~~Sorry for worrying some of you-A LOT is going on~~

Hi everyone, Wow-came in this morning to find some emails and then some posts about some of you being worried about me...I guess some were shocked not to see a novel in my Friday morning post and then nothing on Saturday! I am so sorry. I am going to post on Jans thread in a minute-but dont want to have to put everything in there-or you would be there ALL afternoon reading *sigh* Had the sale on Friday with Mel-it went okay-but got very very hot.....and-yes-lived on pain pills. Friday went okay sale wise-but I was hurting so bad, I really just wanted to come home and swim to cool down etc-my face, neck, arms and knees were burned to a crisp-and we had an umbrella over us!! Ok-so got home, went to start some laundry and then we were going to get in the pool-went to the laundry room and the water was literally just dripping out of the washer like a leaky faucet-told Darrel to go get dad-looked out the laundry room door (which is the other half of the garage-but they are seperated by a brick wall-anyway-look out-and there is water shooting up from a crack in the concrete right between the garage and the laundry room-and the yard on the garage side is totally flooded-and has run half way down our driveway!! ***** What the hell now? Yep, broken water line-a main one-AND-as OUR luck would have it-UNDER the garage/laundry room area!!! We didnt even have a clue where the shut off was-and all the places we called to get help-said they couldnt get to us until Monday UNLESS we wanted to pay the emergency rate-which was 3 times the price of regular work day!! We were concerned about our pump going out since it was constantly having to run! Talked to Mikes mom and dad and they said they would come Saturday and we would get it figured out and not to worry about the pump going out-its pretty big and can run constantly for 3-4 days while the pool fills-so we were just keeping our fingers crossed.  Went to get in the pool-and it was raining-so-we scratched that. Jon was heartbroken-because he and Darrel had been with me at the sale and thats what they were looking forward to since they were hot as well (but not burned-thank goodness!) So-was going to lay down and rest a bit-but forgot I had to get Steph at work at 9, so had to leave to get her at 8:30-didnt want to lay down and fall asleep and miss picking her up-LOL-so I started dinner and then went to get her. Her and I had a really good talk and she was staying the night with her grandparents again-but said she was ready to come home and how sorry she was about everything and she missed us.   Got home-and no more got my shoes off and got a frantic call from my mom-she was bleeding from her rectum. *CRAP*....Are you kidding me??!! Went back to town again~spent some time with her, trying to get her to go to the emergency room and trying to calm her fears-and trying not to lose my mind or cry because didnt want to scare her!! I think, by the time I was driving home-that God drove most of the way-I was so exhausted and so tired, I only got 2 hours of sleep Thurs night-was up early to go to the sale and now its going on midnite-and here I am, feeling so tired and cant sleep. I did it tho-got to Mels Sat morning for the sale and it was raining cats and dogs here-which wasnt good-because they needed to dig up the yard and the concrete in the laundry room and garage to get to the lines-(not to mention the sale) They did find the shut off-but unfortunately-I have no washing machine right now-and no cold water in the front bathroom or the kitchen sink. At least I can still do dishes-but I would rather be able to wash my clothes. The yard is all dug up, and the concrete in the laundry room is dug and the hole is never ending-looks like it goes to hell~ we are using the sump pump to pump out the water that flooded under the garage (actually afriad we may have to tear the structure down at this point!) Mike came in the house and asked me who was the last one that took the vaccum out of the pool (we call it Oscar) and I said-I did-and he said the way I left it on the concrete next to the diving board-I broke part of the hose- *WHAT?* I certainly CANT afford to fix that right now! Ok-so NOW I am thinking, I better not even leave the house, because Im an accident waiting to happen...shouldnt have thought that way-because I was rearranging things in my refridgerator-and a jar of Miracle whip (brand new one, I might add) came out, landed on my left foot and busted-cutting my foot and stinging because of the miracle whip getting in the cut AND then, when I moved-stepped on another pc of glass I didnt see and cut the bottom of my foot! Wait....it gets better-I went to make the kids some lemonade-and Im not sure how it happened, but I jammed my finger into the cannister so bad-that I think its broken and it hurts like crap too!! OK......now-if thats not enough....dun, dun, dun....I am sitting eating a protein bar-and I bite down and there is something really hard-and yep= My tooth broke right in half- a molar.....it didnt hurt right away, rather-waited for a couple of hours and I thought I was gonna die!! We invited everyone over to swim and cool off, Everyone was here before me, I had to go to Joplin again, get Stephanie, drop off movies and go to Walmart for some food-Mel is in really rough shape. I have never seen her like this-not even after her surgery for her hernia-I cried off and on most of the evening because I couldnt do anything for her and she didnt want to go to the emergency room (where she belonged really) because she didnt want them touching her and making it worse. She cant even walk without leaning and holding onto something-she cannot stand up straight and she just moans in pain and cries because it hurts so bad. We thought some time in the pool (weightless) and with the jets on her back would help-but it actually made it worse, so just as soon as she got in, she got out. Im so worried about her and my mom. I cant shake this feeling, and at this time, dont even give a crap whats wrong with my back or whatever, just want those 2 to get better! I dont know what Id do without either of them! Then, trying to get the rest of the stuff done and planned for the wedding....I think I may need a vacation real soon...Its not looking like I will get one in the near future tho. At this point, to be honest-I know that God is the one getting me through everything, because I am certainly not handling this on my own! **I am NOT writing this for ANYONE to feel sorry for me-really-just so busy right now-but I would appreciate ANY prayers you all could say for my mom and for Mel. Please. Well-thats it (isnt that enough? LOL) I will try to get back to a lot of your emails as time permits-but I have a lot to do here at the house today and tomorrow...so it may not be as soon as Id like-in fact, it may be a week or so before I get to everyone...I am not mad at anyone-I love all of you for thinking of me-and I will talk to you later. All my love, Janet

Love you too sweetie , no way to respond to all of that but just know that your mom and Melissa are still in my prayers and so are you. Hope to see you tomorrow night at the meeting, since you are bring Nutti too. Love and hugs. Jan

Hi Janet; I'm so sorry about all your troubles. Sometimes, it makes you want to crawl in a hole and not come out! But, sounds like your family really relies on you. When things go that way for me I read this poem on my wall: If you have a secret sorrow, a burden or a loss, an aching need for healing.... Hang It On The Cross. If worry steals your sleep and makes you turn and toss, If your heart is feeling heavy... Hang It On The Cross. Every obstacle to faith or doubt you come across, Every prayer unanswered.... Hang It On The Cross. For Christ has borne our brokenness and dearly paid the cost To turn our trials to triumph... Hanging On The Cross. You have many friends here to help you carry your burdens.

Janet, I just got off the phone with Mel, she said she is definally doing something about it tomorrow.  I have been prayng all along for her and your mom!!  I just found out today you had called and talked to Roy and something bad had happened.  He didnt tell me until today.  I am so sorry sweetie for everything that you are going thru.  I didnt even remember you calling while I was at the hospital.  I was completely out of it.  It is a long story I havent been able to sit for long at the computer and finish to post.  I will because someone else could have this problem with meds and I wouldnt want it to ever happen to anyone!!!!!   If I can help in anyway please let me know.  Even if it is just to talk or let off steam.  I love ya and am always here for you. Love Susan

I am praying for you and the entire situation hon!  I hope to still see you tomorrow night, but I understand if there is too much going on..... Love,

No time to post a lot but I want all of you to know I am thinking and praying for you. Love ya!
