Just like a country song...

I had to laugh today because it seems like our life could easily turn into a country song  In the last few months:

  • Our 2 year old got out of the house while I in the shower and went down the alley.  Since I didn't know where she was, we called the police and she was already reported and picked up by the police.  Needless to say, that was one of the WORST days of my life.  So grateful she came home safely.
  • Two days after losing our daughter, I was taking a trash load of stinky diapers down stairs to go out with the trash and stepped on the side of my foot and fractured my fifth metatarsal.  Initial diagnosis was pretty serious but with much prayer, healing herbs (will blog about that later), chiropractic treatments and humoring the doctors with check up appointments I healed twice as fast and dodged surgery.
  • Son has serious eczema due to food allergies.  It has gotten progressively worse throughout the Summer.  Still no answers but they'll come soon.  Very painful to watch my baby suffer like that.
  • Oldest daughter started Kindergarten and is experiencing severe anxiety for a variety of reasons.  Praying to figure out how to help her cope and transition more comfortably.
  • Someone shot our back window in the van.  That was fun. Not really.
  • Stopped to talk to a friend before driving out of the church parking lot when her 6 year old daughter pointed out that I had a flat tire.  Not a slight flat, it was FLAT!!!!  Ofcourse my husband was home with a sick child so I was the damsel in distress (not really, it hardly phased any of us) and a couple guys we know came to our rescue.  Now I know where I spare tire is. It's underneath the van.  Good times....

So, now whenever something happens, I just laugh because it seems that is the theme of our life right now. :)

Await more posts on the joys of this Summer and many lessons I've learned.
