Horrible day

I have been trying to keep a positive outlook with all the bad stuff that has happened in the last few months...well finally I broke down today. Last night our AC started to act up...was warm upstairs and cold downstairs. So I shut it down with the breaker and opened the door per my mom request so the air could mix. It was only opened a few minutes and my husband closed it, I didn't think to tell him to open it again. Well this morning I called my mom and she told me that her himalayan cat had been attacked by the 2 greyhounds, but he was walking and was ok when she left. Well I told her I would check on him to make sure he was ok. I found him dead upstairs...I feel so completely horrible. My mom isn't blaming the dogs at all, she said that is how they were trained to race. But I feel just so horrible that they did this. We keep all the cats in my mom's area of the house and the dogs sleep in my area of the house...so this wouldn't happen. Then this afternoon, I was in line to pick up my daughter at school and the car in front of me needed to make room for another car to go thru a gate. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw a van a distance away, I backed up slowed and boom! I tapped a car that was too close to me and too low for me to normally see in my rearview. She lady just stared at me thru her window, then slowly got out...there was no damage at all so she starts smiling and saying it is ok...and I start to cry and couldn't stop. I am still weeping, spitting up foam because of being so upset. Tonight I need to volunteer at the school...I am afraid to go, what else could happen today? I think I caught was Flavia had a few weeks ago. Tracey

SOOOO sorry you are having a bad time, I feel really bad about the kitty, it would just have devastaded me... I completely understand why you started to cry... WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS!!! One thing I garantee you though... u did not get it from me, b/c I still have it!! My week started really bad too, but I figured I had done enough whinning on this board... My little one hid from the teachers and staff at school, they were ready to call an Amber Alert and call the police, when she and her little friend were finally spotted picking out, (I'll frwd u the email I got fromt he teacher... ) Now I can laugh about it, but when it ahppened I was FURIOUS!!!! So hang in there hon, it gets better, we just don't know when??!! Also, what I have learned so far is: Things are only as bad as we perceive them... I stopped whinning and complaning when **** happens, I basically tell myself I DO NOT CARE!!! I know it is not easy, but if you care too much, you go crasy... Again, sorry you have your share of bad luck vibes right now, I promisse I will stop posting my bad vibes around here!! -Flávia ((((((hug))))) PS: when u need to break down, go ahead, let it out... makes us feel better!

I would of blew my top if Nikky would of done that. I know I am keeping a lot of stuff in...I try to laugh it off or look at the bright side but today I couldn't. What doesn't kill us...makes us stronger. Tracey

I too am sorry about the kitty. I hope everything gets better for you! I have been having a bad time of it too...I think it's going around. I have had two back surgeries due to two car accidents I had (both not my fault) and I am only 23. So, every once in a while my back goes out and I'm laid up for a few days. Well, I haven't had a bad spell in forever, so I thought it was time for me to start going back to the gym (you know, get into some kind of shape before I have this surgery) and sure enough, I made it 3 days this week, and when I woke up today-BOOM! my back is out. I am having a little pitty party over here, so I totally feel you! It's just frustrating that at my age I can't do some of the things I want to...and tell me another thing...how am I supposed to lose weight if my back won't allow it? I am so fed up. My surgeon says that since I have had two discs removed I need to lose a lot of weight so that my back can handle the exercise...well, isn't that nice. I am so ready for this surgery. Come oooonnnn..... Whew...okay, now that I'm done venting..back to yours...I hope you feel better girl, and it's okay to cry...they say it's good for you. I am in pre-med and we just discussed this the other day..they say that tears appear to reduce tensions, remove toxins, and increase the body's ability to heal itself. So cry away hun!! Shakespeare wrote: "To weep is to make less the depth of grief." -Phoenix (just trying to be smart and philosophical at the same time...did it work?)

I am sorry about your back going out...I can totally relate. Before surgery I was in constant pain, now I am pain free. Soon you will get surgery and things will be looking up for you. Tracey (it worked)

My week was pretty lousy too, and today I didn't think I'd make it through! Then I read your post and thought of that poor kitty and I realized that maybe I can cope with my own problems after all. I can imagine how awful you feel. I'm soooooo sorry!! No offense to Flavia, but I hope no one else on this board catches what she had! It was bad for her and awful for you, too. Hope everyone's weekend is perfect!!! Jan

No offense taken, I too, hope no one gets it!! -Flávia

Well I made it thru today and like I always say tomorrow is a new day, greet it with a smile. I am feeling better about the situation, it was no ones fault just a horrible accident. I too hope everyone's weekend is perfect, lots of us need it. Tracey

Tracey, What a big mess, I am so sorry you are going through so much. My week was worse than normal, but nothing compared to what you have gone through today! Hang in there, it has to get better soon ! I'm a phone call away if you need a shoulder to cry on, Girl! Take care, Amy

Thank you so much Amy. It was horrible crying so hard I even lost my voice more. I am feeling a lot better, went to the Fest and the girls had fun while I was in charge of the slide. I am realizing that is was just a horrible accident. Tracey
