Craziness......really!
Oh my goodness, this is getting ridiculous. Things around here have gotten absolutely insane!
Out of the nine people living here, such crazy things have been going on. Between all of us there are 4 cars. 2 have been broken. (one is fixed now) Our money situation is very precarious. Money shortage has gotten worse and expenses are piling up.
Sickness has abounded over the last few weeks with the words "highly contagious" being tossed about right and left. Flu, boils, pink eye, strep throat, and something called Mersa which can be deadly and is a flesh eating staph infection. (poor STB son-in-law, he just got home from the hospital today)
Money, cars, and sickness and getting everyone where they need to be when they need to be there has become a logistical nightmare.
I had a breakdown today while working and I was not alone. I have been handling it all so well until today and it all just crashed in on me. I was alone in the back part of the house and trying to pray about it all and I just broke down. I was crying. I think I was one level beneath a panic attack. The dog came back to comfort me. The lady came back to look for the dog and caught me crying so I explained all the stresses assaulting us right now. She was sweet about it. I finally called H, my stabilizing force, and that helped too.
Now the good news. STB SIL is home from the hospital and one of the cars is back so the logistical nightmare will be better. The car was a simple problem and cost nothing to fix. Most of the health conditions are better or under control.
The financial situation is still at critical mass and a lot of other stressers abound but I did manage to wrestle my faith and trust in God back into place.
Life should not be allowed to throw this much on a person all at once. We are trying to focus on a rebuilding here!!! C'mon life....give a person a break once in a while would ya? I feel like we are hacking our way through a jungle just to get through the next few months.
Sleep will help. G'nite
