highest highs & lowest lows

this week has been....something else. to say it's been a roller coaster ride just doesn't quite cover it. it's like the week that never ends.
it started with my mom's {major} surgery on tuesday morning, which went well. yay! 
high!
but then she had complications, and was back in the hospital for 20 hours. my dad sounded a step away from distraught, and with no family nearby him to be supportive and a mom in a "precarious" situation, my siblings and i were all freaking out. a lot.  
low.

but then she went home and things have been all clear ever since. 
high!

wednesday husband had his final all-day interview with teach for america. 
high!

but the interview was in lawrence {a couple hours away} and the night before our car broke down. disaster.  
low.

but then a dear friend came through with a car to borrow. she's amazing.  
high!

{and oh yeah, he nailed the interview}
double high!

so now it's the end of a long long week and everything has ended on a good note, but i'm still reeling from, well, everything. 
i'm looking forward to a calm weekend. 
a weekend of recovery. {especially for my mom}

  4. Oh goodness, that sounds like a completely crazy week. Hope your mum has a speedy recovery, and hope your dad's ok too. He sounds like he's been very stressed.

    Hope next week will be less crazy for you!
