maybe i shouldn’t be here posting. but i am. maybe i shouldn’t share some of the stuff on this blog about how i’m feeling. but i do. maybe i should censor what i say. but i don’t. in fact … this blog may be the exact thing that helped bring about this day.

all i know is, it’s been a bad day (totally insert that song from the end of american idol right here). a rough day. an emotional day. sometimes you feel like things are changing … maybe when you’re not ready for them to change. and when they do change … it’s not for the reasons you thought it would be. sometimes you understand the reasons … and sometimes you don’t. this was one of those things that i don’t understand. i mean … i get parts of it and i see where it may be coming from. but i don’t "get it" … and i won’t pretend to understand it.

it’s something that will take some dealing with. and it won’t come easily. it will effect us in many ways … my girls included. i’m taking it very personal … so i know i won’t just let it go and be willing to readily accept it. there are some things that you can’t just overlook and get past. and while i do truely hope i can get past it … i’m not so sure. to me, it questions who i am and what i do … and i hate that. because i know who i am and what i do … and i know it’s all good. not perfect … but good.

and i’m truely sorry to anyone that that has felt the need to question that.

    i really don’t know what to say, but im going to try. sometimes change is good. i think that if the communication was alittle better we wouldn’t be here talking about change, but we are. and we need to move on, and work past this. sometimes you need to put yourself in the other persons shoes, and look and see how it would make you feel to really understand how to cope with the situation. Life is full of tough decisions, and i feel this was one of the hardest one’s i have had to make. But i need to go with my gut now. i hope we can move past this and keep moving on.

    Laura, I don’t know you personally only through your blog but I think you’re amazing. You do so much for everyone around you it makes me sad to see you sad. I hope things work out and you are able to get beyond your hurt feeling. Keep on blogging and letting your feelings out. We all need an outlet of some sort and this seems to be working for you. Hugs.

    Laura, my thoughts are with you. Just remember to live life for YOU. Do what’s best for YOU and YOUR family. All of the un-important and unhappy stuff will just fall away, ya know? Hang in there!

    I don’t know what happened, but I encourage you to continue to be real. You know your intent in life, even if you can’t explain it well enough in this blog to prevent whatever change it was that happened from happening. And you are human, as is every mom on the planet. Some days with the mom thing we wake up and think, “I can totally do this.” Some days we wake up and think, “I can totally NOT do this.” Same with our jobs, kids, hobbies, commitments, faith, and friends. So, whatever it is, keep being your authentic self. And even if it is a painful change, you will not have had to censor who you are and fake your way into preventing it.
    Glad to see that the comments are boosting you.
