This week had been a very crazy week, and the scary thing is... it's only Wednesday. My mother and I have been battling horrible upper respiratory infections for well over a week. Even with antibiotics I cannot seem to kick this damn thing. Then yesterday both sides of my family suffer losses. On my father's side, we lost my Aunt Barb. Sadly mostly what I know about her is from my childhood and my mother, I had very little time with her as an adult. I feel deeply for my cousin Breena, her daughter, as they were close like my mother and I. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for her. The wonderful thing is that Barb will live on through her, she has instilled in Breena her strength and spark that shines through her smile. I hope that will bring her some comfort during this difficult time. That and the knowledge she has gone on and will be with those she missed and loves.
On my mother's side we lost my Great Uncle Edgar. Honestly I did not know him that well. He was 84. I know that he was not alone when he went and that he went onto a better place and we should all take comfort that he had a long life and that he will be welcomed home to his maker next to my grandmother and his family.
In my experience, things always happen in threes. So it seems like we are all waiting for the next shoe to drop. We pray the worst is over.
On a brighter note, today is Chloe's 2nd Birthday. I would like to drop off some balloons and a present for her today even though her birthday party is Friday. It's so hard to believe the kids are getting so big. They are ornery than ever but also just as cute.
The wedding is drawing ever closer. We are almost just 2 months away! Panic is sure to set in soon. We are still trying to decide on tuxes, food, drinks, and get the invitations out. There is so much to do and so little time. Help is few and far between so I am doing most of the stuff by myself which is only adding to the stress, compound that by the fact I am unemployed so money is short...very short, and needless to say I am a mess.
I am trying to keep sane by taking it all day by day. But I know I am letting all kinds of things slip through the cracks. I know that I am taking some of it out on Dustin. Not that he doesn't play a role in my source of stress! lol He plays his own special part. Grrr.
I am making fabric flowers for the decorations on my bridal parties flip flops, which is fun and stressful at the same time. I am trying to just focus on the fun aspect and not worry so much about all the little shit. Don't even ask how that is going. lol So I think that's why I am back blogging about my life. It seems like through it all, the bad and the good, talking about it all helps to put it into perspective.
Tonight I am going to spend some time with Samantha and talk about all the crap that's driving me nuts. Then I am going to come home and work on some more fabric flowers, listen to some music and make the world fade away.
Hoping for some better days :)
