A blue day



Jim and Daughter #1, the day she graduated from college. Tomorrow morning she leaves for grad school. We are a bit blue around here.
Especially Daughter #2, who now sports a pretty blue cast on her right leg. And she's feeling blue about that, too. Especially because she was supposed to go to Hawaii in July while nannying for J & L. But it seems that trip is off now. And she is more than bummed. I'm sad for her and can't make it better. I keep trying to cheer her up but all I can really say is I'm sorry and this really sucks! But, she'll still go with us to San Diego and then will stay to help with S. She'll be walking all over the place easily by then (it's a walking cast) so things should look up. On a positive note --- we can stick her in a wheel chair at Disney Land and cut to the front of the lines!! Woot!

I will try to post pics tomorrow of the cast. The house looks the same .... a total wreck with a thick layer of chalk dust. Whatever.
The girls and I have just hung out together and spent the day together. We will miss this. A lot. There will be tears shed tomorrow.
I hope to wait until after the drive to the airport.
Another first as a single parent.
Yes, this still sucks.
I'm going to escape in sleep now.
I can't promise you anything about tomorrow's post. I may need deliveries of margaritas and salty foods.
And Kleenex.
:(

Huh? Strange comment from National Lottery...???
Oh well..anyhow, I just wanted to tell you how much I'm thinking about you and how much I love you.
I loved that you posted TO Jim yesterday. That was a great blog entry.
We're gearing up to start work on our bridge this week. (Our driveway crosses a river.) It's going to be a HUGE project. Blechhhh...I have to get a couple ton of hay in before we tear it out, so it's going to be a busy, exhausting week.
I love you tons and tons...please take care of yourself and call me if you need to talk. I'm always here for you:)

Good afternoon my darling daughter. I'm thinking of you today and praying the day will not be too difficult. I'm happy for W but I know how hard it is to see your daughter leave. I know you will be sad, but know that there are MANY people lifting you up in prayer today. When are you leaving for NC? When will you be back? And when are you leaving for SD? Time is rushing by and we will be there before you know it. We love you so very much. See you soon. We will have to celebrate your birthday after we get down there and you get back from SD. I will be singing to you on Saturday, even if you can't hear me. Again, LOVE YOU BUNCHES.
