A Season Of Tests

My day has been a cluster of exhaustion and stress.  Many of you know my family is struggling this Holiday Season and I thank you all for your support.  Every day since then has brought a new catastrophe and a little more stress.  I am trying to not get upset by it, and instead think of it as I am being tested.  The Universe is testing my limits and I refuse to break.  Does that make sense?  

I have not slept in over 34 hours.  Max The Insane decided that there was a big scary tree outside and barked from about 12:30am to about 7:00am when the Sun came up.  I am thinking that is when he realized that Sasquatch wasn't outside threatening his farm and it was indeed, a stick or something.  I therefore had to cancel our fun for this morning because I did not feel safe to drive with the kids in the car.  The were supposed to have ECFE this morning and I am almost positive it was Christmas Craft Day!  :(

That was closely followed by Keith arriving home to tell me that the transmission is out on the truck.  Oh you heard me, the stupid truck broke down on his way home from the Chiropractor he has to continue seeing.  Bad news followed by bad news.  But you know what?  I refuse to let this all win.  It is a test and it is a test I fully intend to conquer.  We have to get ready for Hockey, and I need to make another pot of coffee, but I will be blogging again tonight.  I have some super fun stuff to fill you in on, but I just needed to fill you all in on my Holiday Season Hypothesis, lol.

Enjoy your day!!!
