We are having an opposite of woot, woot day here. Darryl's mom was put into the hospital on Friday, and today her blood pressure drop..."


I'm so sorry to hear this Jenny. Saying a quick prayer for your family -

Jenny, my thoughts and prayers are with your family during this sad time. I can even imagine how you all must be feeling, but I'm glad you got more time with her than you all thought you would. She sounds like a real fighter

Thank you, Jen and David! :)

She's still hanging in there, Darryl came home really late last night to sleep in his own bed, but he's heading back over there today.

Just to keep everyone who cares updated--Darryl's mom passed away early this morning. Darryl is with most of his siblings, and they are planning everything at the funeral home and finishing up paperwork, etc. It looks like the funeral will be on Saturday.

The timing is not good. Darryl and I were going away this weekend with my parents to my grandma's house to load up furniture, and finish cleaning everything out so we can get the house on the real estate market.

And yesterday, our power got shut off. I didn't have a phone to call them, as our home phone is VoIP, so I drove the kids to my parents house and used their phone. We got it all figured out, it was a billing error (UGH) and power was restored this morning at about 10:30am. We stayed at my parents house until about bedtime last night, so we just came home and went to bed.

BUT, I loved my first day at my new job yesterday! In the middle of all that, it was good that something was positive! I really like the people I'm working with, and its such a nice facility! Woot, woot!

Patricia Hamill (patricia_hamill) | 1 comments Hi Jenny, sorry for your loss, but happy for your new job.

I teach orientation classes at my company so I get to relive the excitement of day one through our new hires. It's a good feeling.

Patricia Hamill (patricia_hamill) | 1 comments My Woot Woot today is because I have the day off tomorrow. Of course, I have the day off so I can meet the washing machine repair man and then attend a meeting at my son's school.

Also, just wrapped up my first draft of my first sequel! Now I have two books to edit. :-)


message 961: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments Thanks Patricia!

That's great about you having a day off (despite the reasons for it not being just for leisure time) and about you getting the first draft of your book done!

Congratulations Victoria and Patricia! And thanks :)


message 963: by Jen (new)

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments Jenny, you are having quite a life! I'm so sorry to hear about the loss. All that other stuff certainly didn't help either. I'm praying for you and your family, that things will settle down, and especially for Darryl as he mourns his mom. Take care -

Thank you ,Jen :)

I'm forcing myself to be positive and happy (at least outwardly) because worrying about all of it isn't going to help any! All out of my control! And things could always be worse!

There is just nothing like something bad happening so two good things can happen. Sorry about your washer, but glad you got some extra time to do the parent thing at school and edit your books!

Well, it was a long busy last 4 days, but its over now! Woot, woot! The funeral service for Darryl's mom was beautiful, but as was to be expected, dealing with some of Darryl's brothers and sisters was exhausting and just not fun! We cut out of the reception pretty early, and drove 3 hours to my grandmother's house and spend the rest of the weekend helping my parents clean out the house, and load up all the furniture in a moving van, then brought it all to their house and unloaded it! In 90 degree heat no less! BUT--its done!!! Woot, woot!

Now hopefully life can get back to semi-normal!

message 980: by Jen (new)

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments Sounds like you're ready for a great cup of coffee and a good book, Jenny. You must be exhausted. Hopefully the new job will provide some distraction and things will settle down. Sounds like you need a vacation!

Lol, Jen, I wish! Yeah, I'm hoping things will settle down now! Thanks, everyone! :)

Tar Heel? TAR HEEL? You mean he was here in NC? Seriously and I missed it? No way!

And congrats David! Woot woot!
