The Inevitable #3

Here I am again... Not to make a bad week worse, but I got the news this morning that a very dear soul, so close to my heart passed away last night! The wonderful man who married my DH & I. So there, add another damn funeral that I need to attend this week! UGH! Hopefully this is the last for a while! Is it any wonder I am a crying tearful mess today... It's a real good thing there are no Middlesworth Bar-B-Q potato chip in the house!

What a Rotten Past 2 Days

Hey Thanks for the promo BG! I see you got me some followers... Does this mean I have to post Pictures too... Trust me you really should write a book! I wish there was a way that I could know each time you post something! If you get an answer on the "Notification" question let me know, please!!!

So tonight is Friday night and I find myself sitting in front of the computer as I do most every Friday night. However, tonight is different in that for some reason, all I can do is think Life just plain sucks sometimes. I say this because I found out yesterday that a dear friend of mine, whom I hadn't seen in 20 years but still kept in contact with thru e-mail and hearing things from other mutual friends, had passed away in his sleep! Yes I knew he had cancer and I knew the time was close but at age 46??? Really??? I am 46! I guess this is just a reality check that I must have needed! Like I didn't need another one to start a healthier life for myself this year. Then to top it all off... I got this news about 8 hours after I had heard that my husbands grandmother was expected to pass soon as she was "shutting down".  Yesterday at about 1 pm I hear about my friend and then at 7 pm last night I get the news that Gram had passed in her sleep that morning too. Made me a bit nervous to go to sleep last night... "Ya Think". Now My DH works 2nd shift and he is rarely home at night to get these phone calls. So when he called me to "check in" on his dinner break. I was having a bit of a meltdown and had to tell him the news of BOTH passings. If you don't think that was a bit of trouble to get out for me You should think again! I am a VERY emotional person, and my DH once told me that he thought I was so soft hearted that I MUST be the only person at a funeral that cries harder than the deceased's family. So shoot me, I have a big ole soft heart that bleeds mega tears from my eyes!!! Yes I cry at soap operas, AND cartoons... NOT just tear jerking movies! Those I save the rivers for... Guess my favorite song should be "Cry me a River"... NOT!!!

In my old UNHEALTHY Life I would have turned to food for comfort at this time... I'm proud of myself to be able to say that I made good choices the last 2 days and did not revert back to old ways... Pray for me that the Funeral with "reception" tomorrow and then again another one on Monday doesn't kill me this week!
