They come in threes, right?

Well, it's time for some other chump to get some bad luck/news. The other shoe dropped, lucky me!

First was my daughter's miscarriage.

Second was my mom's hospital stay.
Third, happened today... anyone care to make a guess?



Anyone? Anyone?
Beuller? Beuller?


Well if you've followed my blog for a while you know I have a son who's a heroin drug addict and has been in and out of prison.


He's been out on parole, living at home and unable (or should I say unwilling??? perhaps) to find full-time work.  Hubby brought him for his weekly meeting with his PO and for the first time decided to sit and wait for him since there was an open parking spot right outside the building.


Call it good luck or father's intuition but after waiting for just over a half hour, a man came out of the building and told him his urine came back hot and our son would not be going home.  Instead, he's back in prison.


Needless to say, I am sad but I feel empty too.  It's a difficult feeling to describe.  I have been dealing with my son's addiction for years, FOR YEARS!!!! And he's only 25.


If anyone in blogosphere is reading this and you believe in God and the power of prayer like I do, I am asking a huge favor.  Please say a prayer for my son and another for my hubby.  He's so upset and it's difficult for him to handle this particular situation with our youngest child.  And finally, I am going to ask for a little prayer for me to help me to continue to deal with this sad, sad situation.


With heartfelt thanks and a tear running down my cheek, I ask God to give me the strength to persist.


So, any good news out there?  I could use some good news right about now... share please :)

When it rains...

It pours...

Yesterday, was superglued to my desk for most of the day.
An email came out (didn't see it, was too busy working) 15 minutes
prior to it being over...Landlord for our building complex was having a
Water Ice and Soft Pretzel social outside our main lobby.
Colleague yelped, Come On, let's get some.
Hopped up and was away for 10 - 15 minutes...
Don't you know, when I return my phone is telling me I have
a message!
I sit there all day and not a peep and I leave for a few minutes
and lo and behold, there's a voicemail.
Pointed that out to my colleague and we laughed about it.
About 15 minutes later, I finally get to listen to the message
and go to my colleague and say,
'Remember that voicemail I had? Take a gander at what it's about.'
She thought for a moment and said, 'Um, supplier cancelled the Webex?'
and I said, 'Come on, it's ME we're talking about!' and she laughed
and said, 'OMG, some catastrophe has happened!'

BINGO! well sorta...

It was my daughter the nurse telling me that my hubby took my
mother to the ER.  She was having chest pains.  With her history,
best to get it  checked out.  No need to leave work.

Needless to say, they kept her overnight for observation.  Good news,
it wasn't heart related... bad news, she's still there.

Honestly, I should have started writing a book with all the life
stories I have experienced... I am not that creative to make up
this stuff.

Oh, and today, she witnessed a horrific accident.  Actually she said
she was just inches away from being involved and miraculously, no
injuries.  A man and his kids could have been killed by the driver,
traveling at a high rate of speed, ran a red light.  The man and the kids'
vehicle clipped the speeding vehicle.  He said, had my daughter not
slammed on her brakes, he would not have followed suit out of instinct.
He never saw the clown coming into the intersection.  Had he not
slammed on his breakes, his car would have been T-boned and his
family would have been killed!

Oh, I need a drink... a nice, long, slow, cool drink!  Cheers!
