I am working hard right now to keep my spirits up. It seems like our family always has something on our plate. For example, in the past year we have had our washing machine , dryer, toaster, iron, washing machine (again), microwave, lawn mower, and car die. Actually, first we had a truck which ended up being a lemon die a few times, and then we were given a car that died the day we registered it. We got it running a couple of weeks ago and then yesterday coming home from the doctor it started running really funny and is once again not drive able.
On top of that, Rachael had gall bladder issues and was down for 2 months last spring/summer, then she had a knee injury that we have been dealing with since January. Mark has had back problems that he has been going to a chiropractor 3 times a week for, and his gall bladder issues which prognosis for is surgery. Yep, within a week, I would hope, he will be having his gall bladder removed.
I am not trying to play a sympathy card I don't need special attention. I know I am not the only one struggling with every day inundating trial. It isn't like we can't survive, I just get tired sometimes. I think everyone can relate to that. Whenever things seem to be going smoothly I know we are right around the corner from the next minor disaster. Like for example, the car. I was feeling so blessed to have it. It has helped us on spending money on fuel, and then it died. Of course it died. I counted my chickens before they hatched apparently. Poor Andrew, he is working hard on his lawn business and then the stupid thing started blowing smoke and then died. Really? Did we need that too? Ok, and this is funny, today is our anniversary and I started my period today. Now, it isn't like Mark is in any kind of condition for intimacy anyway but it just figures that I would start today.
So, Mark has had a chance to grumble lately and I decided I would take a moment too. Don't feel bad for us, just chalk it up to a me me me moment.
