If you could see my mind and heart, I'm certain it would look like this poor girl! I feel like I am on a rollercoaster of emotions, with WAY too many ups and downs, twists, loops, and those stomach turning parts where you hang upside down. (Let me add here that I know I am blessed. I have 3 healthy children and a wonderful, supportive family. Even in a life with blessings though, you're not immune to hard times. This is my hard time. I'm just sharing to share. No point here.)
My rollercoaster is going something like this:
UP: I'm really looking forward to moving just 15 min away from my big family.
DOWN: I'm really upset and sad about moving, and everything it defines for my life.
TWIST: I'm crazy-stressed and overwhelmed about having to pack up my home in a week, coordinate a 3 hr away move, and then unpack our belongings.
DIVE: I have not had hot water for 11 days...it is adding SO much time and stress to our day because of packing the 4 of us to go borrow a bathtub somewhere and boiling pots of water for washing dishes and kids. I feel like a witch with cauldrons.
STEEP CLIMB: I'm nervous about starting over, making friends, and going back to work for the first time in 7 years. Um...REALLY nervous.
A STALL AT THE TALLEST POINT: I really believe this move will be good for my children.
TWIST: I'm tired. Really tired. And sad.
Anyone else feel like they're on a rollercoaster of emotions???

Oh girl, ain't that the truth. And a great exercise - very creative! I'll have to work out my up, down, dive, twist and peak roller coaster moments. Right now I need to get my nerves under control so I can bathe the kids with a sweet hand and sing song voice! Love you, El
