Posted: May 9, 2007 8:19 PM Post subject: One of Those Days |
|
|
Ok, it's been one of those days! It was fine until late afternoon.
Son and I went to town, where we picked out flowers for the flowerbed out front...his Mama's Day present to me. (Such a sweet son! )
Then hubby called...the load he had booked in NV turned from a legal size load to an oversize...which is a pain, but the kicker, they didn't want to buck up more revenue...which just isn't happening because we have to pay for permits out of the revenue. So, the load he has sat in NV for the last 2 days waiting on to load tomorrow...went south with no other load prospects. It's like the "load" desert out there. So, he's deadheading home from NV...oh what joy!
Daughter #1 called, informed me she was moving back home THIS weekend...thanks for the big notice there! So, now I have a room of just stuff that's stored in there that needs to be cleaned out, and to find another area to put it in.
And finally, son called....mom...don't freak, but I've been in an accident. UGH!!!! Luckily, he's ok, and it didn't involve anyone else...just a deep ditch.
And my sister just called...coffee on? she asks...well, that's a no brainer...well, yeah, just put on a fresh pot....so I need to dig out the ashtray for her.
Hmmmm....well, on the brighter side of things....the thought of smoking didn't occur, and I'm dealing with stuff without the crutch just fine, thank you very much!
Well, sissy just pulled in the drive...so I'll see you guys later.

Thanks for the hug Kevin!
Finally, able to just sitand have a nice good cup of coffee. Yeah, laundry is washing, but at least the clamour has calmed down, and I can just be for a little while. Time to collect and unwind.
I know a big part of dealing with stuff, is in my ability to just be still for a bit, and not on a constant edge of continued pounding and bombardment.
Yeah...I think it's called....calmness!! Works wonders!

Hey Deb,
It's great to see your positive attitude! Among all the, um...well, for lack of a better term... CRAP going on around you, you are still strong in your quit. It's admirable! Like my Mom says, "this, too, shall pass"...
Until then, I'll keep you in my thoughts! _________________

(((Deb))) Why is that *stuff* all seems to happen at once? I guess there is a reason for that old saying "When it rains it pours." Sorry to hear that you got poured upon yesterday. I hope today feels better, and has less suprises of the *not wonderful* kind. Mean time, YOU KEPT YOUR QUIT. That is such excellent news.
Here's to a calmer and smoother day today!

Thanks Beth! And yes, today is going much smoother!
Yep, those drastic downpours of life! I guess those are the things that help us stay thankful for the times of sunshine in life.
And, by the way,...you are doing quite awesome with your quit!

Geez, Deb, what a day you had. Seems like everyone relies on you for strength. Guess they know who's the strongest. _________________
