bad times

Have you ever had a week that you just wish would end... and fast?? Thus has been my week... They say that bad things happen in 3s and this week has been proof in the pudding... let me first start by saying that I had a wonderful time with my father-in-law this past week! I really haven't had a chance(in the almost 4 years since I've been with my husband) to bond with him very much b/c he's always working when we're in NY..now with his retirement here we were able to hang out and do some sightseeing and just talk.. it was really nice!
The bad stuff started Saturday morning when we received a phone call that Erik's great Aunt Rita had passed away... totally not expected and more than anything I was expecting it to be a call about my grandfather!! I didn't get the call that my grandfather had passed away until yesterday...we were expecting that but it didn't make it any easier...then today that final straw..my brother went into the hospital last night with breathing problems related to his heart. He hasn't been super healthy in the last few years but it looks like his problems are going to kill him eventually.... hopefully later than sooner! SO all in all not a great week...
I must say that in all of this Erik has been my rock and I don't know what I'd do without him... I am so lucky that I have a partner that understands my hormone swings, the sadness in my life right now, and my stress in raising a toddler... things have got to get better right??
So to all a great week and I will write again when I get the chance..also to all my friends that are moms or moms to be - have a great Mother's Day!! Ciao
