Jul 2013

In the first two months, I went to 3 funerals. Then in March I ended up in the hospital and missed almost 2 months of work. My son also was in the hospital around the same time.

Things are finally looking up.... but I'm almost afraid to exhale. It's funny because at the beginning of 2013, I just had bad feeling about "the curse of 13." Only 5 months to go! Better luck to us all!!!

It isn't as bad as 2001 though. That really was the "year from hell" for us.
