ENOUGH
Do you ever have those times when you just feel terrible? That's me right now. I have been sick with the flu and I really thinks its just plan sent me over the edge! I am so sick of being sick (I seem to catch EVERYTHING that is even considering going around), I hate my job, Mai is for sale most days right now, I am eating like crap, haven't been working on my spirituality, etc.... Needless to say, I am really struggling right now. I don't know why I am, but the fact is, I am. And than today I was on the computer, avoiding starting my day, and I started reading a popular blog I like to read. It's called nieniedialogues.blogspot.com. It is a blog by a girl who is the mother of four, married, and is very entertaining. She started blogging to stay in touch with her family and now has one of the most popular blogs. She has a VERY positive outlook on life and I really enjoy reading about her life. Well, about ten months ago, her and her husband were in a near fatal plane crash. Over 80% of her body was burnt, but her and her husband survived. She is now home, but quite obviously, is dealing with a lot of change and pain. She was updating us on her latest appointment to see her burn doctor and said her doctor told her "and this too shall pass." and she wanted to slap her doctor for saying such a thing. But than she continues to say that she must have needed to hear that because she keep thinking about it all day. WOW. I don't know why that has hit me so hard today, but I can't seem to get it out of my head. I feel like I was truly inspired to read that this morning. If she can have that attitude, than I can have that attitude. I kept telling myself I needed to figure out why I have been having such a hard time lately but than I realized, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter WHY I am struggling, it only matters that I try to better myself everyday. (something I have most definitely not been doing.) I don't always need an answer, sometimes I just need to get out of bed. I should already know all this, but it has just really hit me hard again. The Lord has such a good way of patiently reminding us what we should be doing. Kinda embarrassing for me to admit all of this, but I really wanted to share it. What a great example she is! What a wonderful, loving Father in Heaven we have!

Ice Cream Man
So I had Clif and Chayo's kids last night and the ice cream man came by. They all were able to get a treat, even Sam, and sat outside and ate them. It was really cute. I actually got one for Sam thinking we could share...yeah right. I tried to take a bite and he growlled at me!! Too cute. He ate the whole popsicle by himself!

SPI INDOOR COED SOCCER TEAM
Our Soccer team!! Yeah, we're good. Well, the boys are and some of the girls aren't bad. Clif convinced us all to join the SPI (Swain Plating Inc.) coed indoor team this season and surprisingly enough, we all LOVE IT!! It is SO much fun to play with all my siblings. Our team consists of me, Rose, Clif, Melissa, Sarah, Jon, Jeremy(Clif's friend since high school, who got kicked out-hehehe-by the indoor arena for the last few games), Jeremy's sister Tanya, and Tanya husband Jeff. It really is the most fun we've had in a long time.
Me, Sarah, and Rose taking a breather
