Maybe the Mayans had it right?

2012 has NOT been a great year, thus far. Seriously.

Last week I spent 2.5 days in the hospital for a kidney infection. Seriously, where'd that come from? They suspect that I passed a stone. I believe it, the pain was awful! It felt just as bad as Transition, for longer. NEVER want that to happen again. The ER did a CAT scan and then issued a cordial invitation to stay upstairs in a comfy private room. I was just happy to be getting the pain meds. Thankfully, everything was under control by Friday afternoon and they let me come home. I certainly missed my hubby and kids.

Monday morning started out in a most depressing way. Our dog, Riley, passed away. He was almost 10 years old but was fine the day before. We're not sure why he passed away. We came out to him not able to move. As I was making plans for Son and I to take him to the vet, he took his last breath. It was heartbreaking, especially since it hasn't even been two years since we lost Pluto to cancer.

Add that to the tragedies that family and friends have suffered since the beginning of the year and I'm stressed out. Beginning to wonder if those Mayans had it right ending the calendar in December this year. ;)  Just kidding, sort of. LOL

Hopefully, tomorrow will be a good day, however. We have lots of giggling girls coming to visit from our homeschool support group. We'll stamp things and chatter and snack and play. FUN! :)
