Woe is Me

Yesterday's post gave the impression
of a deep dark depression;
Sorry about that,
I needed a venting session.

It's been a bad week
My lip is swollen and bloody
Got in a fight
With my toddler buddy

Scott confesses to me
My hair has turned gray
He says are you going to color it
RIGHT NOW? TODAY?!

Emily said I feel sick
I said Find something to do!
I had no idea
Her temp was a hundred and two

I open the newspaper
And scream What the Heck???
My housecleaner is WANTED
For writing bad checks

Lilly is gone
I already talked about that
Oh I forgot to mention
I'm also getting fat

My hands are numb
I'm still losing my shoes
I think I must have
The After Cancer Blues

Love to All,
Michele;

Michele,
All of that IS way to much to handle in one week-any one of those things could set me off on any given day! I wish I knew the answer to make it all easier, but I don't. Just know that I am still praying for you!

Love,
Amy Sparks

Stuff will happen;
Sick kids & gray hair.
Not to mention the occasional
encarcerated housecleaner.

When life gets you down,
someone's always around
if you need help on the rebound.

Michele,
oh my gosh,
what a week, heads up baby, it will all be okay. Housecleaners come and go, doctors do to, sick kids and gray hair are temporary.
Just know I will still be praying for you, someday you will look back and laugh if your not already.
laughter is the best for life.

Oh my word - you crack me up! You are a fantastic writer! I love the poem. :) That is a ton of stress for one mamma. You've survived worse weeks than this so 'chin up.' It always gets better. Grey hair does suck - I found mine last June (the 12th, I believe) and Heidi has been doing hair magic every few months since! Amy H

Michele,

I am sorry you have had such a bad week. So many things going on, it does get a bit overwhelming at times. I can definately relate to the gray hair. Mine is coming in all gray and is about an inch long and I look like I have a spiky mohawk going on. It is crazy. I can relate to the sick kids, our 18 year old has had a terrible cold which the doc said was allergies. I really need a housecleaner, I am sick of cleaning it myself! As far as your doc, man that really sucks. I don't know what I would do if my onc left because like you said you do develope a very close relationship with them. Hang in there and hopefully they will recommend you to a great new doc! I always tell myself there is a reason for everything. I will say some extra prayers for you tonight.
