I had hoped the new year would bring us the chance to get caught up financially. A little over a week ago when we had that big storm, Maurice got into an accident on his way home from work. The car was totalled and luckily he escaped with a broken foot. They took him to a hospital over an hour away and I didn't see him for four days. Meanwhile at home, the pipes had frozen so I was without water. After a few days of that my son brought me water from his place in the next town.A friend of his volunteered to go get Maurice and bring him home which was a Godsend as I had no way to get him. He's been here alone for the most part the last few days as I've been babysitting my grandsons at night. I have a week off now to catch up on the laundry and dishes that piled up. We finally got water the day before yesterday. My wonderful daughter-in-law took me grocery shopping yesterday so now we have food in the house. My sister says I'm just getting all the bad stuff for the year now so I can relax the rest of the year. lol I hope everyone else is having a better year so far. It HAS to get better, right?
