How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Tired of the Tears

in Everyday on 06/09/10

A girlfriends father passed away this week.  Suddenly 65 seems so very young….

My daughter did not make the team she spent all year working for.  Her heart is breaking, and mine is right along with it. 

I have to go for an MRI…I’m sure not sure scared out of my freaking mind everything will be okay, and somehow this makes me cry.

A dentist appointment this week where I get to choose if I want to have freezing or not?  Huh? Okay, this doesn’t make me cry but kind of scares the crap out of me.  Shouldn’t the Dentist, you know, the expert make this decision?

Last night I was touched when super sweet Taylor Matthew’s Dad swelled with pride as his son performed on American Idol (*thank you PVR).  The pride in his eyes as his son sang his heart out….more tears. 

Sweetness

This poor bird flailing in the oil as captured by The Canadian Press.  More tears.  How can BP ever make this right?

Prayers for the departed and the sick, hope for the lonely, cheers for the sweetness….pass the kleenex. 

So, enough with the tears. 

Had to get it off my chest. 

Next post, I’ll bring back the joy.

      I’m sorry to hear about your friends loss.
      I’m heartbroken by the oil that inches closer to my beach.
      but life has to keep moving. cheerfully. happily. always onward and upward.

      There is lots of sadness in this world. And I, like you, even cry at the slightest of touching moments. So my heart is crying for you, too. Sending you prayers and hope you have cause for good cheer soon.

      Glad you felt you could share this with us and get all that off your chest. I wish you all the breast. I mean, all the best!

      PS. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. It made my day!

      BP…..they can never make this right again.

      Thankyouthankyouthankyou! I thought I was the only one in the world that cried watching that audition. Bawled like a baby!
      The birds, oh the wild life dying from this oil, heart wrenching doesn’t even begin to describe it.

      I still remember not making pom pons in the 11th grade. I thought I would DIE. My mother offered to move our entire family to Switzlerland so I wouldn’t have to face the humiliation at school!

      Moving to Switzlerland from the US was extreme, and we didn’t, but I understood the sentiment. Tell your daughter that these rejections are actually the impetus for getting your life on track. They make you strong. They got me on TV!!

      The MRI? I’ll give you a tip. When I had one on my head back in November I was SCARED TO DEATH. Hello, my head! I made the technician tell me if it was ok. She didnt want to. I said I would never tell that she did but I was going to stroke out if I didn’t know I was ok that very SECOND. She told me I was fine and thank God because the stupid ER doc forgot to tell me until I reminded her.

      I had an MRI on my ankle a few years back and pulled the same stunt. I knew it was going to be bad and again forced the tech to tell me. He said it was bad. But by the time the doctor came in I knew the results and then could listen to him blather on and on.

      I know this sounds facile but it’s pointless to worry about something until we know we have something to worry about.
