Stinky changes

As I wrote that title, I reflected on how my day began. I opened Jeremiah's bedroom to have him declare, "I pooped, AGAIN!" Luckily, I can handle those changes. However, when it comes to the general changes in life I can say, "I stink at changes".

This is nothing new! Normally, I'm very excited for the changes when they initially present themselves. I'm talking about the types of changes you can anticipate - like going off to college, changing jobs, having a baby - not deaths, loss of job, etc. It's after that initial excitement flows away and I reflect on all the ripples that the change will have in my little pond that I start to freak out! I don't consider myself that much of a creature of habit, but, apparently I am. Granted, most of these changes are managable and turn out to be in my and our family's best interest, but I can certainly create a great deal of worry for myself in the meantime.
