We have definitely had a bad streak of luck over the past few months and are praying that things are looking up for our family in 2013.
My modified schedule is ending this weekend and I will return back to work full time.
I am convinced my prayers are being heard that we need things to calm back down in our lives.
In order to remember this hectic time I will rehash some of the recent life events.
Poor softa had 3 vertigo attacks over the course of a month. During each of them she was laid up in our family room on our sleeper sofa from 3-5+ days. She is now living with us till the end of the month until she moves into her apartment. No longer on the sofa as we moved her into our 4th bedroom and are in the process of getting her a day bed with a trundle. She is feeling better and things are looking up!
Papu had a TIA (aka. mini stroke, two days before Thanksgiving) which also happened to be the same day that Softa had a vertigo attack. Crazy life!
the Mr. and Papu were driving home from Thanksgiving dinner on 485 (major highway that loops around Charlotte) and were hit by a drunk driver from behind at 8 pm at night. thankfully the Mr is a super duper driver and somehow was able to gain control of his car without it spinning out or flipping. his car is totaled, the driver was charged and we are patiently awaiting the drivers court date. thankfully both the Mr and Papu survived without any major damage to themselves but the Mr. definitely had whip lash and required many visits to the chiropractor. as a result we had to rush into buying him a new car once the insurance totaled his car and settled the property damage. we are so thankful they are both OK, but devastated that we lost a car that was paid in full and had many more years of driving left on it. the Mr. found a 2007 Toyota Camry with low miles that he purchased last week and is now driving around town. the stress this situation placed on our family could not have had worse timing.
the following week I came down with the stomach virus after all of us finally started to feel better after having a viral infection for over 6 weeks. mayer and asher both got ear infections.

admist everything Softa finally closed on their house, which makes the sale of their house one of he longest and drawn out closings in the history of real estate. not really, but it felt like it. buying and selling homes these days is brutal. they make nothing easy. we are thrilled this burden is no longer upon our family.
to add fuel to the fire our deep freezer tripped the outlet and we lost everything in our deep freezer including my precious breast milk I had been saving. DEVASTATED. liquid gold gone. tears.
