This has been a rough week. I knew it was going to be hard because it was my first week back to work after Christmas break and I have to wrap up my February deadline which is always a pain. But I never could have anticipated the other random bad things that were going to happen. Here's the list:
- One of my good friends lost her husband this week to suicide.
- Abigale dislocated her shoulder playing dodge ball and is now in a sling for a few days and then off to the Orthopedic Surgeon she goes.
- Hannah woke up this morning with a terrible stomach bug. Poor baby puked 5 times before she was even supposed to leave for school.
- Out of the 8 appointments I had set for this week, 5 were no shows, 1 had me give the presentation standing in their lobby and the other two weren't the true decision makers so I got no decision. Lovely.
Today is the day my friend will bury her husband. This will be a hard day for her. When my mom died my dad called the funeral "the show". I'm sure she will feel the same way, everyone whispering about how he killed himself and some of them there just to gawk and "get the scoop". I hope they remember that funerals are for the living, not the dead. Be there for my friend, help her, support her, show her that you care.
This weekend I will hug my girls and my husband a little tighter and count my blessings. Next week can only get better, right?
