keeping score

Yossi has been back home for 1.5 weeks.
I am definitely keeping score of all the crazy things that happened since he returned:
-our camera cable (for the computer) is lost
-our gps died
-our electric toothbrush died. 
-our car needs a new engine (its only been 5 years) and the dealer is making excuses as to why it should not be covered under warrantee as well as excuses regarding rental car reimbursement 
-ive just about finished catching up at work and im utterly exausted juggling work, the house, and being attentive to my family.      
- our city handicapped parking permit is lost.
- i got  a ticket for double parking in absence of the lost permit    

                                                                                                                                              
 I'm also keeping track of all the wonderful things that happened since we brought yossi back:              - Yossi is healthy and strong.                            
- Yossi is home. And he is over the moon about it.                                                                
-Yossi feels good.                                                
 -Yossi is happy and laughing.                        
 -Yossi babbling and talking.                            
-Yossi has lots of stamina and energy, he can easily practice lots of crawling and make strides towards independent walking-
 -Yossi  is finally eating and drinking for the first time in months ( im thinking growth spurt after losing 4lbs from vomiting so much in the hospital. I don't actually mind the weight loss so much because as yossi gets bigger,its now getting harder to lift him)                                                               -we also have amazing friends who have been our anchor and encouragement who have been checking on us even after we came home.    

                                                                                                                                    
  It would be lovely if  everything was smooth sailing  all of the time but that is simply not realistic . so when the going gets tough, and overwhelming, and i just cant seem to get back on track, i remind myself that Yossi is healthy and i count my many blessings: all the stresses of daily living.
