Yesterday, I cleaned out my deep freezer.
PROOF, I do more that blogging!
The reason I tackled the freezer, is that some friends have offered us some meat. I said, yes, and they are bringing it over tomorrow.
The freezer was bad. So bad. Oh, so bad I didn’t take a picture, so bad.
The week that HSSH confessed and walked out, SuperMOM had just purchased 4 or 5 bushels of apples to make into applesauce.
Then SuperMOM went into shock and couldn’t deal with the apples.
Then SuperMOM’s AMAZINGLY, SUPER, WONDERFUL, GRAND friends came over and made the applesauce for her. While SuperMOM walked around dying an agonizing death, and crying over everything. Even apples.
Unfortunately, a couple of the bags of applesauce had broke open. Leaving my freezer in a state of applesaucy goo… There was no way to use the remaining applesauce without getting a hammer and pounding out the stuff. And then there was the 3 year old meat that was now stuck to the bottom of the freezer in 3-4 inches of applesaucy ice. The food was basically worthless because I couldn’t get it out of the freezer!
As I am cleaning it out, waiting for it to defrost, washing out the goo, I start thinking about that applesauce. How far we’ve come since the day that was made. How horrible those days were. And how God has cleaned up the mess of my life. How glad I was to have that all wash away.
Just another amazing step in the healing process.

Yum, yum!
Bet if feels soo good to get that cleaned out. I really need to do that to...yuck!
I really do know what you mean about the feelings of then and now. The feelings seemed to be immobilizing, numbing, continual state of shock even while working, doing, cleaning, being. I remember I couldn't be at home those first several months. I would stay at my mom's until bedtime, come home about 9, take some sleeping aids, and try to sleep around 10ish only to not sleep really at all.
There is such relief looking back to the then and now feelings, huh?
Amen!! Doesn't that mean future months will only get better and better in the emotions/feelings department.
