Normal

I am actually in the middle of blogging some pictures of Carter from football this year. Yes, that is how far behind I am. I have heard it said that women are like a river..the past, present, and future all flow together..so my reasoning is..am I really behind?

ANYWAY, as I was working on it I started to think about a few things. I have said several times this last week. "I am trying to get back to my normal" What does that even mean? I have NO idea. I can tell you that with all the chaos of the school situation, things have just been OUT OF CONTROL! I am ready to have "normal" days, "normal" conversations, a "normal" handle on my emotions.

Paige is finally doing better. It has been a long road and there are many obstacles still, but for the first time in a long time,I have some peace. I know we will look back on this situation and probably never laugh, but celebrate that we all survived. We are blessed with a wonderful family, great friends, a wonderful church family, teachers - I don't want to forget that.

So back to the NORMAL...

Definition
nor·mal

1. usual: conforming to the usual standard, type, or custom (this is what I totally need to get back to. Normal days filled with normal activities. I think I will enjoy cleaning..haha. But, I would like to feel like I am prepared for a day and know what the heck is going on around me)

2. healthy: physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy (this is what the WHOLE family needs right now. It is insane how it not only changed Paige, it changed ALL of us. The stress level rose by 100 percent and we all felt the toll and STILL are on many levels)

3. occurring naturally: maintained or occurring in a natural state (maintaining normalcy..count me in)
