My karma must be on the low side… This past week I had to call my roadside assistance three different times, only to find my husband’s POS Land Rover needs about $2000 dollars worth of work. Then my teenager spent all night Thursday and all day Friday barfing his guts out. My daughter has been complaining about not feeling well and last of all my littlest has been running a fever for 3 days. Now my stomach is rumbling, arghhhhh.

These are the times that are the most challenging as a parent. Living on very little sleep, wondering who is going to go down next, and trying to keep up my own strength so that I might be spared from the puke-fest.

All this comes among the good news that my husband will be returning from Iraq sometime during the week of the 15th. Things should be turning around to the light shortly, good karma don’t fail me now.
