Roller Coaster

Before anything else: A very happy birthday to the bestest hubby in the whole wide world :-) I love you!

Okey dokey, here's the scoop: sometimes life just goes crazy. This week was not crazy in a busy sense, but in a stress sense. I was a roller coaster of emotions all over the place.

Let's start with the good!
- Troy got the 'promotion' at work! It's not so much as a promotion as much as it is a change of jobs at the same company. The good thing about it is that he is finally full-time salaried! The past few years with Troy working freelance have been stressful for me. I like knowing what is going on and how much we are making, and that was not the case :-) But, despite that, it was good for me because God showed me that he will provide for us no matter what.
- We got a new car. Well, new for us. Since we know how much Troy will be making on a consistent basis now we got a car to replace the one that died a few weeks ago. It is a few years old, low miles, and a car payment....talk about stress....that idea still kind of makes me cringe. There is nothing wrong with a car payment, I just never grew up with that being the norm and the thought of it is kinda scary. BUT, we got an amazing interest rate so that helps with the stress level :-)

And....the bad....
- I had a small scratch that ended up getting infected and making my life miserable for several days. It kept me from nursing much during this time so I am still dealing with trying to get my supply back up and with it continuing to heal. Lots of stress involved with that because the idea of stopping breastfeeding makes me extremely sad....not to mention much more expensive.
- Since today was hubby's B-day we were going to go to the park before he went to work. Got the baby ready, got in the car......and nothing happened. Thankfully this is not the new car, but we are praying it is an easy fix because 2 new cars in a month is just not possible. We have thought of having just one car, but we just aren't sure how that would work with hubby's work schedule.
- The remote for our parking gate is not working. I was told by the manager yesterday to go buy a new battery.....how am I supposed to do that when my car is locked in and my husband is at work until 4am? So I went today (after waiting for someone else to use their remote to open the gate) and can't find the battery. Now I just have to get ahold of the manager....not so easy to do....and try to get a new remote. Soooo frustrating.

So, that was my crazy emotional roller coaster of a week. Up, down, up, down....up mixed with down, down mixed with up....etc :-)

Sincerely,
