The last few weeks have been epic.. to say the least.. action packed, as my title indicates. There are so many words. It feels like all of the above have happened in our life.
We have had a snow storm, with temperatures only known to be found in the arctic. Who would ever go “FIND” these frigid temperatures for fun, is beyond me. But, we had them. Our houses were not made for them. My pipes were evidence of that. Upstairs pipe was not insulated, therefore it froze, burst, causing major leakage all over the girls room downstairs. We are now staying with my dad until we can get repairs made. This could be a week or two. Fun times.
Then, on top of that, my house where my brother lives, has a leaking pipe, from what we believe. We turned the water off, and have an insurance agent coming out to assess soon. There are many stories similar to this, in our area of NW AR. It’s massive disaster for many. We are lucky, in that we are alive, we never lost heat, we had plenty of food to live on, and we have each other. We also had the gift of isolation or quarantine happening at the same time. I had COVID-19 during all of this. I am feeling fine though, thankfully. We are ready for whatever comes our way, but it is being recorded in my blog, as a very memorable event in our lives. I cannot just simply skip this entry because I want memories of our good times, hard times, bad times, and extremely awesome times to be in this for us to look back on, and REMEMBER.
There are many other struggles in the kids lives, but we are working through those, as they come. Allie has medication adjustments to help with her anxiety and depression. She is doing virtual school, but unable to physically finish assignments fully each week. This has been ongoing since October. We are not giving up. She is bright, strong, and capable. We just need to get her to feeling better. This is my number one focus through all of this.
We are stronger together, and we always have to strive forward, ready for the next obstacle, but that’s how life is.
It’s just how we handle it, that is key.
We love life. We love adventure. That’s what this is…
All in a Day
