Here I was, complaining how miserable I was. How DH upset me....blah blah blah. I think I told you guys that one of the girl's mother at the sitter has ovarian cancer. Her DH drove her to the hospital yesterday at 4 in the morning, because she couldn't move and was in so much pain. She already had surgery and is in chemo. Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest ones. She is 43 and has 4 kids, 16, 14, 12 and little Jenna( who is Sidney's friend). While he took her to the hospital the older one took care of the younger ones. So my sitter went over there to at least feed them and pick up Jenna because she was crying for her mommy. God it just breaks my heart. She is such a nice woman and a great mother.
So I just went to the store last night and picked some easy stuff for the kids to make themselves, like pizza, sandwhich stuff, hot dogs and sodas and cookies. And I dropped it off at their house. Dad wanted to pay me for the stuff, he didn't have time to go to the store himself. I didn't want any money. The least I can do is make sure that the poor kids are fed.
Now I feel really bad complaining about my pity problems in the face of real tragedy. A lesson I needed to be taught I guess.
Keep her in your prayers please.
