I did stuff today that nobody should ever have to do. For instance, I took the kids to Walmart. Also? Other stuff.
I had to keep reminding myself that public meltdowns are lots of fun, but never for the person doing the melting.
Then, I came home to ALLLLL the grass being cut. I haven't had a minute to spend working on the lawn since it started growing again. The most I do outside is make sure the front porch is swept, and even that is sporadic. I had sort of given up, thinking that school is three weeks away from being out; and I would have all the time in the world to beautify my surroundings after that.
Coming home to such a huge task being done made up for pretty much everything I've been through over the last couple months. Also, there was a note on the door that said "Happy Mothers' Day." Assuming it was my neighbors/landlords, this isn't even the nicest thing they have done for me, and I am reminded of what a huge blessing this house and the people who live near it have been for me and the kids.
I think I am done with being angry and depressed. At least for now. It's the little things that make all the difference. As much as I try to live by that, I really needed a reminder in my life right now.
