Emotional Rollercoaster

Posted on May 8, 2020May 8, 2020 by Andi

I have been an emotional rollercoaster recently. I have been crying over everything. Reasonable or not. I cry if I’m happy or sad. I cried myself to sleep the other night because it was all just too much emotionally.

Let’s think about the things I have cried about:

  • General pandemic
  • School being closed
  • Moving (both happy and sad)
  • Minor changes at the new house
  • Not having our boat lift installed so our boat is living in the garage
  • Needing to pack
  • Moving furniture
  • Not having friends or family help move the big stuff
  • Kids can’t play with friends
  • Birthday parades
  • School parades
  • Can’t snuggle my new niece
  • Murder hornets
  • Rain
  • That I can’t wander around stores
  • That I have to video chat with friends
  • Friendships fizzling because we don’t see each other in person
  • Stress eating and feeling guilty about it
  • The weekend
  • Days off of school
  • What we will do all summer
  • Gifts for Mother’s Day
  • That my popcorn supply was almost gone
  • Ordering food online
  • No kids sports
  • Justifying things
  • That people don’t follow the rules and have just given up
  • That states are reopening
  • That we still need to be extra careful
  • Cancelling things
  • Kids getting hurt
  • Wanting our house closing done
  • Wanting the new house built right. this. second.
  • My puzzle is hard
  • I haven’t read the books I have checked out yet
  • That I fall asleep reading
  • I’m tired
  • And again, just general pandemic.

So yeah. Some of these are legit things to cry about. Some of them aren’t. And it just doesn’t matter if they are reasons to cry or not. They just made me cry. And that is freaking OK.

This time is hard for everyone. We are all dealing with things in our own ways. I get that. And I get that we are all in different situations. I know that my struggles are different than other people. I am so thankful Chuck and I both have jobs that we can do from home and that we are able to move forward with this move. I know that we are healthy and have food and shelter and are safe. I understand that so many people are not in that situation. But just because we are fighting different battles, doesn’t mean we aren’t allowed to be emotional.

This post is not to whine or complain about everything. It’s to say that emotions are high right now. And life is weird and hard and we are all going through it in our own ways. Some days are good and some suck. Some days I love being stuck with my family and other days I just want to stay in bed.

So I am going to ride this rollercoaster through the ups and downs. I will hold on tight and cry and laugh and embrace all the changes. And I am confident we will get to the end of this ride eventually.

Tonight Chuck, Dannie and I played another game fr Tonight Chuck, Dannie and I played another game from Chuck’s childhood. Pay Day. This gem was his grandparents’ game and it was so fun. Dannie was so excited to play a new game. She LOVES games. And yet again she learned the wrong lesson and gambled and bet everything and won constantly. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 But at least she had fun!
Last week we went to the zoo again and saw the Far Last week we went to the zoo again and saw the Farm Babies. There was an energetic cow, Molly, who was just over a week old. We saw her the week before when she was only a day old! The goats and chicks were the kids favorite. I loved the pigs and the baby llama. But the star of the trip was the huge inflatable flowers all over.

Covid has made experiences a bit different, but I’m so thankful that these experiences are now able to be happening again!
Before the kids went back to school, we took a tri Before the kids went back to school, we took a trip to the zoo. We hadn’t been there in so very long. (Covid + moving.) The weather was lovely, we did lots of walking and saw ALL the animals. It was a wonderful visit!

I’m learning some new stuff to help out when someone goes on maternity leave. And it’s just been so glorious to see people. And go to an office. And work more. And it’s just so exciting! 🤗

I’m expecting to get even more read in April after my kids go back to school and I can just listen to audiobooks during the day while I’m getting things done. 🤗

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
