I am currently in the middle of a rough patch. The week leading up to Mother’s Day weekend, my son was home from school sick (he came home from school that Tuesday not acting like himself and he ended up staying home the rest of the week with a bug). The following week was spent prepping for and hosting company over the holiday weekend. The first day back to school from the long weekend, I get a phone call from my son’s school asking to come pick him up as he was not acting like himself (he fell asleep twice while at school). He ended up spending the next few days at home with another bug.
With virtually no outside help and lacking a way to adequate redirect my frustrations, it caused my anxiety to soar. It hasn’t exactly been easy to say how frustrating it has been since everytime I try, it falls on deaf ears. So, as a result, I’m doing something else that I know works: getting creative. I may not have the much needed village right now, but at least I have the ability to redirect the energy into something creative. Our walls have very little in the way of decoration, so I’m out to fix that. There will definitely be more to come.
