Mom to the Screaming Masses: Contentment

All my ducks in a row.

It's an odd feeling, and one which is almost completely foreign to me.

I was driving home from the store today - I had gone to a store that's not typical for me and is a good bit away from me - and as I rolled down the interstate, windows open, music blasting, it occurred to me -

I am content.

We've both worked really, really hard for the past couple of months on multiple things. For a long while, they didn't line up, and I despaired. When you are plugging away for a long time and you can't see any results - it can be uber frustrating to all of the people involved. And when those people are super frustrated, it can make them less than an amazeballs amount of fun to be around.

Ahem. I'm mostly referencing myself.

But slowly, s-l-o-w-l-y - those pieces are begining to fall into place. I'm understanding the nuances of my new job and I love it The time requirement means that I must both become even more organized - and I already thought that I was - and rely on the help of others a bit more - an area with which I struggle.

I'm sure it's not going to last - I'm kinda, sorta one of those "glass is half full of acid" kind of people -but it's a really nice, albeit slightly foreign, feeling. I'm not where I want to be in terms of lots of things - but the fog is lifting, for just a peek, off the road in front of me.

And, for right now, it's good enough.
