Emotions.

Wonderful, sometimes embarrassing and frustrating but essential to our being. I've discovered this week that it is extremely hard to think and process information as well as make decisions when your emotional, whether you are frustrated, in despair, angry, upset or damn right furious, you just cannot think nor can you or should you try to or make decisions!

Once the storm blows over and you take a few breaths, calm down and can think clearly the situation never seems as bad as it did when you were in the thick of those raging emotions and let me tell you it is so much easier to see how everything WILL work out rather than crying, growling and waving your arms in the air saying (or writing) angrily 'that there is no way possible it can happen'.

In saying that, im feeling positively calm and only a little anxious and emotional about what this semester will bring, not only in terms of the workload at Uni but also the stress and coping and the fact that i most likely won't get as much time as i hoped to spend with my precious little men.

My biggest little man is off to school in July and in the perfect world it would have been lovely to spend as much time as possible with him over the next two terms but alas that more than likely won't be happening and we'll just have to 'suck it up' so to speak, stay positive and i will keep reminding myself that i am doing this for our future, to make those dreams come true.
