Well, it's just been one of those weeks. I'm not one of those girls that cries very often, it takes a lot for me to cry. But, if you add stress and pregnancy harmones together that = crying. The week started off with a broken car. For those of you that have known me forever, know that I have driven the same car for 10 years and just can't give it up. I love my Mazda, it's been through a lot with me. But, after 10 years (okay, well 13 because I bought it used), it finally has some problems that can't be pushed aside. Well, after being told by the first place we took it that the problem was too big for them to handle, I got frustrated, and we took it to another place. We got the quote on how much it was going to be to fix it, and my eyes got a little bigger! Well, 2 days later, my washer drain slipped out of the drain hole, and....yep, water in my laundry closet....on the carpet....everywhere. On top of a few other odds and ends of the week, by the time Friday hit.....I was holding back the tears! Isabella and I went to Wendy's Friday afternoon with my cute friend Michelle and her little girls, and got ice cream. Michelle was soooo sweet to offer to take Isabella for the night so Chris and I could go "out". "Out" was exactly what I needed. After being stranded in a house, with no car for an entire week, with wet carpet and lots and lots of frustration, I needed an "out' night. So, thanks Michelle for being a wonderful friend. You don't know how much I REALLY REALLY needed a night with my hubby out of the house. So, our Valentines was celebrated a day early this year, we went to Coppermill for dinner and enjoyed just talking and being alone. I didn't realize how much I needed time alone until we dropped of Isabella and started driving to dinner. When we got home, Chris told me to relax and he whipped out a new Chic flick he had bought for me and we enjoyed a nice quiet evening on the couch. Honestly, I don't think I could have asked for a more relaxing sweet night with husband. I hope you all had a wonderful Happy Valentines!!!
My lesson in Young Women's today was coincidentally about "Finding Joy and Happiness in ourselves.....we are in control of our own Happiness." So here I sit on my computer....hoping to focus on the positive, and start a new week with a smile, and anticipation that it runs a lot smoother than last!!!

Our lesson in sacrament meeting was on finding happiness. It is a good reminder because I know I focus on the bad way to much.

Oh Melissa- what a rough week! I am so sorry about all the problems! That was nice of Michelle to take Isabella- it is amazing what an out can do to rejuvenate yourself! I hope you have a much better week this week!
Wow, sorry about your week. That is rough. I cried all the time when I was pregnant. Hot showers or long bubble baths do wonders for me. The tears just get washed away. Maybe one day we'll live close and we can trade babysitting!;) Wouldn't that be fair!!!

Sometimes a night out is all you need! I'm sorry your week was so rough and hope this week is better. Much better!
So sorry about the rough week. Thank goodness for good friends huh. I hope this week is better for you. I'm glad you and Chris got to go out. Seriously, a date night with the hubby can make all the difference sometimes.
ps. Chris has some mad cake skills!
wow.. I so understand that feeling. You just gotta hate those weeks! I too cry when I get over tired and over frustrated and overwhelmed!
Glad you guys got to get away for a bit. what a good friend you have!
Hope this week goes better for you hon.
( darn cars! I feel your pain!)
Congrats on the baby girl! Sorry I'm a little slow...I hate those weeks. I'm so glad our husbands are there to make it go a little smoother. Good luck on your lesson. Sounds like a subject we could all learn from!
Wow, I think one of the most amazing things you blogged about this time is the fact your husband BOUGHT a chic flick. I think Bill has seen maybe 2 with me the whole time we've known each other! What a blessing to have that in your husband! :)
Also, he is very talented at cake baking. WOW!
I am so sorry to hear you've had such a rough week, pregnancy tends to make things seem worse too!
Ignore the retarded comments you get... You are beautiful, pregnant or not pregnant. I swear, some people just don't have any tact!
Sheesh! Why does everything always happen at the same time. I'm so glad you were able to get a little R&R. I feel like I need that more often these days. I feel the same way about finding joy in what I've got. I've been trying to make a concious effort to be a more satisfied person. Satisfied with who I am, what I have, and what I've been able to do. Otherwise I become too hard on myself and am just plain unhappy all the time. Did you get your washer fixed? I've been known to be a pretty good mechanic. O.k., maybe we just got lucky with ours. :)
Hey, Congrats on the pregnancy!!!! Davey did tell me a while ago, but our life had did a 360 in the last couple of months and haven't had a chance to post a comment. Any way we miss you guys, we'll have to get together sometime.
It is really hard when you don't have a car and you feel stranded at home huh!? That totally adds to an already hard week! About month or so ago....my cell phone quit working, me and Wyatt were sick, the washing machine broke, and we only had one car so I too was stranded at home. I seriously was like "what have i done to derserve all this!!" Hang in there- it always gets better after those bad weeks!
