Forgive my infrequent blogging the last several days, but it would seem that our family has adopted a new slogan/old adage, "when it rains, it pours" as of late, that has me feeling moody - and not in the mood to write blogs.
In the grand scheme of things, all is well - everyone is healthy, our family is together for the summer and enjoying much r&r and fun times together....but in the "little" things - we've been hit with the whammy's and the double whammy's that have taken a toll on our finances, and for some reason that always seems HUGE when you're in the thick of it. I guess it takes blogging to realize that we're all fine, healthy, together, enjoying our summer to realize that "that money stuff" isn't so important....as long as we make our house payment and pay our bills (fingers crossed). Just one of those months I guess - that has me feeling sorry for myself and wishing that life didn't fall on our heads all at once.
From physicals and dentist appointments for Owen before school starts, to a rather pricey trip to the dentist for Steve (and more to come), an upcoming dentist appointment for AJ, a trip to the eye doctor for me, and a $60 bottle of eyedrops for my scratched cornea. Not to mention still recovering from Owen's trip to the specialist in Atlanta last month and upcoming therapies- NONE of which are covered by our insurance. Throw on top of that everyone's recent burden of increased prices of groceries (and our family of always-hungry boys) and gas at $5 a gallon and I'm just over here taking a deep breath and hoping we get through the worst of it soon.
When it rains, it pours, indeed.
Where's my umbrella?
