I hate coming to my blog just to complain, which is why things have been quiet. Life over the past week has been… challenging. You know, sick husband, acts of nature destroying some of our property, summer colds, crazy schedules.  The usual.

*sigh*

At one point last week, I just sat there and literally started counting my (many) blessing out loud because for the past few weeks it seems like if we didn’t have bad luck, we didn’t have any luck at all.  Thankfully life goes on and what seemed overwhelming and nausea-inducing last week seems manageable and  under control this week.  Perhaps the day-long wine tour on Saturday with some of my favorite relatives to celebrate my brother’s upcoming wedding helped!

It certainly didn’t hurt!

Now life’s getting back to normal. The Hubs is hanging in there and I’m bound and determined to suck out every ounce of fun from our last 3 weeks of summer because this time is going by way too fast for me! I checked out library books today and they are due back in September- I almost choked. The Heat’s aren’t going down without a fight- just as soon as we all stop blowing our noses/coughing up a lung.
