Chaos it is!

Ahh where does the weekend go?! here it is, Sunday evening already. Andy and Aaron have been gone a total of 10 days and it feels like triple that. I'm ready for them to be home and get back into the routine ( if there is such a thing ). As it stands right now, they are in Texas for the night. The 10 days they have been gone have been insane. In that short time period here is a brief list of things that happened

1. Our dog Lucky just literally fell over dead ( thank you gas station man for coming and digging a hole in the frozen tundra to bury him )
2. My sister has Pnuemonia
3. Alex has greatly increased seizure activity.
4. My friend had emergency surgery that I won't get into but was serious stuff!
5. Another friend fell and shattered her foot!
6. And yet another friend is dealing with so much family stress that my heart is just breaking for her.
7. Dougs jeep won't start
8. I tore the whole exhaust off of my Expedition... I actually like the deep growl it has now..not so much the Po-Po stalking me for sound violations.
9. I managed to get into a tremendous argument with the secretary at the elementary school.. ugh...
10. SNOW-- need I say more?!

Really I could go on and on... about losing my keys only to find them in the ignition, having the most difficult professor on the face of this earth, blah-blah-blah. On the flip side, I do have a fabulous bunch of friends that really look after me and make me laugh when it feels impossible.

Today we also decided to go back to church, it was with a gentle nudge that another mom , who recognized my struggles , suggested we go back together. That is exactly what it took for me to recognize that God has taken me to my knee's. The more I try to fix things the crazier I seem to make them. I'm not going to get all religious on my blog , I don't believe in cramming religion down someones throat. It's certainly a decision I'm glad I made and one that I think everyone in the family will benefit from . So here is to another chaotic week here in the burbs!
