I know you're just dying to know. Just a brief rundown. This week we reached the 100 flyer mark. That is the number of fliers we've put out for the house with no avail. Not one showing yet. Ugh.
Wednesday night I get a call from my sweetie informing me his right thumb is sitting perpendicular to the rest of his hand. I send him on to his yearly visit to the ER and tell him "Happy Birthday." Granted his birthday isn't until the end of the month, but said trip to ER is his gift. It's what every man wants for a gift...a 4 hour ER visit, 2 sets of xrays, 4 shots of lidocaine, and a doctor pulling for 3 minutes to relocate your thumb.
Thursday, Zade wakes up throwing up and Isla has runny pooh.
Friday, I talk to a dear friend that's going through a truly difficult time (reminding me, my life is hard...just laughable.)
Saturday we head to Tuscaloosa and have an enjoyable weekend.
Monday we drive up to our house after two hours of constant crying from Isla and find this.
No the Jeep isn't hiding in a bush and now there is no argument over the future of the Jeep. A huge, healthy limb from our pecan tree decided to just break-off and crash onto our vehicle and better yet, our neighbors. And for all of you that don't know much about insurance...homeowner's doesn't cover falling trees unless they land on your house. Yeah, I got that phone call this morning from a heartless claims rep that didn't want to take the time to explain their rejection and said she'd "send a letter." Tells me she doesn't know the policy or doesn't want to wast her time with a policy holder who happens to pay her salary. Uh, her boss is getting a letter too...from me.
Amidst all this my modem goes out, which actually is the least of my worries and
Isla is sick and all-around yucky feeling. I've become the human hanky and permit bearer of Isla.
There was a brief period this morning when "overwhelmed" could accurately describe how I was feeling. Bliss tried to soothe me and assure me everything will be alright. He told me "Mom, I know we can be annoying sometimes, but we just want to have fun." I told him it wasn't Zade and him upsetting me, but yes, sometimes he is annoying sometimes. Ha.
I pulled myself together just in time for the internet guy to arrive and try to fix the internet connection. He was super nice and thankfully just had to replace the modem.
To make myself feel better and useful, I canned a mess of green beans today and found a recipe for all my blueberries. I went and picked and talked for an hour at my friend Cheyenne's Monday morning and had a gallon bucket full.
Don't these look yummy! That's tomorrow's project. And I can't wait to use these.
My mother-n-law picked these up for me over the weekend and they were stashed in the back of the van Monday. What a pleasant surprise. I've been wanting some good pans for awhile now. So there are good things in my life.
When what we'll call "unfortunate" events come my way, I just look at it and say "bien sur."

Oh Sara! Sometimes life just stinks. Sorry about the Jeep, and well everything else too. Sometimes all we can do is just laugh bedsise its top depressing to cry. Good luck this next week!
It's unbelievable all those unwanted events happened one right after another! We'll be praying for you that this next week is so much better, so much more peaceful, and so much less eventful.
Yikes! Well, on the bright side now you can get rid of that pos jeep. Poor Isla, give her a kiss from me and come visit soon!!!!
where did she get those? the pans that is. i picked up three of i'm assuming the same at the restaurant supply store in tuscaloosa last weekend. they're perfect. one takes up the entire oven rack and today i actually made a whole batch of cookies at once. (typically it takes 3)
Natalie, she got the pans from Sam's Club. I think she said they were $10-$14 for a two pack. I still haven't used them...I just haven't been in a cookie mood. Very abnormal for me. I think I'll make my rolls on them tomorrow instead of the stoneware.
