OT: Very trying day

King's Crown · 2004-11-04T16:47:21+00:00

First off the roofer came and took my roof off Tuesday when then should have done it Monday or Wednesday. Why was Tuesday a bad day to take it off... because it rained Wednesday ALL DAY LONG! They put plastic over my roof sparingly and there are leaks and destroyed sheet rock everywhere. The garage ceiling collapsed in one spot. Not that my staying home all day would have helped, but my pregnant girlfriend went into the hospital for an emergency C section. Her husband called and crying said, "You just need to come now!" So, I made sure all the pans to catch drips were emptied and off I went. They ended up inducing her and monitoring the baby's heart rate. It was suspected her cord was wrapped around her neck. Some how with a few scary moments her daughter was born safely with no C section. AND she did have her cord wrapped around her neck. As I was calling the girlfriend list with the news there was one friend we couldn't get a hold of all day. She was going to come to the hospital and never made it. Finally, about 6pm she calls and she had fallen at a gas station earlier in the day and broke her leg. She was in emergency surgery to fix it. She's going to be OK too. I came home to a house that had drips and water damage in every room of my house. I just couldn't be sad about it. I know the contractors will fix it. And it just seemed minor in the scheme of things. I was going to cancel my monthly scrap night tomorrow, but then I thought you know what I need that night! Fortunately, the ceiling above the table isn't going to collapse so we're scrapping! I need a cocktail! Lynne

That's just wrong to treat her like that! The ambulance drivers need to be slapped for being so rude to someone. Go get 'em girl!

Lynne, can you see the moon or stars through your "skylight"? ;))) Go and put on your little black number, pour yourself a tall glass of your favorite cocktail (mine is a margarita) and drink a toast to that healthy little baby girl and that fiesty go-getter girlfriend of yours!

Judy, SA
