This summer was supposed to be relaxing...

I have replaced the word relaxing with a few others:
  • uneasy because I am pretty sure that I just broke my favorite camera lens. (just months outside it's warranty) Pretty sick to my stomach.
  • Also sick because of how much time I have taken off this past month. 
  •  Very unexcited to do laundry that is currently in heaps.
  • Annoyed that we might have to replace Holly Hybrid. (my car) She's definitely not been behaving.
  • Stressed for my also stressed husband who continues to prepare for his DAT exam for dental school. I helped him study the other night and left with a huge headache. Overwhelmed at the material, I asked him, "don't you ever want to just QUIT?" His response, "no." He's crazy. :) Better him in school than me I guess.
  •  Completely nervous and excited at the fact that I have just over 3 months until I am a Mother of 2. The said laundry heaps will surely double. The car/school/work stresses will remain present. There will be lots less sleep. I will have to buy diapers again. 
...But then I remember the answered prayer that this is and I feel peace. This has brought us such clarity and understanding. There are times when I think that we're crazy for having another right now, but the thought quickly leaves my mind when I remember all the spiritual experiences we've had leading up to this little spirit. 

...and really it's what keeps me going.
