Have you ever had a day, a week, (or some of you a year-Yes, I read your blog) when you feel like you couldn’t take anymore shitty news? Well I have definitley had one of those weeks.
Warning: Yes, I know that my life really doesn’t suck, so for those of you who have it worse, do not even bother to read. I am not asking for a pitty party. I just felt like I needed a place to vent.
It started off with coming down with a virus on Tuesday night, complete with achy joints, mild temperatures and just feeling like crap. I took off work on Wednesday and spent the day sleeping and trying to feel better. When I picked up Grayson at daycare that afternoon, I was feelig a bit better….but Grayson on the other hand was not. He was running a low grade fever and had green mucous flying from his nose. Yuck! He did go to bed ok, so I couldn’t complain.
On Thursday, my area of NC got a little snow. I was so excited when I woke up thinking that I would not have to go to work. But his little pick me up quickly vanished when I realized that my school’s name was not going to run across the screen as one of the schools that was closed. AHHHH! Every other school in my county was closed but not us….AND we have built in snow days! The gall of my headmaster (Note to those who care: I absolutely love working for my headmaster…so please do not take that statement seriously…but hey a snow day would have been nice!)! Since Grayson was no longer running a temperature and I felt better, we both went off to school. Tim got the call at noon to pick Grayson up. He had begun to run a temp of 101.6 and now had snot coming out his nose, ears (remember he has tubes?) and eye. Tim was an angel and took off the afternoon to be with him. My crappy day at work was complete with a very LONG parent meeting ( a necessary one, but a long one none-the-less) and when I got home I relieved Tim of his snot duties and took over with Grayson.
Then at 8:00 last night I got the call letting my know that someone very dear to me was in a car accident (she’s ok mind you) but of all people to be in an accident, she was the last person who needed or deserved one. This person who shall remain namless has had a really difficulty year and is finaly getting this straightened out only to have life crap on hear AGAIN. I sat and cried and asked God what I could do to make things better for this person. But no response. I guess that there isn’t much I can do, but be supportive and listen, and continue to ask how I can help….and pray.
Then I got the e-mail from a sorority sister about my friend Debbie. I have blogged about her before (around Thanksgiving). You can read her latest blog entry if you want, but in a nut shell, she has decided to quit her fight with cancer and hospice has been called. My heart breaks thinking about her and her family….
So, like I said, I know that I do not have the crappiest life out there and to be honest my life has been and contines to be great. And maybe I should be thankful that if I am going to get a lot of shitty new, at least it all came in one week instead of being spread over longer periods of time….
but now I am ready for a new week to begin…and hopefully one that is filled with happier things.
