My husband spent the whole weekend in the ER, not for himself, but because of Caroline, and then one of our dogs. On Saturday Caroline developed another UTI so it was back to the ER for more cultures and antibiotics. Then last night one of our dogs decided to try my dark chocolate cookie dough batter that was left within reach of his nose on the countertop in the kitchen. He consumed more than half of the dough, and seemed OK, but then this morning he was vomiting continuously and became quite ill. So then my husband spent the afternoon at the vet ER hoping that our dog would pull through. He did, but he will be there overnight, to the tune of $600. Fortunately, we have pet health insurance, so we will only end up paying $100 once we get reimbursed. Yuck. So Christmas in only a few days away, I am done with shopping, and I still need to finish decorating the tree. I am not as excited about the whole Christmas commotion this year, dragging my feet a in the decorating department. I think Bill and I are very worn out. He has been super grumpy lately, very quick tempered. And then in turn I am grumpy because usually he is the positive one. I know the stress of joblessness is getting to him and being home all day with the kids doesn't help. Blah, blah, blah. Whatever.
I hope you are having better days. We all need to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" and then get over ourselves.

It always seems that those strokes of bad luck always come one on top of another. Glad Caroline and the dog are OK.
I know what you mean about the whole joblessness and lack of the holiday spirit. We are also dragging. I'm trying desperately to put it all aside just for a couple of days and enjoy, but sometimes it's easier said than done.
And then today I had a fender bender with a light pole in a parking lot in our new van. Now we are just laughing because what more could go wrong!
I am sorry that you are going through the joblessness thing too. My husband is so down. I am having to encourage him daily too. I can't think beyond two weeks at a time now. Can we pay the bills due in the next two weeks? That's as far as we can see right now. Thank you for checking in!
