It hurts

Growing up I was at your house daily. Never had to knock, never had to ask for a drink. I had my own cup with my name on it...after all you not only had 7 of your own kids you also had "extras". You gave us the birds and bee's talk, gave us the "Aunt Flo" talk along with countless other talks. I appreciate it more than you know. You raised a great family and they all turned out wonderful. I didn't turn out to bad myself...and I thank you for a lot of that. I will forever love you "Mom".

I miss you so much already.

What a week

Last week was a total blur...My best friends mom passed away, she was like a 2nd mom to me. I grew up pretty much at their house and was one of their kids. So I spent a lot of time over there, at visitation and funeral and hanging out at the house again on Friday...I'll sure miss her.

Brittany ended up in the hospital twice last week also with a horrible Kidney infection. She's finally on the mend.

I finally came to work last Friday just in time for the weekend.

Sure has been crazy!

They are the Best!!

Can I just tell you how great my friends are? They are the best and if I leave anyone off the list I apologize. My “peeps” have really picked me up, listened to me and did not judge at all.

Becky, you always know the right thing to say. With 5 kids, running here and there and all your own stuff you take the time to check in on me. You’re the best.

Missy, the day after you drive all the way from N.D. you find your way to my home just to be there. I got to talk to you more and see you more this time than I have in the last 2 times you’ve been home. One of these days I’m coming to visit you.

Shay, you were there, no questions asked, and brought breakfast goodies…although my stomach couldn’t handle food that was very thoughtful.

Monica, your belief in god and positive attitude lift me up more than you know.

Dawn, I woke you up at 3:30...and you were there before I could hang up the phone. I love you and Daymon…you are my saving grace.

Gina, we’ve been each others sounding board for a couple weeks now. A friendship from long ago that has reconnected. I am very glad to have you back in my life.

Ang, there is not a day that goes by that you don’t call and ask “how are you today?”..checking in on me. Thanks for letting me hang out at your house. You & Bob mean so much to me. You know how to be objective yet firm and I am grateful.

I’d give my left arm for them….ok, and for all you others too but this week given everything I owe them big.

Thanks

Thanks for all of your kind words, thoughts and prayers...it's going to be a long few months and I pray with all my heart we come out on top. I'm still not ready to discuss out here yet but if you want to send me your email address I can fill in a bit more.

Love to all.

I need you

Lord I need you now more than ever. Please help us through this difficult time. Help him to help himself and know that I love him more than anything in this world. Please guide us, help us and support us.

For those of you reading this...please pray..pray like you never have before...I can't really go into details at the moment just know I need you...our family needs you.

OCD-or whatever you want to call this blog?!?

Kiss my days and weekends goodbye until November. Football starts on Monday! This is my favorite time of year. I’m such an organization geek. I love to organize the teams, paperwork, concessions, coaches….just be involved. I may complain about it sometimes but when someone tries to help me out or when people make me delegate tasks it drives me crazy! I think I’m a bit OCD about controlling stuff like this.

Ok…who am I kidding I’m OCD about controlling everything. Dan tells me all the time “Just let it go, it’s not your problem”…(like some of the paperwork was not being done on time) and I was freaking out about it or heaven forbid I can’t have control over something that is beyond my control…like weather, other people being late, sickness, etc and because I have to be in control of everything, I’m usually early for everything so I can be the first to touch it, feel it, do it,….he also tells me I have to leave 10 minutes early to be 20 minutes early for an event.

This is a good thing and a bad thing…good because I am very organized, have control, get things done early…bad because I tend to have a “heart attack” about things that are not going smoothly.

Ok..that’s my ramble for the day.

(I just read this back and wow, am I jabbering or what?)
