Sorry that so much *bad* and not much *good* happened in April. I had shingles too — and I was told it was due to all the stress in my life (I’m my mom’s caregiver). Hope things are better in your house now and continue to improve.

Holy crap batman. I think wonder woman might have lost it with all that going on. I think you deserve a vacation.
Well raise your red solo cup to a better time and less mishaps. Hope all is going and doing well today.

I had a similar month – different things – the flu, lice, etc., etc. I thought how could this get any worse. Then I found out my college roommate’s soon-to-be thirteen year old daughter was in an at-home accident and died. And that’s when my whole view shifted. I realized it could be worse. Your month still sounds like no fun and I’m also glad April is over.

Oh, Char, what an awful month for the three of you! Poor Macy has it really rough with shingles; I feel so sorry for her. My son came down with it on his first day of class at UF and had to take all his classes via computer until he could stand to put a shirt on. It took 3 weeks. I’m going to get the vaccine to prevent it, because I refuse to be subjected to the possibility of that horrible condition.

And poor little Keller. I hope he heals fast! I’m glad that SNAP brought you some fun for the month. You’ve had your April showers of tears, so hopefully May will bring flowers of joy.

Didn’t mean to… but I had to laugh while reading this. I thought I was the only mom with a little black rain cloud over my head sometimes! But there are only two of us.

Sorry your April was so horrible. The good news is that it’s over!

Well sh*t! I’m glad April’s over, I’m glad you got to experience SPARK, and I hope everyone’s feeling better soon (if they aren’t already)!

What a whirlwind of a month! The barrage of highs and lows and chaos and stress can knock us to our knees sometimes. Looks like God perfectly placed SNAP in your life – it was the bright spot that you needed to see – proof that there is light, and joy, at the end of the tunnel. Glad you are choosing joy (don’t we all just love Ashley?) and laughter – it truly is the best medicine for my soul.

At any given point on any given day, even one of those things could of sent me over the edge! A little crying was certainly in order.

LOL. I had a December, January and February like that last year. It’s amazing what we can live through.

I liked that you were delirious enough to let me hug you multiple times! The next time I come to Utah it is just to hang out with you and sleep in Macy’s bed.

Shit happens. Usually in really, really big piles. Here’s hoping May is a kinder, gentler month around your house!

Oh Char, I had no idea your month was so horrible. I’m also glad it’s over for you, and hope May brings better things. I can only imagine the sheer quantities of Diet Coke you had to drink to get through all of that. I hope you’ve treated yourself to some alone time with a treat and an extra large, extra cold Diet Coke.

Good riddance April. Mine was not fab either but you for sure win the Suckiest Month of 2012 (thus far) award.
BUT one bright spot was FINALLY freaking meeting you. I knew I should’ve tried to hug you during your state of delirium.
So that I have it in print for the world to see- I call a do over. And I’m holding you to it. Hugs included.

You know how much I love you…..right? And how much I adore your children? And how….as the receipient of that hug….well….I’m kinda glad April made you delirious in a small way. But I think we’re BOTH glad it’s over. And now we can fly to Melmac for some well deserved rest.

Wow I thought things were crazy around here! Not even close to your April! I am glad you survived.
