I'm not sure how other people react when they go through something traumatic. Unfortunately, we've been through our fair share and I've learned something about myself. My pre-existing control issues kick into high gear. Why, you ask? Well, based on my amateur self-analysis, I think it's because I don't do well in situations where I know I have no control. So if I can't control a particular situation, I focus my (nervous) energy on things I can control. I tend to go into a cleaning and organizing frenzy...in a big way. This evening I've organized the laundry room (I caught up the laundry in the process) and I also organized Gabriel's train stuff. Trust me, he has a lot to organize. Of course, I'll be getting back to the wallpaper soon enough. All in good time...
Observations, information, some opinions and a lot of stuff about home and family.
