I will gladly have sore legs for the next 6 weeks as a side effect of pregnancy. If Isaac arrives safe and healthy, then I will never regard my physical "ailments" as anything other than minor bumps in the road to growing our family.
I am not as accepting of the emotional side effects of things, however. I love teaching, but I get extremely frustrated and offended when my techniques and integrity are questioned... even though these instances are typically mild and infrequent. Similarly, I enjoy marriage and am deeply in love with my husband. I get angry, though, when we (again, rarely) fail to come to a quick compromise or resolution, or to communicate effectively.
Not quite articulate this afternoon (tired, crabby, and with sore legs), I am trying to say that I think that we (people, in general) are stronger physically than emotionally. Why is that?
