Wow I need to get this out so bad. I've been bottling it up. Probably partly because we are smack dab in the middle of a huge life change, just celebrated our 10th anniversary and I turn 30 tomorrow! This time of year is stressful.

We celebrated our 10th Friday and Saturday was Abby and Emma's birthday. Neither of us mentioned it that day but of course we know we're both thinking of it. It was a really nice peaceful day on vacation (no kids).

I haven't even had time to be sad until just now. And then someone posted this on facebook http://drmomma.blogspot.com/2009/08/mothers-last-skin-to-skin-goodbye-saves.html which kick started it all.

I'm feeling very emotional. I am about a week away from my AF...or....I could be pregnant. I am uber stressed out over this really complicated process of selling our house and everything in it.

In any case though. I told DS that we will make a cake for my birthday and Abby and Emma's birthday.

I miss them. I can't believe they'd be kindergarten age already. I can't believe they're still tiny, in a tiny box, buried up on the hill that I never visit. We love them so. I've never stopped wanting them back.

Jeska,

I'm so sorry how you are feeling. I so understand.  You hear things like this and you think why couldn't it be me.  Why? why....why???  It's so f-ing hard some days. 

I'm thinking of you.  (((HUGS))) and happy birthday!

Jeska,
I am so sorry that you are having to deal with everything all at once.  It sucks!  It hit me two days ago that ~Payton~ should be starting kindergarten this week with her boys going to school, & the tears just poured down my cheeks. 
I remember all the stress last year with selling our house also... my only advice is to take a few minutes everyday to just breathe!  Go outside with the kids, let them run and play & just sit, watch them, and take some nice deep breaths. 
This to will pass & you will be onto your new adventures! 
I hope that you find some down time for you to relax.  I hope all goes smoothly with the house, & getting ready for your new journey.  Sending lots of positive, stress-free thoughts!  Fingers crossed for happy news next week as far as AF/pregnancy! 
Happy Birthday also!

~Abby~ & ~Emma~  rain down lots of kisses & hugs on your mommy!  Let her feel your love surrounding her!

Spring signature April 2009

Thanks so much. That's really good advise. I feel so much lighter now that our new home is sitting in the driveway! We'll be moving all this weekend and into next week.
