Some Tough Stuff!

The last two weeks have been PRETTY hard ... My husband and I have had to go through ALOT ... Some things I can talk about  - some not...

The first thing - My best friend lost her boyfriend two Tuesdays ago. That being said "we set her up" with said boyfriend so he was a good friend of ours! We all are devastated .. It was a freak thing and so unanticipated. The week leading up the funeral was hell... and the funeral (I cannot even describe how awful that was) ... I pray for my bestie everyday ... This is the SECOND friend we have lost in a year. The June before my 29 year old cousin went to sleep and never woke up - He was married to my BESTEST friend (that sounds silly, how could I have two best friends) ... But this one - We grew up together -- She means the world to me, and my family was beyond devastated -- a Navy Seal my cousin was... was healthy, how does this happen??? Right now, I am trying to get over my anxiety about leaving my husband alone for even a minute. I could not imagine having to go through that again, much less with my husband ... So I am annoying him by texting or calling him 999,999,999 times aday ... I hope the anxiety passes and I can learn to live with these situations. But it is H.A.R.D ...

The other biggest issue I cannot speak about. This is a HUGE issue, another sad one. And both hubby and I are devastated. But we are learning to live with it, and move on from it. And it has brought us closer together. Perhaps in time I can talk about it, but not now.

That being said -- I pray for everyone, that they do not have to lose a loved one to early ... and I pray to those that have, they can gain peace and perhaps eventually happiness ...

Hopefully my week only gets happier from here!

Life Lately

Life lately has been hectic, an emotional rollercoaster and wonderful all at the same time. How do these things happen?? and happen all at once?? My need for plans, and routines gets shot out of the water when these things do happen... And no - Unfortunately I am not talking about pregnancy :( Everyone always thinks that... LOL

On a side note - we are BACK from vacation, tanned, rested and happy -- but in need of another vacation to rest from the last - how come that always happens...

Have a wonderful Tuesday!!!

Three Days and Counting

Not a good kind of counting ... the dreaded counting... This seems silly when I type it ... BUT we are going on vac and leaving the "kids" which is fine ... We have done this before ... However the dreaded MIL is staying at our house and it gives me a panic attack just THINKING about it ... I am S.C.A.R.E.D to DEATH ... Will she do this, wont she do that ... Let me explain ... MIL is as NICE as can be ... however she does not remember ANYTHING, sleeps 23 out of the 24 hours in a day ... and her cleanliness needs much improvement ... So the thought of her in my house without me there, cleaning up, reminding her we dont smoke at all ever and do NOT want someone in our house smoking, the dogs are NOT allowed to just pee on the carpet b/c she is napping ... etc etc. .. I am scared ... Typically a friend stays at the house, she is a vet tech, she KNOWS me, and my house is clean the dogs are clean and played out (she has a son who wears them out) ... I am comfortable with her staying ... Unfortunately she is going out of town the same time we are ... my backup person... Out of town as well ... SO our options are pay a million dollars to board the dogs (we have THREE two med and one SUPER GIGANTIC) or leave explicit instructions, leave threatening phone messages and call a hundred and one times a day to remind her not to sleep all day ... My puppy would NOT behave ...I was ok.. she came up I showed her around ... Then she calls and says this or that and I am back to FREAKING OUT !!!! Like seriously ... Almost at the point of cancelling my vaca!! OMG WHAT DO I DO?? I am tempted to just pay out the money and BOARD them ... but it is SO expensive ... The last two years we have always rented someplace that allowed them ... this year we are going to the beach and they are not allowed :( Super sad!!! Sorry for the rant ... but I am at a loss ... I am making a decision TONIGHT ... I just wish my family was closer ... I trust them :)
