the williams curse

can we talk for a minute about the curse that has been upon my family for the past 3 months? really.... its not funny. let me give you the rundown: 

december: 

-greta's terminal diagnosis followed by being undiagnosed

-jude breaks greta's arm

january:

-bob gets laid off

-dustin gets the man cold of the century that turns into pneumonia and nearly dies, literally. is in the ICU for a week.

febuary:

-brad's brother in-law gets pulled over which results in arrest and INS involvement. long story short, wesely in all likely hood will be deported back to brazil AND my parents put a lein on their house to get wesley out of jail because the bail is so ridiculously high. 

-gilbert falls from a 2 story window onto concrete, is life flighted to primary childrens. miraculously is release from the hospital a week later with no real damage or problems.

-gwyn falls and cracks her chin open.

its now march and its time for the curse to leave. four out of the six kids in my family have had some major crisis in the past 3 months and frankly, i am not okay with it. somehow bryce and paige have steered cleared of a disaster, maybe its because they live out of state. whatever the reason, we are all done. my poor mother has been intimately involved with every case and i think she herself is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. freak, i know i am.  

so here i am formally uninviting this curse. 

leave. go away. don't come back. we hate you. AND you stink.

however, i am grateful for all of the blessing in our lives.  we are so lucky that things haven't been worse and that we all still have our loved ones with us, no matter what condition they are in. i never want to seem ungrateful, i think i am just a little unimpressed by this whole curse that's affected all of us.
