I need sympathy.

[Summers]

Well, really, I just need to vent. You don't have to answer--I just think I'd feel better if I told you how crappy I feel tonight.

My sister-in-law died Tuesday night. She was 47 and died of an asthma attack. WTF? She has 2 kids in high school, and the 18-year-old girl just had a baby. I wasn't really that close to her, but it's very sad. The funeral isn't until Sunday, but I drove up there today (hour and a half drive) to help my mom straighten up the house because of all the people who are showing up, and I made a bunch of food and took it over in tupperwares so that my brother doesn't have to worry about how to feed all those people. It's what I do in a crisis. I don't know how to do anything else, so I feed people.

On the way home, I was in a four-car pile-up on I-35. Oh, my God! The curse is real! Luckily, nobody was hurt and it was all fairly minor damage, but my baby was really scared and wouldn't stop crying and I couldn't get my car to start. It's a retired police cruiser, so when the cop showed up, he flipped some magic button in the trunk and it came back on. We only have one car, so I was worried it would have to be towed and we'd have to figure out an alternate way to get to the funeral Sunday.

Oh, and I started my period yesterday. I hate the whole world.

Summers, my condolences to you and your family.

And I'm sorry about your car accident. At least you and your baby weren't injured.

Tomorrow will be a better day.

*decides to put knife down and just eat pizza instead*

Thank y'all.

That sucks. Hope everything turns out for the good.

My thoughts exactly.

[ShoogarBear]

My condolences.

Umm, for everything except the period, I guess. I'm not sure what the proper response is there. Congratulations maybe, if you're not trying to get pregnant?

Actually, we've been hoping to get pregnant again since we had the first one over 2 years ago. It took us 4 years to conceive him. It used to be a really touchy subject for me and every period made me really depressed for a few days. Now that I have my son, it's not so traumatic, but, yeah, I'd rather be pregnant. But I wasn't going to about that here.

And, really, thank y'all for your kind words. It feels better just to feel like you can vent a little and someone's listening.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Summers. You actually brought some strength and substance to the whole situation by going into action & making food and filling some real needs for your brother and family members. I'm sure you can pool your resources from friends or relatives and get the transportation figured out.

May God bless you during this rough time and give strength.

[ObiwanGinobili]

I'm sorry to hear about your family's loss...

and car accidents suck! But it's good to hear that you and your bbay are A OK.

as for the period.. it'll be gone by next week!

[Flea]

My condolences Summer. I have a child that is an asthmatic and we have had some scary moments in the past.

Thank goodness the accident was not serious.

[spurschick]

That is definitely what I would call a bad day, but that day is over now. I'm glad that nobody was hurt. My condolences to your family.

[angel_luv]

I'm sorry Summer!

I said a prayer for you and your family.
