I used to not be so open with my emotions. I was more of the tough it out in public, cry in private. That's taken a 180. Yesterday, when I picked Eli up from preschool, I started talking to another mother who happens to live in the ward we've moved into. The first thing she asked is, "When are you coming over to the dark side?" I know she was joking, but it made me think that I've really let my emotions run away with me on this move. I wish I knew what caused this change: Aaron working all the time so I don't have him around to cry to, being constantly tired from kids that I don't have as much emotional control, being a little more open in general so I'm not as careful, or just that over-emotional time of the month. Whatever the reason, I think it's safe to say that I need some pepto for this emotional diarrhea before it makes it seem that moving to a new ward is a fate worse than death! "Emotional Diarrhea is a term we picked up in response to a line the elephant uses on Turk in "Tarzan" about emotional constipation- FYI.

Things will get better Carrie! You guys have had a ton of changes lately....and I'm sure that has just been super stressful! Hang in there. I know you...you always have a smile on your face. Everyone is entitled to a bad day every now and then. Whatever ward you end up in will be more than lucky to have you! I wish we were in the same ward :). That would be amazing!
Oh Carrie--- I can SOOOO relate. And at least Eli is in pre-school for some kind of break! Moving is super hard with little kids. I find my day to day tasks difficult to get all done the way I want, and play with my kids too- but throw in a move with tons of organizing and stuff, it is just HARD. Hang in there!!!! Love you!
