Patty and Corinne...
Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm doing much better, but it's so odd for me to feel so down... I'm usually a very upbeat energetic person, and I just can't seem to get myself going. My mind is still pretty unfocused. We've had so many things happen to our family over the past 6 weeks or so, it's starting to wear me down. I don't know what I would do if I was one of those people with HUGE problems.
1. My son moved out 4/2 (the first to do so!), and we brought Joey home the same day.
2. 2 weeks later, my son lost his job.
3. The next day someone rear-ended my son while he was at a stop sign.
4. My youngest daugter's horse broke her leg while standing in the stall... we had to put her down.. it was a compound fracture in her upper leg.
5. The following week, my son was in another car accident, this one his fault!
6. Joey stopped stopped walking....etc.
7. We lost Joey, Friday the 26th, and yesterday, Mike's mom had to have stents put in two arteries....one had 100% blockage the other was 50%!
Whew! It's gotta get better, though, right? My son is doing okay...lots of back pain. He's working as a horseshoer, but doesn't have the benefits he would have had if he had been able to keep the other job. Mom came through the surgery okay.
And I AM looking for a puppy, but not sure we can fund it right now. I think more than anything I'm overwhelmed with everything that's going on. We also are going through major remodel in the house, we homeschool, and my daughter is turning 16 on Sunday. We're supposed to have a party for her, so that's stressfull too.
Wah... I'm whining.... sorry! Just keep me in your prayers. I need to remember that God has my life in his hands and even though it seems like it's all spinning out of control, HE will bring me through this. I know I will be blessed with another puppy at the right time. And I sure want it to be the right puppy, so I'm trying to wait for God's timing on this.
It's good to know so many are thinking of me and mine...
Hugs to you all...
