Dear Universe

I think I have done an excellent job staying rather calm the past 6 weeks. Through the holidays, my mom getting extremely sick, night after night of no sleep due to everyone in this house coughing, watching those close to me struggle, being pregnant and still feeling gross and sick at times even though I am a whopping 24 weeks. I have tried to stay positive in the midst of strange craigslist experiences, the stress of deciding to buy a house and then staying calm and collected day in and day out after hearing nothing from the private mortgage insurance people regarding the fact that my employment began 5 months ago instead of 6. I took deep breaths while reading the termite and property inspections despite the amount of money and work "our" house might need.
I have somehow managed to be a good mother despite having a painful umbilical hernia that keeps me from exercising (something very important to me) as well as lifting heavy objects (for example kate)
I have tried my best to keep Adam fed, loved, and somewhat rested during perhaps the most stressful month of his life.
I have tried to stay patient and calm as Charlie continues to get a fever, cough, and ear infection every freaking time I stop his inhalers of steroids.
So universe as you can see I am doing my job to hold the fort down. Can you do yours?
All I want is this:
1. For us to figure out what is going on inside my wonderful boy's body that is making him have a fever every two weeks. To end the ear infections and cough he has been struggling with.
2. Help me my mom come off steroids and improve her breathing.
3. Give me some news regarding our loan. One way or another. Just let us know before we loose our deposit.
Things are looking so much better than they did a month ago, and I am grateful for that. Now go and get the job done!

Guess I'm part of the universe, and I heard your prayer! I'll add yours to mine, and hopefully we'll see speedy and good results to all your concerns. Adam doesn't tell me all these details, so I'm sorry to hear some of these things! Lots of deep breathing, faith and thinking good thoughts can help get you through these times. Glad you are enjoying this beautiful weather with the kiddos!!!
