I don't think it's a big secret I've been kind of mad at God lately. Between Ian's leg/surgery issues, plumbing issues, Catholic school tuition issues, sick kids, work problems, and other day-to-day little issues (like the window that doubles as a shower), I feel like I've been under a perpetual Black Cloud of Doom.
But, I've had such a terrific week or so, I was starting to think maybe it was just hormones or my imagination and possibly I've been blowing things out of proportion. I mean, God doesn't really hate me, does he? That couldn't be right.
And then he sent the locusts....or, as we like to call them down here in New Orleans - termites. That's right folks. We have termites - tons of them. When we turned on the hallway light they came out of the attic last night. For anyone not in New Orleans - termites = big, fat, no es bueno.
NO ES BUENO!!!!
Really, God? Really?
Looking at this list, I can check off 5/10 items checked off in the last month. This does not bode well.

You make me smile hon..
I dont think God is after you ... have faith and get a fumigator...
you will be fine... however sometimes it nice to just vent or scream at the unfairness of it all..
I know I do - even the neighbour joins me on a few occasion..
Happy thoughts your way today...
E.H>
Oh Patti... **Passes Patti my shirt of "Been there, Done that... Have the Orkin bill to prove it"
Yep, I know what you are going through and nope ~ it is not fun.
God does not hate you, He just knows how much you can handle, and it seems He has a lot of faith in you honey!! *big grin ~ looks at shirt again* That is why we are women honey... Because we can handle more than men.
Hugs to you honey! And yes... sending many happy thoughts your way today!!
I wish I was there to hand over a huge, heavy-handed margarita. You need one.
Or two.
Or ten.
Chin up boo, you got this!!
I feel for you! It is incredibly frustrating when you are getting by one bad thing, and then another, and there does not seem to be any breaks! Ugh!
5 out of the 10 have hit you? Ouch! So sorry, but from experience, things do tend to go back towards the up-swing of good. I am sending you happy vibes to help give you a moment of peace until you hit the up-swing.
I love ya, Hon. I just can't leave town for any reason any more. Everytime I come back, shit happens!!!!!
EH: Thanks - I think blogging about it is my way of letting off steam...
Thanks Cecile! We've been there also - our last house had to be tented :(
Hannah: Yup, margaritas would make this all better :)
ibeeeg: That's exactly it - I feel like once we get over one thing and can finally breathe then something else takes it's place. I'm ready for my upswing!
Maj. Dad: I'll write a note to your boss telling him you can't go out of town anymore!
That's what friends are for honey!!
**pours in a little more tequila in the margarita while Hannah fixes it**
Didn't you know when it rains it pours? Yes, even in your wall. But think of it this way....once you're bombarded with all the sh*t you can handle, it will be all over until the next deluge. Hopefully that won't be for another 20 years!.....Auntie M
If it makes you feel any better...all my kitchen appliances are talking to one another and they have decided they are all going on strike at the same time!....Auntie M
