This week was epic. Everything was down, then up, and then down again. I’m emotionally spent, and I’m physically exhausted.<\/p>\n

Monday morning Micky woke up screaming in pain. We had to call an ambulance, and she headed off to the ER. Unfortunately, Amelia had woken up, and so she saw it all. She understood that her mom was in pain, and that she had to go see the doctor. I got her back to sleep thanks to the big bean bag, and the Bay Bridge light show, but that was total chaos.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the whole company was in town to do homecoming. It was going to be a long week anyway, and Monday morning started it off with a bang!<\/p>\n

Tuesday was really good because Aydin came into town for his annual pilgrimage<\/a>. We changed plans because of Micky’s back pain, but otherwise we were off and running.<\/p>\n

Wednesday I had a good work day; but a weird personal day. In chauffeuring Micky, Aydin dinged the car. Everyone freaked out. When I came home, I saw the damage, and it really wasn’t that big of a deal. It sucks. It’s a nice, new car. But at the end of the day, no one was hurt. And it really doesn’t matter. It’s just a car. But a weird day nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Thursday, Aydin headed out to visit the Pacific. I finally felt like it was a normal day. Micky’s dad came into town, and the kid’s went to the airport to pick him up. It seemed as if we’d turned a corner… but alas.<\/p>\n

When I got home, Amelia got sick. Micky ran in, and picked her up, throwing out her back… again. Back to the ER. A long night.<\/p>\n

The next day, we couldn’t send the kids to school (fevers), couldn’t leave Micky by herself (bad back), and also had Mike to consider. It was a hard day with a lot of angry words. Finally though, the drugs kicked in (everyone’s), and somehow we saved the day. The big news… we closed<\/a> on the house!<\/p>\n

So the weekend has allowed us to recover. Tomorrow is a day off, and I think that will help as well. I’ve definitely hit a wall (and I’m 100% sure I’m getting sick), but the roller coaster has stopped.<\/p>\n

I’ll finish with my new favorite Dr. Seuss line from “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish”:<\/p>\n

Today is gone. Today was fun.
\nTomorrow is another one.
\nEvery day,
\nfrom here to there,
\nfunny things are everywhere.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
