Layers

Double Dutch Chocolate Ice Cream, topped with Chocolate Ganache, with Chocolate Shavings and Coco Powder on Top...

That is what my week feels like. Only instead of Chocolate... we are talking about stress and drama. The deployment is still happening in about two weeks. Instead of going on a mini vacation to Colorado... we are heading to Florida, because my Dad is in the hospital, he was visiting friends and ended up having a heart attack last week. While my brothers and sister and I scramble to get there from the four corners of the country, he also had a stroke.

Other fun factors include adjusting to life with an 18 yr old niece living with us and the odd language barrier, makes me feel really old... the real estate issues in Alabama and Tennessee, with the cost of paint and busted pipes... canceled vacations, abandoning my dogs, oil changes, sand storms, falling on a cactus, last ditch efforts with baby making....... blah, blah, yada, yada.

Like the worst gooey pile of layered stress imaginable, I feel like washing it all down the sink with hot water. Really hot water.
