end of the tunnel

So I thought today I would once again say how thankful I am for everything. Zach came home with news that one of his co-workers has lupis (sp) she has been having problems and been in and out of drs. for awhile and they finally found the problem- this lady has been through so much. ON top of that her husband has to have triple bypass ( I think triple) the week after christmas, her daughter has heart problems and her son is going through a divorse- WHEN IT RAINS IT REALLY DOES PORE. I just think its awful. Zach told me the daughter asked her mom"why did this happen to our family?" and Zach told the mom "its becuase you guys just keep going and have such a great attitude!" I personally dont know very many people that could be so positive during a time like this.
This once again just makes me so thankful for a happy and healthy family and happy and healthy friends, here I was complaining on my very first blog of how my child wouldnt go potty on the side of the road and look at what this gal has to deal with.
My problems and complaints are so minimal to this and Im glad they are.
Im hoping this family can stay positive and get through all of this, at least they have eachother, and Im sure glad this gal feels open enough to talk to Zach-maybe he is good at cheering people up and he gives her a little hope at the end of that tunnel-

When it rains.....it pores:)

So here I am visiting the great town of wenatchee- great friends good family and two children! A two year old and a 6 week old. Never have I traveled this far ( 2 1/2 hours) by myself with them and the trip there- fantastic!! Well on the way home I was stopped by a road crew blowing up rocks- 20 minute delay- okay, so we wait the twenty minutes. We pass the flagger and of course it has been 2 hours since I fed the newborn so its time to eat she screams- we make it to the rest stop and POW its closed, so we pull over! Then in the middle of feeding my two year old yells POTTY MOMMY, POTTY MOMMY- great- I say. So I give her the option to go outside- NO WAY so I say " lets put on your sisters diaper and just this one time you can go in a diaper" NO WAY aaaaaaaaaaaa- what do I do...well, there is a fruit stand up the road! So we hop in the car, get to the fruit stand and I plead my case- YES they say, you can use the toilet!!!
okay, I think we are good to go...but of course we get behind three truckers!!!
So long story short our 2 1/2 hour trip ends up taking us almost four and we make it home to a loving husband and father and a batch of peanut butter cookies from the neighbor!
I guess there is always a rainbow at the end of a rainstorm- HUH?
