What a month!

Holy smokes so much has been going on the last couple of weeks! After Haylees big movie party she got sick. Awful chest cold that hit hard and fast. Then Maycie got it. Same thing, hard and fast. Then I got it. Tight chest, cough and fever.  In the middle of that I had to make a really hard decision. Probably the hardest one I've made. I decided to put in my two weeks notice at work. I love my job but I need to take care of things at home. I've never left a job I loved! It was such a difficult thing. I spent so much time going over it in my mind because I love my job but I know I'm needed more at home. So all that stress was adding up and Tuesday when I was climbing in bed I stepped in a puddle of water. I was so tired I just got mad at the girls for having water in my bedroom and sent them to bed. Then Wednesday when I got home from work that puddle was even bigger... and it had spread to our closet. I guess the girls didn't spill a drink! It turns out the pipe going to the outdoor faucet runs between our bedroom wall and the unit next door... and it burst. We had maintenence people here late into the night. The girls loved all the craziness! Then this morning when I woke I was in EXCRUCIATING pain in my ear. I was dizzy and nauseated. I was actually screaming and crying. I don't know if the pain woke me up or if it just hit when I sat up but it was AWFUL! I couldn't hear anything from that side. I've had lots of issues with my ears, I thought I had felt it all... apparently not. So remember how I live in the middle of nowhere, well we don't have insta-care. So after going to the ER I've learned I have an ear infection and a burst eardrum!! Worst.Pain.Ever! My ear didn't even hurt when i went to bed! I don't know how it happened so fast but I hope its a sign that our crazy month is coming to an end. I'd really appreciate some quietness!
