MIA

Sorry to be MIA for so long, but life has been complete chaos.

The kids and I went on a road trip to visit my husband’s family, which included a short visit to Disney and we came home with a bearded dragon for my daughter! When I got back I’d intended to post a vacation recap (even have a draft started and image created).

But I found out that a blogger I’d connected with here on WP lost her battle with depression and it hit me harder than I would have expected.

Then my ICD announced that it is ready to have the batteries replaced.

But my husband and I already had plans to go to Alabama for World’s Toughest Mudder.

Which means my ICD surgery will be the day before Thanksgiving (11/23) and the plan to visit my family had to be canceled.

And I’ve got wrist surgery to remove the hardware scheduled for the following Monday (11/28), which requires a CT scan that I’m having a hell of a time getting scheduled because of insurance being a pain.

With all that’s going in, I haven’t written anything in forever. My brain just can’t seem to get the words to flow. Even this post feels disjointed. Like just a list of the facts. There are all kinds of emotions swimming through me right now, but there are so many of them I can’t seem to grasp how to put them into words. I just found out that one of the Besties lost her son and got a tough medical diagnosis this week and I’m feeling like life is SO unfair right now.

Hopefully I’ll be able to get back to writing soon. But it may not be until sometime in December, since I’ll be recovering from two back to back surgeries. I just wanted to let anyone that actually reads this blog know that I’m still here, just dealing with the chaos of life.
