My sweet little Carter's photo shows exactly how I am feeling lately!
Everything appears to be going wrong over the past month. My ability to deal with stress is plummeting. We went to Scottsdale mid-April and had a fabulous time, but it feels like everything has gone downhill from there. I haven't been able to blog because my computer at home is just about dead. We need to get a new one, but a few things have made that a little bit of a challenge.
In the past 3 weeks I have managed to:
Dislocate Carter's elbow, which sent us to Children's Hospital. He was such a trooper and only cried when they put it back into place. How this happened, I seriously do not know. He never cried once, we just realized he wasn't using his left arm. It sort of just "hung" there.
We are in a property line dispute with our neighbor. This dispute is taxing on me with the unknown implications and the knowledge that one day it will be over and we will again have to be "neighborly."
Due to the stress from the above Kent and I have had plenty of words for one another and ideas on how to fix things, like the property line dispute. It makes me bummed at our lack of communication, but I am trying to see this as a building block.
Mother's Day came and went as did the bickering within my immediate family. I felt robbed of my special day with Carter so we are having a do-over next week-end. A certifiable do-over complete with pictures, brunch and an outing somewhere warm (which means indoors as it is suppose to rain).
I'm hoping that "venting" a bit might make this crap go away. I'd like to be like Charlie Sheen, and tell everyone that I am "winning!" So here's to the winners.
