How was your week?

My week started out excellent, granted it was very busy, but it was overall great. I worked 57 hours, and was excited about seeing my niece and nephew on Friday. Then, no hey we made it phone call. I knew my brother and his fiancée were planning to crash at my cousins house, but I still expected the courtesy of a phone call that they had made the trip. Saturday I went to men's breakfast at 7am, had a great talk about being made in the image of God, worked from 8am until 7pm, went home to a BBQ for my birthday, expecting to see great friends and my family. Friends were there, wife, child, dog, no sign of the brother and his family, I had called Friday, his phone was off. So much for the BBQ, I wonder if we'll still golf like we had planned. Up early Sunday morning, great worship service, tired but excited, text message, we're at the ferry, see you guys this weekend in Powell River...needless to say I was LIVID. While taking some time to cool off I find out wifey had sent a text explaining her frustrations with the whole situation, she gets her head bitten off by my brothers fiancee. At this point wifey should have just gone with a "fair enough" and let it go, but that's no the girl I married :) Sheena then mentions the lack of courtesy that was shown ect...and receives the following text back "You're a real bitch, you should take a pregnancy test." Oh family, oh love, wow, kill shot. Horrible as those comments are, here are some underlying realities in our lives, this weekend wifey's sister had a miscarriage, also, we've been trying for almost a year to have a second baby. It's to the point that once a month we tend to get a little upset... her more then me but it's frustrating. So ya, how was your week?

That was depressing

No blogs, why? I'm spent, finished, done. Not with blogging but wow what a first four months of 2011. Turns out it takes a lot of work to pull straight A's, on top of that my client at work didn't get any less demanding during that time...not to mention my volunteer leadership at the church...was a harder 4 months then usual with me stepping into roles I havn't done for years so I could cover for someone who had decided to quit. There have been some serious emotional roller coasters in that time as well that I'm refusing to talk about...long story short I'm exhausted and was looking forward to a summer of nothing, but instead I'm playing baseball, my neck only sort of better (sure to be worse by the end of the season) and I'll be working 50 hour weeks until the end of June...my May camping trip is exciting me a lot, just my and my best buddy and a canoe.
