so last week was draining. we are having our fair share of financial woes right now. passports, doctors, prescriptions, car shop, vet bills, ETC. ugh. everyone deals with it. but we're having a "when it rains it pours" time right now. even elena's car got totaled this weekend. thankfully she's ok.

jax is so sick. he can't get well. he saw his allergist. attempted to see the pediatrician. but due to the dumbassness in their office we had to reschedule and we're going back tomorrow. he had a CT scan today of his sinuses. i'm praying so very hard for him to get well. i want a solution to him always being ill. :( so sad.

the land taxes are due. we have to pay the federal government almost a thousand dollars. apparently they didn't take enough money from us throughout the year. UGH. Ugh. UGH. so thoroughly frustrated.

my neck is back to sucking. my shoulder too. i keep threatening to cut each of them off. i'm told that probably won't end well. eh.

I JUST WANT TO CATCH A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm trying to be positive. but i'm pretty down on everything right now. chin up. right? it'll get better. i'm being tested, right? i don't want much. i really don't. but i want to not have certain stresses hanging over me anymore. maybe that IS too much to ask!!!

ok. stop. regroup. i don't want to throw ANOTHER pity party. so i'll just stop here. positives?

working out is going well. eric has been cooking some yummy, healthy things. everyone (but Jax) is healthy. even the doggies are well.

we all have our passports applied for. the cruise is halfway paid off. we're going to pennsylvania in march. ....looking for the positives. ummm... johnny is doing good in school. my mama loves me. my daddy loves me. my hubby loves me. my kids love me. i have the best sisters in the world. there ARE positives.

i'm gonna end on that note. i'm super tired. was up and down with jackson last night. he's sick. and he's still my baby! good night.
