Well.

I really want to blog. I do. It is good to blog, because I don't keep a journal...and this, well, kinda serves that purpose. BUT...I am not in such a great place, and so everything I think about writing turns out a bit sad, or lame, or WORSE--super negative.

I have a kabillion blessings to count...and I am really plugging along here just fine really...

but...

work sucks, health sucks, pregnancy sucks, finances suck, and just about everything else....sucks...

SEE--I told you. NegAtive! I hate it. It doesn't actually suck as bad as it could...so I guess I better just stop and revel in the Christmas spirit--which is the opposite of sucking. I love it! Plus, I have a TON to be happy about. So come on, get happy---RIGHT! OK. I will work on that.

You know though, sometimes you need to write it down to get it out of your system. Then there is room for positivity! It helps me anyway.
Also, you're pregnant!? Congrats! How did I miss that one?

It is true that it can always be worse, but I have always had difficulty with that saying, and perhaps it deserves its own post. How can trials be measured? They can't and shouldn't be compared. You are having a hard time right now and it is okay to feel that way, no matter what anybody else is going through. You guys have a lot on your plate right now, but you are a remarkable woman with a remarkable husband and you guys will only be strengthened through these difficulties. I know that never seems to lull the pain, and is totally cliche, but I believe it. I am so sorry things suck right now, I hope it gets better. Wish we lived closer. We miss you guys!

Sorry about the novel ;)

today i was focused back to the fact we all need to appreciate the little things in life. healthy children, love and good friends and family. There are to many times in life that we focus on our daily pains and struggles instead of on our overall blessings. Keep your head up things are never as bad as they seem.

Are you pregnant? If so, congrats! You are awesome and so is Darren. I'm sure everything will work out and eventually you'll look back on this time and be grateful for what you learned from your struggles. We'll keep you in our prayers. I'm sorry things suck right now!

Back up! You are pregnant again??? Congrats!

As for the sucking - turns out, its ok to acknowledge the crappiness that gets thrown at us in life. Not everything has to be sunshine and roses and it can be really stifling to feel as if you have to restrict all commentary only to the happy stuff. There is something to be said for telling it like it really is.
