This last week has been intense on many levels. I have felt frustration, anger, joy and sadness. I have also felt lost and a sense of failure. Not only that, but I felt behind the ball and overloaded.
But in the midst of all of this inner turmoil, my daughter and partner have reminded me that life still has joy, and maybe I am not such a failure. I took Jackie to Denny's her favorite. Coloring in the menu is serious work.
On the third, we watched Independence Day. I might have told Jackie it was a historical documentary... Shelby and I were both a bit worn out and a night at home sounded nice. It really was.
On the fourth, we spent time with Shelby's parents and lit off some fire works. Then we went to Lehi and spent time with Shelby's sister's family. We watched the fireworks and made the long drive home.
On Saturday, Jackie and I went to the humane society and met some dogs. On Saturday night, Shelby made a great pasta dinner. We played a new game called Trash Panda and read a bedtime story.
Today we went to the Zoo. The polar bears were very active. Jackie had a blast. Shelby and I had Jackie from last weekend to next. It was nice to have more time with her. I am blessed with a partner that loves my daughter. Even when I am stressed, and I feel like I am falling apart, Jackie and Shelby always help ground me and remind me that maybe I am not doing so bad after all.
