The Biggest Emotional Rollercoaster
Life certainly has its ups and downs. I have highs and lows in my marriage. Peaks and valleys in my healthy habits. Surges and trickles in my devotion to my passions. Yet, only one can take the title of Biggest Emotional Rollercoaster EVER.
Drumroll please.
Motherhood.
Being a mommy will send your emotions through the wringer and make your head spin more times in a day than I thought could happen while still staying sane. Although, some may argue my head isn’t exactly screwed on straight. I hear ya. It’s not surprising when you consider the following…
Braedon caught Makenzie’s virus. When he gets sick, he has a very hard time breathing. The thought of your child not being able to breathe is enough to put you over the ledge of crazy-freak-out-worry-wart.
Breathing treatments have returned…
Then, you stumble across a moment like this and feel nothing but peace.
And thank heavens he decided to take a nap. It was a looonnnnggg night last night. Baby boy needed some rest even more than mommy needed a break.
Then, let’s not forget the other roller coaster that comes in the 28 pound package with blonde curls and way too much energy.
One moment I can find myself wanting to rip my hair out, even while praying for the ability to show the little terror some grace.
And suddenly she does something to melt your heart and make you forget the tantrum from mere seconds ago.
You want to know what she said? I love you THIS much, Mommy! It’s a circle. It goes round and round and never stops.
Putty. In. Her. Hands.
Emotional rollercoaster? Most definitely. Best ride of my life? You betcha.
