The Craziness! The Sanity! Nope...Just My Typical Life

This week has been, in my opinion, a highly AWFUL week!  On Saturday I went to the ER with severe pain in my neck where a lump was.  I was given pain meds and told to follow up with my family doctor.  On Sunday, church was evacuated early due to a suspected gas leak in the building.  Turned out to be from the river. :(  Monday morning I went to the dentist for what I thought was a cavity...nope.  Some kind of weird infection that needs antibiotics and a root canal.  Later that day, I was in a pretty bad car wreck and was able to get the car up to the shop just to be told that it couldn't be driven off the lot.  Tuesday morning we were scheduled to drop off the car Ryan is driving to be worked on.  So we were now without a car.  Also on Tuesday, I go to the doctor and find out I have a lipoma on my neck that needs to be surgically removed due to the location and amount of pain it is causing me.  Later that night I realize I have a Urinary Tract Infection...good thing I am already on antibiotics.  Wednesday morning I get a call from Lexi's dentist and my insurance has refused to pay for the her procedure and that will be an additional $1100 out of pocket on top of the $500 I already paid.  Oh, and the procedure is Friday and they need the $1100 before the procedure.  Then Wednesday afternoon, Lexi's bus was involved in an accident on the way home from school.  She hit her head pretty hard and complained of a headache all night.  Due to the amount of pain I have been in I have had to call in to work.  I am also going to have surgery and will be missing for that so I filed for FMLA.  I received an email this morning informing me that I do not qualify for FMLA since I am part-time.  I work 1248 hrs/year and you have to work a minimum of 1250 hrs/year. 

I would say Can anything else go wrong??  But I know it can.  I am simply at this point looking for the light at the end of the tunnel; trying to hold my head up out of the water.  I know that these things are so trivial and in the end it doesn't matter.  We truly are blessed.  We have 2 healthy, beautiful children.  A warm home.  Wonderful family and friends.  In the end, most of this has turned out ok.  However my 'sanity net' is getting pretty thin. With each problem I feel it weakening.  There are so many things breaking it down and that is fine.  I just need to find something to help build it up in between the madness.  I find strength in my Savior.  I know that He has gone through exactly what I am feeling.  No one understands what I am going through...but He does.  I have found myself calling people this week, just to "vent" but in all reality, He is the one who would understand me the most.  His comfort is above all others.  His advice and guidance is who's I should seek.  And for this I am blessed.
