It is 9:33pm.
Today I added 3 new designs to our etsy page and a mug, a t-shirt, and hoodie for each.
Well, okay...the middle one I showed you yesterday...but the other two I made today.
Neither are very complicated...and it doesn't seem like it should have taken me all day to upload designs and products to etsy, but I also had kids to tote around everywhere, and a family to take care of.
Speaking of, Alex got promoted very quickly at his MMA school in belt testing. His coach thinks he will be ready for adult classes soon!
I am both proud and terrified.
Fundraising has kind of come to a standstill...I'm not sure what to do about it, but I can't give up. I have other funding that I will be providing, and I am hoping to God our Etsy shop will take off once I get it all put together, but just keep praying, because I need it...I am definitely taking a leap of faith.
I know it is the right thing to do.
My stomach has had its ups and downs today...but right now I am doing okay.
Last night I felt like someone was standing on my rib cage again, and it didn't help that I had this weird dream where there was a baby in a bassinet in my old bedroom at my parents house (that was Alex's nursery).
The baby was dead, but it was trying to talk to me...and I kept telling myself that there was no way this was Elijah because the baby also had down syndrome...and Elijah didn't have downs.
I wanted so badly for it to be Elijah.
And I can't remember a single thing the baby was trying to tell me either, but I do remember there was a blue light shining over the bassinet. It was really odd.
I also dreamed that I was pregnant--and I had the most glorious pregnant body that there ever was. Which, if you have ever seen me pregnant, I tend to bloat and get puffy--not glorious..lol. I don't know how far along I was, or what I was having, I just remember seeing myself in the bathroom mirror and I had this beautiful pregnant belly...
It was all just so strange, and for whatever reason, this weird dream has made me feel so off today.
And then later today I read some post in a support group about a girl looking for a medium to speak to her baby, and I followed just out of sheer curiosity.
No one really said what any mediums had ever told them--only that they had been told things that no one else seem to know, and that somehow they left knowing more about why their baby had to leave...
All I could think of while reading these posts is: what if I went to one of these things and they just told me that Elijah was angry because I left him that day...
And it really wouldn't even matter if they told me something amazing, because I would never believe anything they said, even if it was something I really wanted to believe...
ugh...like I said, It has just been a really weird emotional day....
And no worries, I am not running off to a medium anytime soon. The last time I went to a palm reader, I think I was about 16 and I can't remember much about what she told me other than I apparently am supposed to have ESP powers myself...lol. Obviously if I did, I would not be where I am in life right now.
AGHH...THE WEIRDNESS!
What can I say. I am in a funk today.
It is just another day to get through....that is my life now. Day by day...moment by moment...second by second.
Blah.
Oh sweet sweet boy. What I would give to hold you again, to wrap you up tight and to know that everything was going to be okay. You are so beautiful. So wonderful. So perfect. I love and miss you more than you could ever imagine...
I just wanted everything to be okay...
Welcome to my blog. It's a bit of a mess. I'm a bit of a mess. It used to be about just kindness. Now it is about finding strength in the darkest places. Discovering love through grief. Traveling this beautiful world. And continuing to practice kindness all because of a little boy I love and miss very much. I hope you find inspiration in all my ramblings. #loveelijah
