Yesterday, I was cluggin' along doing fine. No worries. Happy as a clam. Then my husband came home from work and he started talking about some things that are going on with another family at the CG Station. It wasn't bad news for that family and I am not sure I want to talk about what upset me so much or why I was so upset. I just was. Sad. I got very sad.
Well, then there is Evelyn. Who noticed I think, and she was luminous, smiling, sitting on my lap, talking quietly to me, telling me I am her best girl in the whole world. Oh how much did that help? I can not explain. I was still a little sad and had not had a chance to really get it out, except in a call with my Mom (how much did she help? ALOT) and lets just say that I had a little more than a single phone calls worth....So later when Ev was asleep, I crept into her room and hugged her sleeping body to me and I cried. I cried grateful tears and tears of joy and then I felt better.
I awoke today thinking that the tender little girl from the day before would be around.
I could not have been more wrong.
I went from clutching her to me in wondrous adoration to, ummm sitting on my hands to keep from shaking the rotten-ness right out of her. In 24 hrs or less.
Gotta love Motherhood.
