Today, I feel as though the lows in my life are far outweighing the highs. I know that isn't the truth, but perhaps writing them out will help convince me.
Low: Marc got in an accident yesterday. We're waiting to hear if the Malibu is totaled or not. Either way, it's going to cost lots of money we wern't budgeting to spend on something like this.
Low: Marc's hours may get switched. It'll potentially make things much more chaotic for him with the potential of driving to and from work twice a day. It also may mean adjusting my home/office hours.
Low: Headaches. I think I'm becoming stressed. I'm also tired. Tired of constantly being on the go and when I'm not, feeling too tired to get anything productive done. I wish I could be more steady. I wish I were more of a morning person. I wish I was disciplined enough to follow a strickter schedule with my time.
High: Marc was okay, although a little sore, after his accident & so was the other driver. It was a blessing that he didn't have Isaac with him. Marc hates the Malibu, and if we have to buy another car, he may like it.
High: God really has provided. We are getting a good bit back in our taxes. Me, being the budgeter that I am, already have every cent designated toward different debt or our ER fund. We should get our taxes back tomorrow, in time to either buy a new car or pay for the Malibu to get fixed. I HATE that it will push back some more debt being paid off, but I thank God that this didn't happen the day after I paid things off & we had only a small ER fund to work with.
High: I had a fantastic weekend. I was able to see my cousin Julie, aunt & uncle, grandma, several college friends and one of my best friends and her family. Friday was a super busy day with tons of new places and people for Isaac. He was a champ and I rewarded him by letting him sleep in bed with me all night. He wanted nothing to do with the pak N play. We had a great time playing with Hannah & Dylan and loved spending time holding new baby Ella.
High: The Biggest Loser. It may sound dumb that this show has become a highlight of my week. It's WAY more than just the show though. It's the experience of having me, Kerri, Jane, Molly, Josiah and the occasional head pop in from Tim or Jung that really make it a highlight. I look forward each week to being able to relax with good friends while being inspired (and sometimes annoyed) with Bob & Jillian.
High: I am reminded that I have been blessed with good friends. Friends who text to say they're praying. Friends who watch Isaac at the last minute for me. Friends who drive me places when we're down to 1 car and who let me borrow clothes. I am grateful.
Let's see what the next week brings.

i agree that it's been a rough week, maybe even month, for the driesengas, but being 'broken', tired and unsure of the future isn't such a horrible place to be at... I think in my life it's God's way of calling me back into closer relationship with him.
as far as the highs... biggest loser night is definitely one of the best nights of the week. i especially liked the the scripture readings and discussions during commercial breaks this past week ;~)
oh and thanks for letting me borrow your (and kim's) clothes!
