I have got to say that I have had an absolutely frustrating and bad week. My car broke, I almost got in a really bad car accident (one that I have no doubt would have put me IN the hospital instead of working there), I got stranded in Minot and had to be towed and wait for Chris and Craig (brother-in-law) come rescue me, I hit broken gravel and had my hub caps (I think that's what they are called...the metal caps in the middle of tires) go flying off behind me, the dogs ran away from me TWICE in the SAME day, Blue was neutered and I have been worried about him pulling out the stitches and had more swelling and redness than is "normal." I have been soooo tired and having to drive about three hours round trip to and from work has not helped my mood this week. Needless to say, I just wanted to climb into my bed, pull the covers over my head and not see daylight for a while. But that's just not how life is, I have to keep getting up and trying to make today better than yesterday. Especially since my brother-in-law and his family are coming this weekend to stay with us for a week. I need to get my house and myself ready for visitors. But first I needed a little me time so I checked my email and Facebook. I am beyond grateful that some of my friends posted this video:
I am still very emotionally and physically exhausted but I feel a smidge better. I need to focus on the fact that at least Blue and Cocoa are healthy enough to run away from me; that at least I have a vehicle that was getting me to work and a husband and brother-in-law who CAN fix my car and make it all better; that I have a house to clean; that I have family that loves us and wants to spend some time with us. Life may be hard but at least I am still living and breathing. Something that car accident could have very well taken from me. Car accidents are something that we see at the hospital (twice in this week) and so I know how horrible car accidents can be and how much they can take away from the victims. Anyways, I am just grateful that the Lord is watching over me and didn't let anything happen to me yesterday and that I have such wonderful family and friends watching over me.
Side note: This video is even more special to me because it begins with a quote from President Gordon B. Hinckley, my favorite prophet in this dispensation, and then ends with a quote from President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, my favorite apostle :-)
Well I guess I should get up and clean for FAMILY :-D
