A chance to "vent" about something.


Or do you have something to "rejoice" about?

Poor Evan!! The kid has had a fever since Sunday afternoon and it's his spring break! I guess it's good that he didn't miss any school but it really stinks that we couldn't do anything fun. I wanted to take the kids to museums, the movies, shopping, etc. but it just couldn't happen. At least we didn't have plans to go away some place. I still feel badly for him.

Oh, and there still isn't much money coming in from dh's job. We refinanced a few weeks ago so we added a little to the loan to get us by for awhile and we don't have to pay the mortgage for April. We are supposed to get some money back from the old bank because we had to pay the mortgage for March but closed on the refinancing a few days later. It was supposed to show up by yesterday but it didn't. Why do I have to fight so hard for money that's rightfully mine? Between insurance, this mortgage business, and dh's puny paychecks, I'm about ready to scream!

Tuesday would have been my moms 58th birthday and my parents 40th wedding anniversary. I stayed super busy on Tuesday and it didn't effect me too much, now it is just laying heavy on my heart. I want to keep pushing it away but it just keeps popping up.

I hope that Evan is feeling better soon. It sure stinks to be sick over spring break.


And gosh, I hope the financial issues get resolved/better soon too. I don't cope well with those kinds of situations, so I admire how well you are handling it!

Thanks!! Evan's feeling much better (about 90% in his words) and he figured out that out of the 10 days of break he's been sick for 4 so the fact that it was less than half really helped his attitude. I must say, he's been great about it! I've heard very little whining and there have been NO pity parties at all!!

The whole financial thing has certainly taken its toll on us but we're trying to make the best of it. I've been saying lots of prayers and it seems like every time we get to the end of our money, some comes from somewhere. Of course coming here and venting is a HUGE help. Dh has been getting about 1/3 of his usual salary so that covers the mortgage and some bills. The rest we've taken from savings or things like the refinance have come up. One of their major brand new clients is a new bank and their loan just came through so that means cash flow should be better soon. They are also set to open their doors in April so that should help the situation as well.

Oooo. Things like that are always tough. We're here if you need us. Don't be afraid to experience the feelings. Trust that they will get lighter as time passes. Remind yourself of the happy memories you've got too. Maybe that will lighten your load. :)

Hugs and smiles to you!! :)

Hugs Chrisi!Your mom shared a b'day with Gabrielle.It is so hard to lose a pareent.My dad died almost 11 yrs ago and I still miss him terribly.I hits me more when Gab does recitals and stuff because I just think how much he would have enjoyed her.I also have trouble on the anniversary of his death.


You lost your mom at a really young age that must have been tough.Does Alexis remember your mom at all.I know Gab does not remember my dad and that hurts me sometime.

Thanks! I know it's okay to feel it. And it has gotten a LOT better over the last 7+ years. But every once in a while it just sneaks right up on ya and won't let go.

Not too much. I'm finding it hard to get back in the groove at work having been out of the office so much. There are always issues at work. :-) But its not unbearable and I have a good colleague who goes for coffee with me every day almost and we let it all out and then feel better. LOL

I am really mad at lots of people right now but the main one. My older brother, he did not even give me a hug at all this past weekend. nothing to comfort me at all while family was around. I even paid for his room one night and forked over lots of things for him with out even a thank you. he has some nerve
