My Daughter's Birthday
Comments (6)it sounds like you're both feeling her absence (I've noticed that guys, simply because they don't have girlfriends to cry to, tend to respond to pain by being short-tempered) and no, after being on good behavior for two straight days and making sure I didn't rain on anyone else's parade- I'd have fallen over, dragged myself under the couch, and sat there in the dark, crying with the cats. hopefully, things will improve over the next few weeks. doing something 'for her' helps - work with a reading program 'for' my nanna (who left me her library) and garden 'for' my aunt, who was dreadfully talented with paints, but couldn't keep a spider plant alive. it does help.and staying busy yourself will help chase off the sharks with stethescopes....See MoreWhat woke me up at 8:30 his morning!
Comments (4)I am glad your DH was safe. So sorry for the man with the severe burns and for those with injuries/ Glad it was a holiday! What a horrid way to start the day....See MoreMy first offer!!..
Comments (25)Well, this is kinda like a marriage......for better or worse, the agreements have been signed to sell this house. Last night, I did take Weedyacres advice...the road that I chose was to take less than I wanted to get out of here and "back home" to my family and friends. The buyers did come up $17,500....we split the difference. I had planned to sell most of the funiture on Craigslist anyway, so now I can start over with new stuff...and not have to have a moving van...now we can do it in a U-Haul and a pickup. I was not "married" to the funiture....it was such good quality, but most of it did belong to my DH and his deceased wife...but we had intended to get some of it new when we got to move anyway......it was just that it seemed that they were wanting "blood" too. I did have them scratch the down-filled sofas in the den....DH's D wanted those because of sentimental reasons....so I hope the buyer will go along with that. BUT, BUT...no more than I signed, I had a call from the other realtor that they had a buyer who wanted to sign papers to buy this tomorrow!!!!! and from the way they talked, he would have paid what I originally wanted. Oh well, I am going to try to settle myself down and forget about that call.....it is done. The buyer is willing to let me live here free 2 weeks beyond closing.....close April 12 and move by May 1. I hope my dear recently deceased DH would agree and be happy for me...it was our dream for several years to move back on our lake...so although it has been extremely hard to do with this only 2+ months since his passing and everything I pick up is a "memory" and the flood gates open up. I am an emotional one anyway, but these tears glands are getting a work out~~ Thanks to all of you who have stuck by me through all of this ordeal...it is so good to know that somewhere out there in internet-land, someone cares about me....See MoreDH co-worker gone at 47
Comments (14)Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. We found out on the eve news tonight that we know the hit-and-run driver. The 21 YO driver turned himself in. He was/is scared crazy. He's a local kid, DH & I went to school with his mother. His DGM babysat me when I was 3 and 4 YO. The woman that was killed was so bubbly and full of energy, she made everyone feel included and motivated to work as a team. You laughed and didn't know why sometimes. The kid had his life on track and was working his way through vocational college and just didn't see the stop sign. Please pray for both families....See Morepeachiekean
