So I’ve gotten a little behind on blogging, but I have good reason! If we had good luck, we wouldn’t know what to do with it! Saturday morning Mike got up and headed over to the house to texture the kitchen. I had been bugging him to do it for quiet some time now and figured this was as good as ever sice the house was empty and insurance was paying to have it painted! (hooray for no more purple kitchen!) Well, he was just wrapping it up when a transformer blow! He took the bucket of wall mud outside only to discover that there was water in the shed. The same shed floor that was holding his weedeater and mower! ugh. He got them up off the ground and decided that he’d better head back to the hotel. I was cooped up there with both kids as he had both car keys. He locked, up, got in his car, backed out, drove about a block and a half and then began to float. Yup, that’s right folks, my husband drowned a car for the second time in less than three years!! (the first time was July 07) Seriously, can this month get any worse? If May doesn’t get here soon and bring some better luck, I may be living at a looney farm soon! We are all still sick and I’m extra gumpy today - root canals don’t make for a happy mama! Not only was it super painful on my pocketbook, but my mouth is still hurting, bad, and it’s been 12 hours! The internet connection in our room is down-right aggravating. Connect one minute, and off the next! So, it’s 1am and I’m haning out down the hall in the business center trying to transfer a file that is <1g. Uh, think it's been going about 2 hours now and has at least 2 left! I've about surfed all the net that I care to surf! BUT, with all that is bad and frustrating in my life right now, I know that it could be so much worse. Yes, it sucks that we're living in a hotel, but hey, they have free breakfast, free laundry, housekeeping and free dinner 3 nights a week. Aiden doens't mind the pool in the 'backyard' either. Yes, we may be down to one car now, but we had full coverage on Mike's lemon, so Insurance will help us out. Yes, I had a root canal today and I'm in severe pain, but we have insurance and so while it was painful to write out the check this morning, I didn't need to rob a bank to cover it Yes, Madeline may be sick and cutting another tooth, but she's not in the hospital anymore. She's gaining weight, learning how to crawl, and well on her way to becoming a normal baby! So, while we have hit some valleys, we do have so much to be thankful for!!! Praise God! (and yes, I am aware that God never gives me more than I can handle. I just don't understand why He trusts me so much!!) Here's my sweet family taking a swim yesterday after the weather cleared!!!

Welcome to My Life!
