time flies when you're riding the crazy train

things here have been normal, except the exact opposite of that!

we've been riding the crazy train for the past couple of weeks, trying to stay grounded. there have been lots of storms, lots of no-school-days, lots of trips to the doctors and the hospital for a mysterious illness that joey was/is struggling with, lots of blood tests and waiting around for doctors (still no answers), lots of insanity when we fostered a dog for a couple of days and then had to bring her back because she wasn't a huge fan of lulu and john and i didn't feel safe, lots of family dinners, lots of playing wii, lots of quilts, lots of tea, lots of love.

i have learned some valuable lessons this week. about love, about sickness, about quality time, and intention. about making hard choices to protect your family. about how much i love my life exactly how it is. about how even though we ride the crazy train daily, it's also a pretty peaceful train ride that i don't want out of.
