Thank you ALL! Just being able to throw it out there I felt some relief. I know things will work out I just need to keep moving forward.

More of that "put one foot in front of the other" business. You handle so much. It would be nice if SOMETHING would just work out easily.

My friends surgery went well except they found a 3rd spot that needs to be removed she will still start radiation tomorrow and schedule a new surgery to remove the other spot. My 19year old god daughter spent most of the day on the phone arguing with her suposed ex boyfriend then spent the evening waiting for him to come pick her up to take her shopping, he never showed and she is oissy but not talking about it. My 18 year old god daughter checked herself out of the hospital and found a friend to drive her to her moms house. She hasn't lived there is almost a year yet she let herself in while her mother was sleeping and trying to recover from the surgery. Ugh!! My kids are doing remarkably well adjusting to the added person and stress in the house. I am so proud of my little troopers! And ...... I was given an opportunity to take on another PCA job today. Even though I hate the idea of being away from home/the kids more and feel like I have enough going on for 20 people I can't justify not taking the job. Money is crazy tight here like everywhere else and with a new mouth or two to feed I decided to take the job. A very bitter sweet victory today. All in all I am still moving forward one step at a time. Thanks fir all the prayers and positive vibes it helps more then you know.

Thank You for the update. Glad your friend's surgery went well, but sorry to hear they found another spot. Glad to know the rest of your family are being troopers thru all of this. Glad you were able to find another source of income with the new PCA job today. But hard to be away from home and all that's going on, and knowing you have so much to do, the work of 20 people. That's alot to keep up with. Glad to hear you're able to keep putting one foot in front of the other, and keep on doing the remarkable job you're doing with your family.

Radiation went as well as can be expected. She is being positive by saying at least it's not chemo again. It just breaks my heart that these things keep happening to her she is one of those truly rare "nice" people that are so hard to find in this world. I wish there was something I could do to ease this for her. Feeling helpless and sad. I don't even know if I am doing the right thing for her girls. Well really only the one living here is talking to me

Erin, I will keep you in my prayers as well. I hope you're able to sneak in a little time for quiet amidst the chaos--now more than ever you may need to carve out a little "me time" -- easier said than done, of course! Hang in there ...

Thank you! I did sneak away tonight for a bit of adult friend time and it was fabulous! The day started off a bit shaky but in the end it was good. I had a PTO meeting and school book fair that I had obligations to attend this morning. I also was meeting up with a close girl friend to talk about a BIG sewing contract that i really want ( she made plans with another girl friend of ours to do a litte christmas shopping so i was hoping to meet up before they finish too. At least that was the plan) So I set everything up for the kids to have a nice day at home and headed off for my day. An hour in I get a text from the 19yo that read "Can you take me to the urgent care?" that's it no explanation or anything. So I left they meeting to see what was wrong canceled tmy plans and came home to take her in. Turns out she had a bladder infection that she had previously and never finished her antibiotics so it resurfaced. No biggie but I didn't know that she had been texting her mom the night before and had the symptoms but didn't say anything to myself or my mom who where sitting in the same room. She waited until an hour after I left the house to tell me she needed me to drive across town again to take her in. Not one thank you or I'm sorry just pissy attitude because I wasn't playing along with her poor me routine. She eats crap and doesn't take care of herself or the baby very well at all!! So I filled her script and droped her back off at home and went on with my plans. I got to the mall just as my friends where done ( driving now in the snow across town) missed the girl time and went to my friends house to talk about the sewing project and ended up going out for a freind of a friends 30th birthday party and having a great night out on the town. See it all works out in the end .

My goodness, that's a lot to deal with at once. Or even spread out! I will certainly be praying for all involved.
