for the mum's - a lovely suprise

Being a mum is tough - especially when things don't go the way you need them to in order to cope. I have had a particularly hard time coping lately and you only have to speak to me to work it out. I knew Asher was getting a bit restless and so I was thinking we needed to just stay home for a week and get back into routine but by Wednesday morning I thought I was ready to venture out and go to the mum's group I go to, which was starting back up for the year that day. All was going well, I thought I was on top of things and I walked in there looking forward to catching up with the girls.

However, after just 5 minutes of arriving one of my friends asked "So, how are you going Debbie?". A seemingly innocent question and as I started to give the usual response of "Yeah, good thanks." I got the word "Yeah" out and with it rushed a flood of tears!!! I was actually really shocked because I didn't know where they had come from, but after some chatting with the other mums I realised just how much I had actually bottled it all up. It's not really like me to bottle my emotions like that so you can understand why I was kinda miffed.

Anyway, I went away feeling somewhat lighter after talking and having a cry, but the week continued to be a pattern of me feeling really stressed and angry and poor Asher was copping it. Although, I must say that his behavior didn't help the situation, as you will have read in the past few posts.

Fast forward to tonight, walking in the door from church the phone was ringing and it was my friend Bec, who runs the mum's group. We chatted for a bit and then she dropped it on me... "A few of us from mum's group want to send you for a massage." My mind raced for an appropriate response but again the tears didn't fail me... out they came with "Oh really? Thank you!!!"

So, that is my lovely suprise... A huge thank you to you girls! I am so seriously blessed to have such wonderful friends who care.
