The Days Just Keep Getting Harder

So here we are on Thursday, just 2 short days before Halloween. My life is completely insane as is at the moment. My list of to-dos is still extremely long and my morning started off pretty funky anyway because I woke up with my back hurting. So here I sit pondering on the internet what crochet patterns I want to work on and looking for a recipe for Carolina BBQ for tomorrow, I get the call. :(

    What call you ask? The call from him to tell me he's just gotten bad news. Immediately my heart sinks… asking him what's wrong? He just found out that he's been laid off as the company he works for is doing budget cuts and is letting 1/4 of the company go. Well because he is a temp still, he's one of the first! :( So immediately I go into "freak-out" mode… stressing because it's the holidays, we are struggling as is, there are 5 kids in the house and now this?

    I have really just gotten to the point of no return. I cannot take anymore… the curve balls are coming a little quicker and a lot harder and I'm not sure that I can continue to dodge them! I know deep in my heart that this will pass just like all the others but it's really beginning to get hard to cope with. There is so much going on in my life and I officially feel like I'm on the bottom.

    There are days I wonder if life will ever get off the windy, bumpy road that it's on and straighten out. I know deep down that it will eventually all be fine but what about now? What do I do to continue to get through every day while I'm still traveling this path? I've been told all along that this wasn't going to be easy, that it would be a strenuous climb straight up the mountain side but GEEZ, really? Don't you think I've dealt with enough? How much more does one think I can take? If it's not one thing it's another…

    Luckily I have a few people in my life who do care enough to call and check on me from time to time and will listen when I need them the most! You know who you are!!!! Ok, so well enough of the "whine"…

    So my list of to-dos… I think it keeps growing but oh well, it will get finished eventually and everything will be marked off as complete!!!

/Sugar Cookie Halloween Costume

/Ace of spades Halloween Costume

/7 Christmas Stockings (1 completed)

/ Christmas Tree Ornaments (5 completed)

/ 5 Afghans

/ Teacher Gifts

/ Christmas Decorations

That's all that's on the list as of this very moment but I'm sure it will change… at which time I will update it! If you have gotten to the bottom of this blog, thanks for reading it as I'm sure no one really cares about my babbling! Really didn't intend for it to be quite so long!!!!
