Meltdown

It's funny...I've not been feeling well since Sunday--a stomach thing with fatigue and a headache. Tonight after making Troy's lunch for school, I went to get a bottled water from the garage and shut the door on my left middle finger. As if in slow motion or delayed reaction, I sat there, in pain, almost like a little kid who is debating as to whether to cry or not (depending on whether Mom's around to comfort or not) processed everything, and burst into tears. Everyone was upstairs, doing their various things, while I sat there in my kitchen and laundry room and cried. I cried for my finger, I cried because I was tired of feeling so yucky, and I cried because my kitten hasn't come yet. I came upstairs, crying to Don, who wrapped me in his arms, and wrapped my hand (in fact, I'm typing with my right hand right now) to reduce the swelling. Ouch. *Sniff & sigh*

Alas, tomorrow will be a better day. (I know, I sound like Scarlett O'Hara). God is good. Things will work as His will is done. G'night.

Blessings,
Laura

Laura, where did the rating thing come from??? One appeared on my blog as well...hmmmmm

I hope you feel better after your melt down. They are usually good for that:0) I didn't know how to rate your post so I put liked it (the post) but I didn't like that you hurt your finger.

I don't know where the rating thing came from, but I did figure out how to remove it (Layout --> Edit Posts --> Deselect the Ratings checkbox).

Thanks for the kind words...I am better; I'm just tired. In a low right now, but I'll come back up. :)

Hooray for meltdowns! I am quite fond of them and know them well. I think they serve a purpose and can be quite productive--if no one gets in your path while you're having one! :)

Lows are normal and ok. Thankfully, they do not last. Mine lasted about 6 weeks...and I'm not out of it completely.

But, God knows this, understands this, and will never turn His back on you while you are down. Neither will your friends.

XO!
