I feel so much love for you...Hang in there, Jenny. I feel so much love for you and your family. I wish it wasn't so hard and you were not suffering so much. Just know that you are LOVED by me, your friends and family, and God. That helps me feel less alone when I'm hurting. God is our constant in the midst of challenge, struggle, and strife. He is with you and it's my hope you will feel his peace and presence as you face these storms of life.<BR/><BR/>TashaTasha Simonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826986616582756338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293396720620011907.post-54737330628113941162009-01-07T09:47:00.000-05:002009-01-07T09:47:00.000-05:00I am SO incredibly sorry that this has happened. ...I am SO incredibly sorry that this has happened. And I completely understand how you feel (okay, maybe not completely, but I CAN grasp it). I know the days where you don't even want to get out of bed because the emotional pain is so bad. I definitely know about how you feel you can't talk to anyone. I have a couple of good friends whom I really do love, but everytime (which, I assure you, isn't much) I try to share my trials, their response is to interrupt me and share about theirs. These are women who are having marital problems. Been there, done that. While I don't have those issues any longer, I do still have issues that I'd like to bounce off someone without paying for a counselor, which I certainly can't afford right now. It's no fun when you're continually being dumped on. And I know the platitudes that "God won't give us more than we can handle"...hmpf. I'm sure He won't, but sometimes I wish He would spread the love, ya know? I don't know what to offer you other than an e-shoulder! I know we've never met, but I can really commiserate with you, and I definitely feel for you, and while it may not seem like much, I will continue to pray for you. If we lived closer, we could go do margaritas and chick flicks...or margaritas and tequila shots...or just tequila shots. I'm not making light of your situation, please don't think that. What more do you do, though? I don't know, but keep venting. Hopefully, that will bring some relief.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry also about the shop. That sucks. My daycare income decreased so much this past few months that I had to have my mom help with Christmas, and doncha know, in her subtle ways, I won't be able to forget that. I HATE asking for any kind of help, but sometimes I have to. It makes me feel like so much less a person, especially when the "giver" is my controlling mom, who you know, lives with me. Help.<BR/><BR/>I've just decided I can only do so much, and when I can't do any more, then someone else will have to kick in, or just do without, whatever it may be. Everyone on the other blogs that I read is talking about what a wonderful year 2009 will be...I wonder. I try to have an upbeat attitude, but I'm not feelin' it! I truly hope and pray for you and your family that it is, though. You definitely deserve it!!Sidney (Sixy Mama)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16995239482766454974noreply@blogger.com
