So today started out like any other day. Wake up early with a crying colic baby. And then the shiit storm started.
Cooper is sick. He was coughing, runny nose, the works. He got it from my husband who is currently sick. I obviously know Im next.
Then I go to the dr to go get my mirena put in and and of course, I have a lump that is suspicious and because I am very prone to cancer, I have to get it biopsied. My grandmother and mother both had ovarian cancer, and I have stage 4 endometriosis. So the odds arent really in my favor here. Kinda funny how I was approached about scheduling the hysterectomy, discussed it with DH and then decided we'd wait and just go on Mirena for now...and then I get a lump. LOVELY.
SO I call my husband to tell him whats going on and he tells me that our insurance is going up by $44 a week. Fabulous.
So I call my MIL to tell her and to see if she can take next Friday off because I need help that day (the day of the biopsy) and she says "Yes, I can watch Cooper for the day because I wont be working that day." I say "Oh, you took that day off?" and she said "No, I was laid off." After 22 effin years with her company she was laid off.
Which is the icing on the cake because my FIL was laid off 3 months ago and hasnt found work yet.
Today sucks on so many levels. I dont even know how to come out from above this right now.
Re: I need serious thoughts and prayers
Oh, honey! ((((HUGE HUGS))))
I'm so sorry today has been such a mess! Words don't make it better but you know I love you and will be keeping you in my thoughts extra much right now. (yes, I said that exactly as I meant to.)
I'm so sorry. You don't deserve any of that shiit.
T & P's
Im just in tears. I am to the point where I dont understand how one person can handle so much. Were doing all this while my mother has up and disappeared because shes scared of my stepfather who hit her. I have seen her once in 5 weeks and when she left she wouldnt tell me where she was going, but made sure to give me her ATM cards and tell me the PIN in case she dies. Fun.
I keep getting hit over and over and over again. I keep getting knocked down and I keep getting up, but I just dont know how to get up anymore.
I feel so defeated.

I think you need to CIO.
I would have to agree. But if I go longer than 15 seconds and someone doesnt come get me, youre in trouble.

big time t&p to you and your family. it seems when sh!t happens its not just one thing, it usually has to be a whole sh!tload of sh!t, hey? i really hope the lump is nothing and your in laws find new jobs! oh and hopefully cooper gets over this cold soon. definitely CIO and im sure one of us will come get you in 15 sec!
Oh man! I'll definintely keep you in my T&Ps. You've got a huge load on you but you have a whole group of women here to support you! I hope you hear from your mom soon and that the biopsy goes well.
I am so sorry. I know not a lot can be said to make you feel better right now, but just know that we're all here for you and praying for you and tomorrow is another day.
I think this calls for you to put your feet up and have a glass of wine and a movie and order in dinner. Or at least just do nothing for the rest of the day.
Keep us posted on your appointment and I hope Cooper gets better soon!

I'm sorry you are going through this. Know that you are a strong woman and you will get through this. I had a rough patch in 2009 and I remember reading this and thinking I can make it! You will too, it won't bea easy but you will.
Patience Strong
If you stand very still
in the heart of a wood...
You will hear many wonderful things
The snap of a twig
and the wind in the trees
And the whirl of invisible wings
If you stand very still
in the turmoil of life
And wait for the voice from within
You will be led down the quiet ways
of wisdom and peace...
In a world of chaos and din
If you stand very still
And hold to your faith
You will get all the help that you ask
You will draw from the silence
all the things that you need
Hope and courage and strength for your tasks.
2 babies in heaven (mc)
