Tuesday Thoughts

I could sit here and write about how I ordered a shirt from a small business and they sent me the wrong one. And how disappointed I've been with the way the entire situation has been handled. 

I could write about how I had book club last Thursday and it was probably the least enjoyable book club night I have ever been to in my almost 7 years of attending because a new member joined and we (she and I) are not going to be a good mix. 

I could write about how C just doesn't like Kindergarten at all and the meeting I have on Thursday with his teacher and principal to see what we can do to make this year successful both with his sensory needs and his academic ones. 

Those are all challenges in my life right now. Ones that bring me to tears and prayer and while they range from the trivial to important, I just can't focus on them too much right now because I will spiral negatively and I just don't want to ruin my entire Tuesday. But since I use the blog as a memory of what's going on I don't want to forget that September 2018 is not without its own challenges.

So instead, while I wait for Aldi to open I am going to think about this girl and her new rainbow hedgie socks. Knowing that underneath that sweatshirt is a Vampirina shirt and she is off at preschool probably having a gay old time. 

I also have no shame about the Costco box of mac and cheese behind her. 

I realistically know that things are going to be fine. Because they are. At some point here, they will send me the correct shirt. (I hope anyway, if not that is what credit card chargebacks were invented for.) Book club will figure it out probably. And school... well I will advocate for my kid to the best of my ability. 

It's all going to be fine. It may not all be perfect but it's going to be okay. It feels so isolating right now. The internet is a weird place. Everyone talks about "their village" and then at the same time the internet is all like:

But you know what? It's okay to struggle sometimes. It's okay to face disappointments. That's called real life. And real life, my life, with my family is honestly my favorite. That little girl. My sweet boy. My husband. They make it all worth it even when they are frustrating me because they are humans.

Happy Tuesday!
