Times of trial

Life around the holmes family has been pretty challenging. Our trip to Utah was a blast and since that day everything has gone down hill. We had our car break down on us in Vegas. We were stuck in the heat for about hour, mind you it was about 110 out. The water pump went out which then made the car overheat and it killed the engine. Our car is still in vegas. We ended up home from Utah about 5 hours later then planned to find our house had been overtaken by ants. They were everywhere. So I had to spend the next several days trying to kill all of the nests that they had created in our outlets. The kids have been up and down with sicknesses, and now Lexi is struggling with a mean bully at school. I tend to ask myself how much more can get thrown at me. I probably shouldn't be asking myself that. Anyway I know things could be worse and thats how I am getting through it, just to take it day by day.

You hang in there, sister. Life can get rough! That is why you write it down in your blog and your family can rally around you. Keep your chin up. We can't know true happiness without pain, and hopefully the pain doesn't last for very long!
