I am human. And I would be a liar if I said I never had off days...I came home from work tonight, ate dinner, and fell asleep on the couch. I slept ALL night---and now I'm about to actually go to bed. There are a number of things weighing heavy on my heart, the most important of which are my son and my dad, among other things. Lately, stress has kind of balled itself up and hit me in the face. But! Have no fear: Tomorrow will be better. It has to. Because life is only dark if you don't let the sunshine in.
But tonight, I just let the chips fall where they may. I laid low. And it didn't matter that I couldn't get motivated. I didn't work out. I ate a few more calories than I was allotted. And again- it just doesn't matter. Not today. Because you'll have those days. We are all human. And I was overdue. All that really matters is that tomorrow I pull my train back onto the track- and I will.
I'm about to head to bed, say a very long prayer, and then get myself mentally ready to take our Cole for more IV chemo tomorrow morning. (Poor little guy has been SO sick this week.) But for now, I'm sulking. Giving in and taking a break. And that's okay. Life is about balance- and I'll find it tomorrow.
How do you handle stress?

P.S. The Father's Day Parade obviously left me sun scorched. But it was time well spent with my mom, dad, Cole, and the husband! What a great day, in fact!

Another way of looking at it: life is only dark when you don't let the Son shine in. :)
God bless you. I can't even imagine what you must be feeling, especially with regard to your son. But my parents can...I was diagnosed with cancer at age 21 MONTHS...Wilms Tumor/Neuroblastoma. Your son and whole family are in my thoughts and prayers.
yeow! that burn looks like it hurts!
Sending you hugs for you and your son. You're human, and you WILL get back on track.
:-( I'm thinking of your son and your Dad!. Lots of hugs and positive thoughts being sent to you!
That looks painful! But I love your hair. :)
Big hugs chick!
I'm thinking of you and your son. He's a tough little guy to go thru what he has to go thru.
I give myself permission to take a rest day, so I am refueled and ready to get back at it the next day.
Snuggling with the kiddos helps too :)
You needed sleep, you got yourself some sleep. Good on you, babe. Big hugs!!
Ouch!!!!
I am keeping Cole in my thoughts and prayers.
