Surviving the Domestic Jungle

Life is such an interesting journey that it never ceases to amaze me. There are so many ups and downs and twists and turns and it really is never dull. Some days a little dull would be ok and a few less downs would be nice but I guess you have to take the good with the bad. I try my best to roll with the punches but some punches are just too big and too hard. When I feel down, it feels so strange to me because I am not a ‘down’ kind of person. I am generally happy and content but every so often, I have days where I want to climb in my bed, ignore my responsibilities and just cry. I know I have super raging hormones right now which add to feeling sad but even not pregnant, I just have those days where life sucks. I easily rebound when I realize what a gift and humor filled ride life is. I love irony and the element of surprise that life has to offer. One time the phone rings, your life could change. One knock on the door, one chance encounter with a stranger or even one commercial on tv! The twists and turns that get you to where you are today are what make you interesting and give you stories to tell. Some days you may not like your story but ultimately, it is your story. I like my story (most parts) and it always amazes me the twists I have had in my life. Especially when I think about meeting my husband. The likelihood of a baby girl being born in northern Canada and a baby boy being born in Texas and ending up meeting decades later and falling in love is just one of those stories where you want to know how you got from point A to point B! I suppose when life gets you down, just think of the positive things it has presented to you and believe that more will come your way because what goes down, must come up and down again and then up again…..
