rambling addendum to my previous post
I just realized that my last post probably makes it sounds like I'm NOT doing well.
Really, friends, I think I'm okay. Today has been hard, I'm sure because it's a one week anniversary, and we tend to think in weeks, months, anniversaries. And because today is the first day we haven't had wonderful company to distract us. So the whole 'normal day' thing is a little different, being just us again.
So don't read too much into the other post. Really, I think we're doing okay. Normal ups and downs. Nothing to freak out about.
Also ...
I don't know who invented the idea that junk food makes you feel better when you're down, but it's not true. After spending the day indulging in junk food of several kinds I can testify that, really, it doesn't make you feel any better.
Not that that'll stop me from finishing off the m&m's.
Okay, now you can read the previous post.
I didn't add this to the front of it because it was long enough already. I was skimming it after I posted it (not checking for grammar or typos, though, so you'll have to alert me to those) and thinking, "Gee WHIZ, she yammers on and on. Enough already!"
which this post will make you think, soon, too.
if I don't
aburptly
stop

Posted by: kelly at April 25, 2007 6:39 PMaburptly? You really have eaten too much junk food. ;-)
Our plants went from nothing to blossom this past week too. My daffodils are really short, probably from being snowed on, and then blooming in the space of just a few days. Poor things.

Seriously, I may start a support group....

Posted by: Christina at April 25, 2007 9:47 PMI agree with you on the Junk food. But I'm not sure if M&Ms are junk food. Aren't they chocolate which is another category? The junk food tastes good for about the first couple of bites then the good feeling just doesn't last. Like getting a McDonald's shake which sounds so good but then after a couple of sips, it ain't so good after all.
I guess I'm just babbling too. Sorry to hear that you are down. You deserve to be. It's going to take a while. But you don't have to apologize to us for taking your time!

you are so cool and it just bugs me that you live so far away. *kicks dirt*
no need to apologize for /anything/ !
Posted by: Staci at April 25, 2007 11:28 PMNo, M&Ms, although being "vitamin M", really don't help. But getting all the feelings out, good and bad, really does.
Like a friend of mine says, "Feelings are like feet. You gotta air 'em out every so often or they stink up the place."
And don't worry about the math. There'll be an '07 baby in heaven, and the math will all work out there.
Life is good. Eternal life is better.

Posted by: Liz at April 26, 2007 10:43 AMJust to let you know that I'm still praying. And I won't ask you how you're doing. And I do understand about the birth years.
