LIFE!

I guess the word "life" sums up how my week has been. First of all, I'm still pregnant..who knew?!! According to the doctor yesterday, I am STILL 1-2 cm, 75% effaced and the baby is still at -2 station. SOOO, I am scheduled to go in for an ultrasound on Jan 10, which is my due date, to see how big the baby is and THEN we will discuss the options of induction or WHAT!! Can you say disappointed? I was just devasted. Reason being, I have had contrations for days and they won't regulate into a consistent pattern. So, I was just certain that something had changed. But NOOOO! Anyway, my theory is that Sullivan is holding the baby hostage...ha!ha! I guess we can look at it like I explained to Spencer, another day the baby is not with us, he/she is with Sullivan, and that is a wonderful thing!

Enough baby talk! We discovered a water damage spot in the dining room and little did we know we had a crack in the bottom of our shower...GREAT! We just finished paying $850 the week before christmas to have the roof fixed from leaking outside. THEN, on new year's night I was doing my usual bank account update and found some charges that are not mine...or Tim's. After some investigating, it seems as though I have been a victim of fraud...I feel so VIOLATED! The bank has been notified, and we are in the process of getting my money back {$260+} Nice way to start a new year. It seems like we {I} have really been tested lately. I know that it is just satan trying to get me down, but I guess I can just do as Sullivan use to say, as he brushed off his shoulders, "Get off my back Satan." I think that is one of Uncle Bo's favorite memories of him.

We hope all is well with everyone. I know your week has to be a little better than mine...well...except maybe Leslie! But as we know, everything happens for a reason, and our character is formed by how we handle things that happen to us, not by the number of things that happen to us.
