Do you ever get the feeling that just when you think you can't handle one more thing in your life, you get dumped on?? And maybe that "one more thing" isn't huge, it's just the straw that breaks the camels back. Life is stressful. I'm use to that. I can handle that. I like it better when my husband has a job that lets him live in the same state that the kids and I live in. And it's even nicer when we live at our own house! That doesn't seem like too much to ask for. But until that is, I can handle life. I don't like it, but I can handle it.

Sunday after church I took a nap. I always come home from church, get back into my pj's, fix pancakes for my kids and take a nap. It's not glamorous, it just is. Sunday was no different. Only it was. Somewhere between the stripping down to my pj's, and getting up Monday morning I lost my wedding ring. I always put it in the same place. ALWAYS. It's not there. In fact, it's not anywhere. We have torn this place apart looking for it. It's like it just vanished! I am so sad.

Today I went to the temple. I try to go on Tuesday mornings. Helps me get through the week. When I got out of the temple, I had a message from Landon to call him, so I did. He then proceeds to inform me that his truck, that we just spent a boat load of money on to fix a few months back, is back in the shop. Only this time, it just needs A NEW ENGINE! A new engine??? I'm no mechanic, but that can't be cheap! What to do? He can't sell it like that, and well he has to have a car. It's not like he can use mine until he figures something else out!

And so here we are. Sunday morning, I didn't think my life could get much harder. Today, I laugh at that naive fool! Someday, this will all be a distant memory, and hopefully I will have learned something from it all and will be a much stronger person because of it. SOMEDAY...
