Usually I try really hard to be positive, but this week has gotten Jeff and I down a bit so I'm using the post this week to selfishly vent. So - these are things that have unusually gone wrong this week: the lawn mower broke, Jeff's tires went out (yes - all four had to be replaced), I got in a car accident during Tropical Storm Faye (but I'm ok and the car is ok too and have to do traffic school like a criminal), one of my dear girlfriends lost her dear baby at 3 months in her pregnancy, the saxophonist, Leroi, from DMB died (such a loss), I fell in mud at the construction site and had to hose myself off and wear squishy wet pants all day, and Dad Ahrens had to go back to the hospital last night (although hooray for Mom for performing CPR! She's a hero! We're just sad it came to that after he got out of the hospital last week). It's so strange all this happened just over a few days' time, so I am begging for positive comments from this post from anyone that may read this in order to offset my negative thoughts. I'd much rather focus on all the good things and blessings in all your lives than getting bogged down in this stormy week in South Florida.
Oh - and I apologize for not posting a belly photo yet - I've had many requests. To be honest - I've been too self-concious to do it, but I'll get over it soon, I promise.
The Stick That Was...
Update on the front yard garden - so - we planted this Royal Poincienta tree in our front yard back in February and it was literally a stick with no leaves. After finally getting some rain and lovin' (yes - we talk to our plants) - it has made it! We are so excited about this tree b/c one day it will bloom fire orange and be beautiful shade in our yard.
