This little thing called, "Life"

  Have you ever noticed how "Life" seems to get in the way of all the things you thought you were going to do? For instance, I was accepted to join the Young Americans, then I was going to make a name for myself performing. Then, "Life" came along and said "Nope! here is a baby" and then I became a Mom. Today, Life determined that I was not going to be able to function.

  A very close friend of mine, we will call her K, has lived with debilitating migraines for a great portion of her life. She has taken meds, gotten piercings, which helped some, but it's still something that she is unfortunate enough to have to deal with. I always felt bad cause there wasn't anything I could do to help, and I didn't understand. Until now. As of late, I have had the worst, life stopping, migraines. I can't compare them to anyone else's so I still may not know her pain, but I at least understand some. The worst part is, I cannot for the life of me figure out why this started.

 When this does hit, it always comes when I need to function. Like, on vacation or when I am home alone with Big and Little. Not only am I in pain from my migraine, that spreads pain to my whole body.... but it makes me feel like I am a failure. I failed as a wife today, my husband asked me to help with laundry and it hurt too much to move the 3 floors to get it done. I failed as a mom today, I had planned this super fun day with the boys to go to the pool and get some pre-school work done. I failed. When I fail, I shut down.

  So, in conclusion, don't let "Life" make you feel like this, like you failed. No one is perfect, even Mary couldn't spare her only son, Jesus from the pain and suffering he was destined for. Find your self, even a higher power if need be to get yourself through. The good days come with some of the bad, that is what make us appreciate what we have more.

UPDATE:
So, this is hilarious to me, but the day after I post this, I woke up with Pink Eye. If Life ain't a B**** I don't know what is lol!
Hang in there,
Catie :D
