The worst possible week!

Happy Friday GA GANG! I just wanted to post to encourage some of us who maybe having a bad day. I've had a bad week. 1. Had guests (4) visiting from Trinidad who were supposed to leave on Monday. Well due to hurricane, couldn't leave till Thursday. Needless to say, I didn't cater financially to have them stay for 3 extra days. 2. They left my house a wreck! Toilet broken, tub cracked and several carpet stains. 3. Wednesday night reversed into a wall and messed up the back of my newly paid off truck! 4. Found out that guests had to be at the airport for a 6 AM flight 3 hours prior to flight. Left home at 2 AM, no sleep! 5. On the way from the airport up to work, got a flat tire and stranded on GA 400 6. Called Kia's roadside assistance, only to find out that they could find my car in their system. When we finally got pass that, the young lady couldn't locate where I was stranded even though I told her I was on GA 400 at Holcomb Bridge Road, in front of the 7B sign! 7. After almost two hours of monster trailer trucks zooming by me, the tow truck finally found me. 8. Got home to find a ticket in the mail for going through a yellow light. Cost $70! Hair not getting done this week! 9. Got a call from a close friend at work last night to find out she was fired yesterday afternoon. 10. Turned on my headlights this morning to find that one I just paid $30 to replace, blew out again! 11. Went to the gym this morning only to discover that I left my jeans at home! Had to go to Walmart and buy some. 12. God knows what's gonna happen next! 2.5 more days to go in the week! But GOD is good! I am alive! I have a job! I have a drivable car! And I got paid today! So, when you think you're having a bad day, just think, it could be soooo much worst! So, STILL PRAISE HIM! With Love, Vanessa

OH GIRL!! I don't know whether to cry or laff! You POOR THING!! You win! Your's DEFINITELY beats mine!! Stayed at work till 11 last night...promised a client a quote when he walked in the door this morning. Didn't finish last night, so came in at 5am to complete the quote before going for my ROOT CANAL (part deaux). Doc says THIS part is gonna be REALLY sore when the novacaine wears off, so here's some great pain meds....problem is...WHEN can I take?? Gotta go back to work, gotta work with the marching band tonight on the field, and have marching competition from noon until 11pm tomorrow night....AND I gotta find time to clean the house and TRY to work in some time for Joe! GOOD GRIEFISS!!! LOL Left here at 6:45 am, took the kid to school, went to the dentist, came in called the client...Did you get the quote??? Yes, he says, and you had the better price, but the customer decided at 3pm YESTERDAY afternoon that he was just going to stay with his current carrier.!!!!!!!!! :angry:!! ERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! And then other assorted bs this morning as well..... but NUTHIN compared to what you have had going on...AND you still have a bright sunny disposition to boot!! Here's a virtual hug for ya gal.... Hope your week gets MUCHO better!!

Your day sounds like that Tyson advertisment "Have you had your protein today!" We'll be okay! Tough ladies-tough week! We can handle it! Vanessa

Here's to ya hunny! I know the BAD WEEK feeling. I've been having a LOT of them lately. I'm going through some really depressing personal crap lately and the ONLY (AND I MEAN ONLY) thing that gets me through is knowing that God has a plan for me and there is a reason I'm having to learn this horrific lesson. I keep praying that He will get me through it and lead me to the strength and light He has in store for me! As long as I wake up the next morning then I know there's more work that God has for this messenger to do and I'm grateful because it means I will have a more rewarding life when I get to be with Him!!! Be blessed!!! Much Dee Dee

Continue to praise HIM through all your trials and tribulations. Keep the faith. A favorite saying of mines that I heard a long time ago from a TV evangelist is "Tough times never last but tough people do". I can write a book about all the roughness that I have had to endure but GOD brought me through it. GOD bless all my sisters and here's sending up lots of prayers. Luv you all!

Hi, My Beautiful Daughter! The Lord is really growing you for something! Here's a joke that I like to share with the appropriate audience. Hope it makes you smile. I love you, Vanessa!!! Dead Cat Test A kindergarten pupil told his teacher he'd found a cat. She asked if it was dead or alive. "Dead," she was informed. "How do you know?", she asked. "Because I pissed in his ear and it didn't move," said the child innocently. "You did WHAT?!?", the teacher squealed in surprise. "You know," explained the boy, "I leaned over and went 'pssst' and he didn't move." Hugs, Mama

Hey Mama! That was funny! Have a bless weekend! Vanessa

My heartfelt hugs are headed your way. I understand what you mean. Last friday, I finally got my surgery date for December 1st, but three days earlier my husband came down for orders for recruiting duty and will be leaving on Halloween and won't be bac****il December 16th. I'm trying to move my surgery date back, but if I do, then the insurance approval will expire and I had an awful time getting it approved in the first place. I also have a special needs child and I don't know what I will do. His grandmother (hubby's mom can take him for a few days while I'm in the hospital while my mom stays with me) but she's never dealt with him all by herself for more than an hour or two. We also live four hours away from family (hubby is Staff Sgt in Army). I just need a lot of prayer to get through this........lol. Best wishes. Carol from Augusta

Prayer sent! It will work out! I wish I was closer to help out in some way... Vanessa

This week has had it's ups and downs for me as well... My birthday was thursday and it wasn't so happy. I looked at the pics from my last b-day party and they reminded me of something- I remember when I first saw them after the party ended. I uploaded them from my camera and as I viewed them I cried because of my weight. I vowed by this b-day I would have lost some serious weight... obviously that has not happened... I know I have dieted and worked out a lot, and my rediculous insulin levels are mostly to blame, but it hasn't made it any easier! I can remember every year, at some point, I have made a vow of weight loss... and yet here I am- 250lbs, 43 bmi, 45% body fat...almost half of me is fat! Logically, I look at my amazing husband, my wonderful dogs, my beautiful home, and I know I am more blessed than the vast majority of people in the world... and yet I still cry. What does that say about me?!? Okay, so none of you are my shrink, I'll stop off-loading my problems... Valarie
