sometimes life just STINKS!
I have had THAT kind of 2 months!
My mom had been diagnosed with skin cancer across her face and they thought she would end up loosing both her eyelids and have to have MAJOR skin grafts!
She had 1 skin graft and thru some great surgeon's didn't loose either eye lid or either tear duct! WOOHOO!!!
She is recovering slowly!
My Gramma passed away last night after loosing her battle with with alzheimer's.
She was ready and we were ready to let her go but now I feel, uhm...distressed, like I am just waiting for the next horrible thing to happen.
ON the PLUS side...My family is going back to England for 3 weeks! WHICH will be AWESOME! I may sleep the first week we are there. I am going with the attitude that what ever happens here, will just go on without me and i will just enjoy my vacation with the kiddos and deal with all the rest of the crap when we gethome! I think that is a healthy attitude (ha ha ha...bury your head in the sand for 3 weeks sounds good!)
healthy hugs!

Nic,
I'm so sorry for your loss and for your struggle with your Mom. Sometimes life is really tough. Sometimes it is marvelous--but we don't ask 'why?' then. De' Nial is not just a river in Egypt--Take your trip and replenish your reserve. Enjoyment is just as much a part of life as sorrow. Don't ruin one with the other.
We must treat ourselves with as much loving kindness and respect as we can. That is not selfi**** is preparing us to bless those we love. So laugh and love today and deal with tomorrow --- tomorrow.

Nic,
I'm so sorry about your grandmother. Even when we wait for these things to happen and think we're prepared, we're not. It's always tough. Your mother must be going through an emotional roller coaster ride with everything that is going on with her.
I'm jealous of your trip to England. It sounds like just the break you need. Have a wonderful, wonderful time and don't worry about what's waiting for you when you get back.
Hugs,
Connie
