2010 so far...

is not what I hoped it would be!

No this is not a pity party, but a little vent... if you wanna call it that!

Christmas was absolutely wonderful for my family! The day after is when 2009 was on a downward slope and I was just hoping 2010 was going to bring greatness! My van broke down and J got a wonderful flat tire on top of the 2 low ones he has everyday! My van was in the shop for almost a week. I don't think anyone really knows how much it stinks to not have a vehicle for 5 days. J was working everyday and night, so I was stuck in the house. 4 kids cooped in a 1900 sq.ft home for 5 days is not cool. Not to mention if we did have to leave we had to pack into J's car like a bunch of sardines, again... NOT COOL! It was kind of funny though, still is when I sit and think about it!

Then I find out at my Mom's Christmas, that my uncle ( on my dad's side) was rushed to the hospital for severe back pain. He sat there all week and the pain meds were not helping. Meanwhile it was a vacation week so all of the doctors he needed to see were hard to find or he had to wait. Well today he was scheduled for surgery and I haven't heard anything yet. He had a smashed disc and without surgery it could get worse.

Saturday morning as soon as I woke up I received a phone call from J's dad telling me J's aunt (my F.I.L's sister) had passed away during the night. She had been in the hospital for I think 4 or 5 days fighting pneumonia. She was in remission from Leukemia so it was such a blow to the family. I didn't know her very well, like I know most of my father in law's family, but it is still very sad for her children and her family. We will be laying her to rest on Wednesday. I know in my heart she is happy! She is with our King and her mother who we lost 4 years ago! They are definitely celebrating together on the streets of gold! I find such comfort in knowing when people are saved and they leave this earth, they are with Jesus and their loved ones! God knew what he was doing with her. He wanted her for his Glory and I just hope the McGaha family can find the comfort in that! I am praying for all of you!

Today was not an awful day, but a day to definitely remember, LOL!!! My alarm went off at 7:30am and I must have rolled over and fell back to sleep. I woke up in a panic at 8am because my girls were to be at school by 8:30 when the bell rings. Everyone had a frantic breakfast, frantic everything actually. I had to wake both of the little ones up at 8:25 so we could walk out of the door ( they used to wake me up before the alarm clock)! Well we load up in the van and as I am driving to school, I didn't see any heavy school traffic. So I thought maybe we were just really late! I also noticed when we drove past one of the girls' friends house there vehicle was trapped in by other vehicles. So again, I said "oh maybe she is already back home since we are sooo late"! Well I finally get to school and the wonderful parking lot was EMPTY, yes I said EMPTY! The bulletin on the outside board says " Students return January 5th"!!! I started laughing hysterically only because of the mad rush we were just in! My girls laughed, but then were upset they woke up early and they didn't need too! So the girls will be returning back to school tomorrow with the rest of Franklin Township schools, LMBO :)

To finish off the way 2010 is going... J called today and had another flat tire! Oh when will this awful streak of bad tires and batteries end????

So to my 2010 that I thought was going to be so great... you suck so far! Through it all though... I am still smiling :)
