Feeling Foggy

It’s been dark and gloomy outside since Saturday evening. Cold and damp and so foggy I can’t see anything much outside my window.

It feels like the weather is trying to be kind. Keeping everything outside under wraps for a little while. Because there is big scary stuff waiting for me out there.

There are almost finished foundation holes (full of water again)….
There is a paddling pool full of green water…
There is a veggie garden over flowing with weeds…
There are four roosters ready to meet the dinner table…
There is a car that is not allowed to be driven…

There are constant reminders of how our life has changed.

Yes he is better, and will continue to get better.
He’ll be able to do most of the things he did before.
And it could have been worse, so much worse.
He is home and we are so thankful for that.

Despite all of those positives this has changed us forever.

It is has forced us to take stock.
To step back and look at our lives.
To make lists of pros and cons.
To argue about future plans.

There are still many tests to be done and questions to be answered.
There is still scary stuff to be faced.

But for now the fog is keeping us close, and we are just enjoying being a family again.

    I’m so glad he’s home and you are able to have some cost family time in this weird weather.

    And you know I’m wicked at weeding (if not slaughtering roosters lol). Just say the word.

    xox

    Hugs. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other. Somehow things happen.

  3. Jo-anne says

    It has been cold and miserable outside. What happened to that glorious sunshine we had on Saturday? I would love to have that back!

    • Jo-anne says

    Yep its huge. But you are together I bet the green monster – formerly known as Muski is happy to have Daddy home full time

  5. Super Sarah says

    Making plans, stepping back and evaluating, taking stock, all good things to do at times in our lives. I am just glad you are together as a family, the weeding can wait!

  6. SquiggleMum says

    Take time to just be.
    Everything else can wait.

  7. ClaireyH says

    Weeds can wait and will always return time and time again. But family is much more fragile.

  8. PlanningQueen says

    Glad the you are home together. Hope you get some answers soon.

  9. Christie says

    No words, just ((hugs)) xx

    Sometimes the best thing you can do is draw the curtains and let the world pass you by until you can regroup.

    hugs.

  11. Sarah says

    So glad he’s recovering and that you’re all together and safe. I hope that once you’ve stepped back, regrouped and taken stock, the fog lifts and the sun shines, perhaps even brighter than it did ‘before’.

    Take care.
