This stinks. We've finally hit the one-month mark since my mom died. I can't believe it has only been one month. That means I haven't even been back in Oki for a month. I must be stuck in a time warp. Either that or I'm living my own personal Ground Hog Day Hell. Maybe time is dragging so slowly because I don't spend enough time sleeping. That could definitely be it. I've stopped counting the number of times I get up with Landon because it just depresses me. Maybe if I wasn't spending so much of my time awake, time would seem to pass quicker.
Another solution to my problem could be a drug-induced coma.
"Wake me up when the heartache is over!" I'd say to the doc as he pumps my IV full of sleepy narcotics.
It sounds like a great way to pass the time. Who's in?
oh mel...i'm so sorry for what you have to go through. i can't even imagine. can i take landon and ethan on friday for you? you could sleep or lounge around or go shopping. whatever. or if you'd rather be with people, come on over for a playdate. i'm not the best at expressing feelings, but i just feel terrible about what you have been through and I'd like to ease your burden. seriously. i'm taking your kids. it's on my calendar.

ReplyDeleteMelanie,
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked at blogs for a while. As I read this post, I found out that your mom died. Now I am frantically reading back posts to read all the details and crying as I go. I am so sorry. I am sorry that a month later I am acknowledging your sad loss. Thank you for your candid, real, genuine thoughts on life and living ---- and on death. I feel so sad and will be thinking of you.
love,
jenifer
Melanie,
ReplyDeletethis is Riley, Erika's husband, any way I am going to become a sailor soon and I wanted to talk to your husband about some different opportunities and some specific things that I should look for. If you could have him email me or give him my address I would really appreciate it,
Hope your doing well,
Riley
