What's Next?

I have been a little, by by little I mean A LOT, stressed lately. Things on top of things on top of things just seem to keep happening. My face, mostly my chin, is paying the price for all of the stress. It's really not a good thing. I keep wondering when it will all end but maybe this is just my load to bear right now. Whatever. I need my parents to come home--NOW. Technically they will be back on Friday. Who knew that a month could last so long? Who knew that I would miss them this much? Not me. I never want them to stay gone this long again--NEVER. That is the first thing that is stressing me out.

Next came having to cook a dinner for about 45 people that I was technically not in charge of. That is a little stressful and a lot demanding and it wore me out. Good thing I had Tina to help me.

Next came the Facebook status of one of my first cousins saying "Is it too early to call and find out about my Dad?" That gave me a heart attack. What is wrong with my Uncle? I can't take this. I finally find out that he fell asleep at the wheel and rolled his truck. It took them 30 minutes to get him out. He had to be flown to the hospital. He split the back of his head open, they had to insert a shunt in his head to drain the fluid/blood, he has many lacerations all over his head, has a neck fracture, dislocated his shoulder and has bruises and swelling. It could have been worse. We feel very blessed. I had to call and tell my Dad. That was really hard. He was so upset and offered to come home early. But thanks to many prayers my Uncle was able to come home. He has to wear a neck brace for 6 weeks to heal the neck fracture and he has to take it really easy. We are so blessed.

Finally--O starts running a fever Saturday afternoon. I'm not really worried about it. I give her Motrin and she sleeps for 5 hours. It comes back Sunday morning. I'm still not really worried about it. She wakes up Monday morning with the fever but on top of that pink eye and sores and swelling in her mouth. We go to the Dr. She has a strep-like virus. Which means antibiotics won't help. We get eye drops for the pink eye. We have to keep giving her Motrin for her throat. I am just hoping that the other 2 kids don't get it as the Dr. said she is contagious. There are other things that I can't/won't say on here. Meh. I'm done. I've had enough for one month. I know that things could be worse--I really do know that. I am blessed and loved. I guess I needed to remind myself of that.
