& thankful
that our families

Saddling up..... AGAIN!!!

We've just battled the stomach flu. All.5.of.us.got.it.this.time. We have NEVER ALL 5 gotten the same thing at the same time. Usually it's 1-3 of us, or it's at least a week or 3 apart. It was BAD. BADBADBAD!!!! We're, thankfully, on the mend now. This year has sent us through so many loops & obstacles, that every time I get back up, dust my butt off & get our healthy lifestyle going again, something backhands me back to the ground again.

I'd just gotten through telling Hubba just a few days ago that this year we just haven't been able to get healthy & STAY healthy. I figured it out, just a day or 2 before the first of us got sick. It just wasn't enough time to fix it.....

I have so much to catch you up on, but first..... first I must get my home back in order. I must get my KITCHEN back in order.

For the umpteenth time this year...

*le sigh*

Year in review..... 2010

(This is a scheduled post)

This has been my "bad" year. Here's a recap of things, for those that don't know, or for those that don't know all of it:

• My brother passed away (January 25th)
• In ONE day (in March) My SFIL cut his thumb off in woodworking accident; my cousin was life flighted to an ATL hospital after an accident, with a cracked skull & vertebrae AND Hubba's nephew was hiding in a closet during a home invasion while his roommate was shot & killed.
• May 23rd while trying to snake our drains, we had a HUGE & NASTY sewage backup into our house..... Come to find out it wasn't just *our* fecal matter washing into our house, it was a clog in the CITY'S pipes & we got EVERYONE'S poo flooding our home from uphill. We lost most of our garden seedlings when this happened as well as some home furnishings & misc. things. We also found out who our true friends are. More importantly, we found out who our true friends are NOT.
• My Mum was excruciatingly sick.
  
• And we've all been sick more than normal this year.

Needless to say, every time I get back on my horse, he bucks me off again. I'm not even sure that's everything ^^ It seems like I'm forgetting something, but this seems to be the year that everyone else needs to think for me, because I'm having a difficult time thinking for myself. I know we'll get through this, but sometimes it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. For now, I cry when no one's looking & I pray, and I hope.....
