truck saying goodbye. Bittersweet is the best word I have for the situation, I don’t really know what part is bitter and what is sweet at this point, I know there’s a whole lot of emotions going on. Staying calm is the best I can do, but the baby is my weakness. I’m always saying, “No free lunches” and I expected this to be the same. Keep my head low, push through and tend to the baby, this too shall pass. Soon it will be Spring, we’ll be enjoying our lives again looking for new challenges because what else can a person do? If you don’t seek out struggle, it will find you, at least continuing to challenge myself makes me stronger though I do look forward to a long rest someday to regain my strength. I was doing sets of push ups this morning and life was gettings stressful, so that can wait until some other time. Please check out the podcast and let us know what you think.
