A girlfriends father passed away this week. Suddenly 65 seems so very young….
My daughter did not make the team she spent all year working for. Her heart is breaking, and mine is right along with it.
I have to go for an MRI…I’m sure not sure scared out of my freaking mind everything will be okay, and somehow this makes me cry.
A dentist appointment this week where I get to choose if I want to have freezing or not? Huh? Okay, this doesn’t make me cry but kind of scares the crap out of me. Shouldn’t the Dentist, you know, the expert make this decision?
Last night I was touched when super sweet Taylor Matthew’s Dad swelled with pride as his son performed on American Idol (*thank you PVR). The pride in his eyes as his son sang his heart out….more tears.
This poor bird flailing in the oil as captured by The Canadian Press. More tears. How can BP ever make this right?
Prayers for the departed and the sick, hope for the lonely, cheers for the sweetness….pass the kleenex.
So, enough with the tears.
Had to get it off my chest.
Next post, I’ll bring back the joy.

i have a knot in my chest too by reading this post. 🙁 hope you feel better soon – losing someone/something is never a good thing but we try to get by with our beloved ones. {{hugs}}

With all the bad in the world, I try to think about all the good and how things could always be a lot worse. Good luck with your MRI. Sometimes we all need to just cry, so I say let it out and like you said bring the joy tomorrow!
Take care!

The Gulf situation breaks my heart. All of it. Loss of life/wildlife, loss of jobs, loss of income. It’s all so sad (Seriously, I can’t look at those birds slowly dying in the oil. I scream at the t.v. every time.).
The video of Taylor Matthew in America’s got talent perked me up, though. The pride his father felt watching his kid brought tears to my eyes. How incredible.
Sorry for your daughter. That’s tough. Even the best have been cut from teams – Michael Jordan and Erik Johnson, to name a few. I know your daughter will make that team one day and you will be able to look back on this (when she’s better than everyone else) as a “growing experience.” Sucks now. Really, really sucks. The politics of the ‘burbs!! 🙁
Hope your MRI goes well. Let us know.
Finally, I gave my hubby that swat this morning. I couldn’t the past two because he left for work so early. I certainly shocked the hell out of him. He immediately turned around with this sh$$ ass grin on his face. I think he liked it! LOL! 🙂 Thanks so much for the idea!
Chin up, my friend! Wishing you brighter days ahead.

I’m so sorry you are going through all of this. I’ve spent a few days crying myself! I will send up prayers for you to find some peace amidst this crazy ride we call life. Until then, take care of yourself and give yourself and your family some extra love.

man oh man…this is a BAD DAY if I ever heard one!
RoseBelle says
Hope all will brighten up for you. When bad things come, they keep coming. Sorry to hear about your friend’s dad. 65 years old is young but you know, it’s the number of years that you lived but how you lived during those years. As for your dental dilemma, what is freezing by the btw?
Gigi says
Oh bless you!! No deserves to have a week like that! Many thoughts & prayers regarding the MRI. Google the whole “freezing” thing check out the whole thing so you can make an informed decision. Go grab a bottle of wine and relax. It will all be fine. I feel sure!

Try to think positive about the MRI. Sorry about your losses…I hate it when our kids have to learn heartbreak early on.
Go for the freezing with the dentist. (is that the same as numbing?)
hugs, Suz
