It's been a trying week... Stressssssed girl here!

I'm so glad this week is almost over!  I got a phone call last Friday telling me that my 2nd Mom passed away, she was my Best friends Mom growing up (She helped me through so much growing up, almost as much as my own Mom) so that made me sad and feeling lonely because they're in San Diego and there is just no way I could have gone out for the fumeral yesterday, and then yesterday I got a call from my Mom telling me that my Uncle Bob passed away and the fumeral is on Tuesday morning.  I can't take any time off work and I get off on Tuesday at 7am, have to be at my folks house at 8am and the fumerall is at 10:30 in Shallote, NC.  I hope I can sleep a little in the car but past experience isn't good.  Then I just got off the phone with my Mom again and my Aunt in Kentucky just passed away last night...  Gees!  Now I can't take off any more time at work because we're short handed and her funeral is next Saturday (again, I'd get off work at 7am on Saturday morning and have to fly out at 9am from the airport right down the road)...  I am very frustrated, stressed, Very Very sad, depressed and anxious.  Rex is trying to be helpful but he just hasn't seen me this way because I'm usually upbeat and not much bothers me...  I feel Very SICK and I have to go to work tonight on top of it... ugh!   Thanks for letting me vent.  I just don't know what I'm going to do.  I have to go take a nap in an hour so I can function tonight...  Chat with ya'll later! Sheryl

Wow Sheryl, that's a lot to process through.  I am sorry for your, and your family's, loss.  Do what you can do, but don't feel guilty over what you cannot do.  Your family should understand if you can't go.  Either way, don't forget to take care of yourself. Take care. Ellen

Thanks Elln, I'm doing what I can and I know I'll be fine... Just a lot to deal with right now.  Anyway, thanks for the kind words!  The family does understand, I'm my worst enemy...ugh! Sheryl

Wow! so much to handle at one time.  I pray peace and strength for you.

Debbi, Thank you for your prayers, I appreciate it!   Sheryl

Oh goodness Sheryl!!! I am sooo sorry to hear about your losses!! When it rains it pours, but jeez-o-peats!!  Be strong and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as you mourn these losses of your loved ones!! Hang in there girl and Kudos for Rex for being your support!! ((((((HUGS)))))
JAMI

Thanks Jami,

I hope it's done raining!  Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, they help more than you know!   Rex is a wonderful support for me, I am so blessed to have him in my life!

(((hugs back!)))

Sheryl

((((Sheryl))) I agree this has been the worst week I have EVER HAD in my life... Im dealing with the same type of situations you are with not being able to go out to Oregon ect Im right up the road if you need me for anything!!

Darcie

Thanks (((Darcie))), You are going through the same type of situation.  I would have flown to San Diego and go to Kentucky also if I could but just cant get any time off work.  We just hired 2 more dispatchers so hopefully things will settle down at work and we will be able to take off time if we need to.  Everyone understands so that helps.  I will be going to Shallote on Tuesday hopefully I'll be able to sleep on the way and stay awake during the service.  It's hard having family so far away.  When I lived in Oregon (Beaverton, the Portland area) my Dad had a heart attack and I couldn't go be with him, he's fine but that was hard.  Now all my immediate family lives here in the Richlands area.   Anyway, I'm rambling...  Thanks again! Sheryl

I am sorry for your loss. It has been a jacked up week for me too. I did a u turn on a freaking one way street and didn't relize it till I seen cars coming my way. My mind wonders. I am soon going to give up on driving and I am only 43 years old. I hope God will bless you and your family in a special way.
