Losing our Minds

This past week has been nothing but INSANE!! While we were in St. George our house was under contract. HALLELUJAH! Also, a girl had been contacting us on vacation to buy our Jeep. On the way home we stopped and let her test drive it. We didn't hear back from her for a few days so we gave up on that.... fast forward to the beginning of this week. We get a call on Monday from our Realtor. The people backed out of our house, I cry for at least 24 hours. Then I forget that Avery has to have a 9 month check up, so I get her in at 10 months. She is doing great, minus the toe prick to check her iron level. Wednesday, we get a call from the girl about the Jeep. She got her money and still wants to buy it. Great! Oh, except for the fact that the back window now just went out, and the brakes are squeaking. Just perfect. Jeremy comes home, I tell him, and he races to fix them, and still has time to finish laying tile with my dad in the bathroom. I now remember I have a lesson to prepare for Sunday. Thursday, my mom comes down to grout the bathroom downstairs, the carpet people come to get a bid, and we still have to meet with the girl sometime before the bank closes. We make it, she buys it, I now have no car. I start my lesson. Friday, Jeremy and Dad finish putting the sink and toilet in. I need groceries, Trey needs fluoride, I have no deodorant, I get ready to go to the gym, I forgot I have no car!! More lesson. Saturday, I wake up. Everyone comes over and helps paint, finish electrical (Thank you Charley), help with the kids, put base boards on, put trim around windows, caulking, more painting downstairs (thank you Alene, thank you everyone!), the phone rings. It's our Realtor. Someone wants to come look at the house today. If they don't mind the mess, Great! I hurry and clean up the upstairs. They come, they look, they leave. Finally time to sit...no wait,I have to finish my lesson. Time to look for cars. I find 9 cars we would be very interested in. I call on them. They all have been sold! I make a mental note to write them all emails and explain to them that when they sell their cars to please take them out of the freaking ads!! Still no car. Wait! Awesome in-laws let us borrow their car. We go get groceries, pick up a movie, put kids in bed, go over lesson one more time, explain to husband I am to tired to watch a movie. Take a bath, go to bed.
Seriously, this week has been nothing but stress! I have at LEAST 10 new gray hairs from it all. Our family helped us out a ton. We are so lucky to have them. My kids have been great through it all, even though they have nasty colds, and Avery cut 3 teeth in 3 days. My husband is WONDERFUL! He keeps me positive and sane. I love you Jeremy. Maybe next week will be better, because I was seriously losing my mind.

Love the picture of the cat. Life is crazy sometimes but you are alive to tell about it. Just remember someone always has it worse- a friend and her family went camping over the weekend and came home to their house burnt to the ground with their cars left parked in the garage. At least they have their motor home and insurance.? Don't know if that makes it any better or if you want to tell me to shut up. Have a better week.

Love the cat, don't we all feel like that sometimes. Seriously when it rains it pours. It just makes you appreciate the time when your life is somewhat balanced and sane.
