Somebody call 911

So when it rains it pours, I think I have always hated that saying but lately it has been true.

Not sure if my family reads this post (my Mom, Sisters, Brother and I definitely know that my Dad doesn't).

Not sure why the earth seems to fall out beneath you all in one big motion, maybe it because I have been reading the Hunger Games and that story bouncing around in my head seems to make things worse. I need to stick with love stories I suppose.

I don't want to get into much detail other than, I love my little family, I love talking to Ben about crazy things going on and he doesn't think that I am crazy, he just sends me down a path of trying to do the right thing and tries to help me understand why people act the way they do.

I hope people know that I may not be perfect and want to do what's right in every situation I can. I will still make mistakes and sometimes will do the right thing. I will always cheer for the underdog and can't help laughing sometimes when it's not appropriate. (nerves)

I want to send a shout out to people who still love me even though I can have a sharp tongue and will accept me for the way that I am.

My family (not my kids or Ben, but my side) has had some hard times the last couple days and has sent me into a whirl wind of deep thoughts and sent me some strong messages of learning from others mistakes.

I woke up 2 days ago about 3am feeling as if I had been hit by a truck. As the day progressed my sickness got worse, it has been a really long time since I laid in bed ALL DAY LONG. Luckily Ben was off and shut my door and kept the kids busy. I got caught up on some of my shows that I normally don't have time for and took a hot bath every few hours (5 total) it seemed to be the only thing that took my body aches away. I missed out on a GNO day date, that we had planned for a while, I was so disappointed. Today day 3 of being sick I feel better enough that I finally ate something and have been out of bed and walked all the way into the kitchen. Maybe I am just a wimp, but man this has been brutal. By the way if you are wondering how to loose 5 lbs in 3 days, get strep throat.

On a Target side note, they want to appraise our house again, and for some reason it completely stresses me out. I know my house is a "cookie cutter" house, it is not custom (like I wish it could be) and that is has depreciated in value. Thank you Mr. Economy. I guess I don't like the appraisers coming to my house to tell me things I already know. But I will jump through the hoops they need me to like de-cluttering, cleaning, curb appeal and whatever else I can done in the short time frame.
They are appraising it for a possible relocation package they did this when they thought Ben might be going to Canada. We haven't heard anything about Ben being relocated other than there is a lot of STL movement up North towards Riverdale through the Centerville area. Which is more than 50 miles so they do an appraisal for a possible relocation. But I am not holding my breath.
