Week 2, day2: grumpy and dull

Lest you think I am happy and chipper all the time... I assure you, I am not.

Still quoting the positive, still cultivating the glass-half-full, but feeling overwhelmed by four children still doing their children-y things and with their childish ways and not feeling any sort of anything but blah. Had a big, hard sleep this afternoon and woke up grumpy. Short-fuse. Just... everything is loud and bugs me.

The second chemo feels... heavier. Like, I am dull. My skin is dull. My hair is dull. My sparkle is harder to lift up to bubble forth. My smile is even ... meh.

And the children still need their mommy. And my husband deserves his wife to lift him up and encourage him as he does alllll the work here.

Some moments in life are less sparkly, that's okay. This is when I start humming "and joy comes in the morning..." as I send the kids to bed!
[smile]

God just brought this across my path... it sums up this moment kind of nicely.
