What a week

Wow...what a week.

Our mortgage company totally bungled our account...and, naturally, being the government entity that it is, no one had a clue what was going on. I think we've gotten it straightened out now...time will tell.

David was finally able to go back to work yesterday after a week long bout with vaccine-related issues. I'll just leave it as that...don't want to stir up too much controversy...not at this point in my week anyway.

And they say things happen in threes...and it seems we've gotten our third *hit*. A week ago I was running a little late with my cycle...and since I had a test that was expiring at the end of the month, I decided to take it. Shockingly it was positive! It was a digital test...so it's not like I could miss the word *pregnant* on it. It took us a couple days to start to adjust...but then I was overwhelmed with the fact that I had said that *if* I were to have another baby, I would want it to be between 18 - 22 months younger than Noelle. Specifically, this was the ideal cycle...making Noelle and Blessing #8 exactly 18 months apart. Of course, I wanted the baby to be a girl, too...so Noelle would have a playmate. Tuesday I started spotting...yesterday it got a little heavier...and this morning my temp is definitely on the way down and the bleeding is heavier still. Now I have a lot of questions...most I'm too embarrassed to type here...cuz most would think I'm out of my mind...lol

All I can say is...I'm glad this week is over...and if I could just sleep until Monday I would be utterly content!

I hate vaccines

I'm really beginning to think that vaccines are just a plot by the government(s) to kill us all! Look at what's in them, for Pete's sake!

A couple of years ago, Chris and I both came down with the mumps. Amazingly, both of us had been vaccinated against them. The funny thing was that Kyle and Joshua were both sleeping in my bed (David was driving OTR at the time)...neither of them had been vaccinated...and neither of them got it! Now David has issues caused by the mumps virus. He was vaccinated...so what the heck! Seems to me that maybe it's the VACCINATION...you know...the live virus lying dormant in our bodies just waiting for something to trigger it into action.

So...David's been out of work since last Wednesday...and we're doing everything we can to get him back on his feet. It's very frustrating...especially since he works on commission....ugh! Thankfully his boss is working with him. I know we'll get through this...health-wise as well as financially...just frustrating to be *here*....just when things seemed to be getting some momentum.

Yuck

I'm having one of those days where I just want to sit and cry. In all reality, my life isn't all that bad...but I seem to be honing in on all the little negative details that irk me. You know...things like chores not being done...kids sitting on their butts doing nothing...laundry coming out my ears...not to mention the things on a bigger scale like the election and the economy...

So here I sit feeling sorry for myself...and quite content to do so...at least for the moment. Hmmm....wonder if being out of my B Complex has anything to do with it...

Bailout Baloney!

Be prepared that I'm not completely coherent on this...just too stinkin' frustrated!

Who do these people think they're fooling? What makes them think that most Americans changed THEIR minds between the beginning and the end of the week? The price tag went up $150 billion to entice legislators to screw their constituents and they fell for it. How stupid can you be?

This country has become a joke. Constitution....what Constitution? I think Jay Leno said it best...we might as well send it to Iraq for them to use...we're obviously not using it!

The big banks want us totally dependent on credit...so they can yank it out from under us whenever they feel like it...and leave everyone else with nothing. Can you say *communist*???

So...I also hear that it will cost each American taxpayer $10,000 in the end. Of course, the Congress says it won't...but they also think we change our minds like we change our underwear!

I surely wish I could sound intelligent here...but I'm just too frustrated.

When David had his accident a little over a year ago, it really put us in a financial bind. It took us 6 months...and lots of fighting with the insurance company....to get a ridiculous $3000 that was supposed to cover the $25000 we lost in wages and items that went up in flames with the truck. Nobody bailed us out...and that wasn't even our fault! (We did have some wonderful friends who blessed us during that time...and we are VERY grateful for each one.)

So why bail out a bunch of greedy bankers who got their hands caught in the cookie jar? It's really ridiculous.

Someone sent a video in to a list I'm on...and it's very interesting. Here's the link if you're interested. It's almost 2 hours...but very informative.
