A Contest...

I seriously need to win this... and hopefully, along with it, will come time to actually read the books & listen to the CD I could win. ;) They are from Sarah Hinze, and are about babies coming from Heaven... If you've read my blog at all lately, you know that I really could use some good literature to help me through this really rough time I'm having with the loss of our baby in December. So, here is the CONTEST LINK .... Anne, PICK ME! ;)

I'm doin' alright today... but it's been a particularly hard week. So many of the people I know are going through such hard things right now. My friend Kari's boy is in the hospital with serious liver problems, my friend MarLee had emergency gall bladder surgery, my friend Misty fell & broke her wrist last week. Friends Brandon & Laura and their family are having major trials... the list goes on and on and on! We have had major issues around her with everything from the water heater to bedbugs (yes, we STILL are fighting them!) to bills, to uncertainty about Aaron's job, to who knows what else. My dad & brother are visiting, (exactly how long does a visit last, you ask... Um... I'll let you know)... it's just one thing after another after another after another... the kids are all going insane -- it must be springtime? -- and I really hardly ever have even a minute to think. Much less, to sit and write. But I did start a new journal this week, specifically about my miscarriage and the feelings I have regarding that... and I actually have slept TWO NIGHTS without taking melatonin.

Now, I would love to sit and elaborate some more, but I have ripped the girls' room apart and need to dispose of some mattresses and get a load of bedding started in the wash... I spent $32 on a professional sprayer today to spray for the bedbugs again (Cedarcide is the BOMB! == seems to be working, you just have to find them all) .... and I am in attack mode. So, thanks for stoppin' by...
