I didn't realize it was raining...

...until it started pouring! What a crazy couple of weeks! I was supposed to take last week off from work for some "personal" time following some bad news on the adoption front. I did take last week off, and had a great time at my cousin's graduation party in Houston. I went to Schliterbahn and slid down some scary stuff. Went to Kemah and ate at Joe's Crab Shack on the pier. Even had Blue Bell birthday cake ice cream in a sprinkled chocolate dipped waffle cone...YUM!! Got to have lunch with some of my family and friends from high school. Then, here's a list of what happened next:

1. While to roofers were taking off our roof, they jostled the pipes leading into our guest bathroom. Pipes busted and sent water into our bathroom, hallway, and what will be the baby room. 3 days of industrial dryers and humidifiers to get the carpets and pads taken care of, and left with a 2' x 4' hole in our guest bathroom wall for the guy to fix the pipe.

2. Then, I get a call from my dad that he is going to have a heart procedure on Thursday, and he asked me to stay, since I was already in Houston. Of course I did, and when they did the procedure, they found a 90% blockage. They fixed it, and sent him on his way.

3. Literally, 5 minutes after my dad called about his stuff, Kevin calls about having busted his calf muscle in the kickball game. Keep in mind, I'm in Houston, and can't do anything to help.

4. Then, immediately after my dad's procedure, I developed bronchitis, that has latched on and won't let go. By the grace of God, I was able to drive home on Saturday. Now, after 5 days of running a low grade fever, and feeling like an elephant backed up and sat on me, or maybe a donkey kicked me, or maybe a dump truck ran me over, or perhaps more like LeBron James (the beating part...I don't feel defeated just yet...haha), I'm ready for this crap to be over.

My "natural girlish figure" is ready to get out and about. CSI marathons only entertain for so long. Although, I wonder how it is that I can watch so many, and hardly see one I've seen before. Must be a ton of them. Anyway...it's my anniversary today...so much for celebrating. All I want is to 1. stop coughing, and 2. feel better!!!
