The last few months have been a roller coaster for me. Some of it I have blogged about and some of it I have been writing about in my journals. I have to admit that I have been tempted to air it all on my blog, but I know in the end that that is not the right thing to do. It won’t make the situation better. Instead, I have used my blog and tried to focus on me and things that I have done and been doing to make myself a better person. I hope that by writing about how I have worked to become a better person, it will be cathartic for myself and maybe a learning experience for others.
I would like to thank those friends and family that have really counseled me through this difficult time and the hard decisions that I have been faced with. The support that I have received from those that know me best has been incredible.

The craziness seemed to amp up for me when I had my first accident in December. Most recently, the last three weeks have been super stressful. Along with the crazy that was happening here, my sister from my husbands’ mother has had her own crazy to deal with. Things would wind down with me and wind up with her. We were stuck in a crazy cycle together and while I am extremely grateful that I had her and Super Handsome’s mother (and Super Handsome as well) to iMessage through the crazy.... I know that she and I are crossing our fingers, hair, toes and anything else possible that things go back to a regular kind of normal. Yay for sisters from another mother! I am so grateful that I have had the opportunity to become closer to her and my FABULOUS MIL in the last year. And an added bonus for me, they have really stepped up in my life when I have needed the extra support recently.
Despite my hopes, last week was kind of a downer week. Super Handsome was in Paris starting his new job. Personally I was hoping that it would be a good week. I had a lot to look forward to as my FABULOUS MIL was staying in London with one of her good friends. I was looking forward to dragging the kids down and doing some touristy things with them. We ended up in London twice for short visits, the kids were not feeling all that well so we were not able to visit as often as we had hoped. There has been a nasty tummy bug traveling though our house!
Then, on Tuesday after we returned from London, the crazies struck again.... this time I had a minor fender bender that was my fault. The girl that I scraped started to get confrontational with me. I thought to myself, great, she wants to get into a screaming match in the middle of a busy street. I calmly diffused the situation and handed her all my information. Sadly, I did not manage to get any of hers.
The accident really drove my anxieties though the roof (I have horrible anxiety sometimes). Between my anxiety and the tummy bug (that was very persistent) we did not manage to go to London during the day, but we did go in and have dinner at a cool pub called the Sherlock Holmes.
My FABULOUS MIL and her friend left the next day. The night before we had planned to come down and have lunch with them before they left. The kids and I were going to do an activity in London after they left. Sadly the crazies struck again, as the tummy bug was still persistently sticking around my house and then things got a little hectic for them when their driver showed up 3 hours early.
I have had my share of the crazies lately, let’s raise our glasses together and hope for some ‘normal’ life! I need the opportunity to stop dealing with the curve balls that life throws me so I can deal with the all important ‘to do’ list. The taxes are looming! Eeek!
