On our way back to the top

Well, I've got most things figured out now... We've set a date for Mom's Memorial, I've set up help with packing up her apt., I've cut off her phone and cable, and I'm pretty sure I've notified everyone I needed to. I think I'm doing pretty good.

We've run into quite a few snags though (of course). I tried my best to pick a date for her Memorial that would be good for everyone.... and like 10 people can't come, including her best friend. And I hate that because Cathy has written something she'd like to have read.... so I think I'm going to try to find a camcorder I can borrow from someone and go tape her reading it and just play it for everyone instead.

I figured out a couple strange coincedences......

* My Mom and My Dad died 13 days and 13 years apart from each other.
* The 1 year anniversary for Dads Death was the year that the Breeders Cup was in Louisville.... well.... Mom's Memorial is being held the day that the Breeders Cup is in Louisville.

Kinda weird I think.....

Also,

The day Mom died... we found out that a pretty good friend of ours that we hadn't seen or heard from in years was killed in a car wreck. That was really surprising for us too... He was the same age as Sean. And Sean and I were just talking about him a few days prior to this. We were wondering what he'd been up to lately. So sad to lose someone so young.

On a happier note. Sean got chosen to be in the commercial for next year for the haunted house he's been working at this month. He was all excited... my hunny loves acting. So this time next year, my luv will be famous.. hehe

Everyone's doing alright. I think watching her go downhill like we did made it easier to say goodbye to her. Everyone was tired of seeing her so miserable, and was almost relieved when it was finally over for her. My mom was my best friend, and she always will be. It's going to hurt for awhile I'm sure. I haven't been crying... I don't really feel like I need to... but the rest of my body has been reacting. I'm all jittery and shakey and my stomach has been so upset since it happened. I wish all that would pass already.. I've barely been able to eat anything without feeling sick..... and I soooo wanna eat.

My cousin took Mikayla out with 2 of her cousins yesterday... took them to Chuck E Cheese and to see a movie (in 3D), so she had all kinds of fun yesterday. Then we went to the church's trick or treating thing last night too so she had a full day and I got a whole day to catch up on some sleep... which was nice.

Seans mom is supposed to come over tomorrow after work to help me pack up moms apt., that might be kinda difficult on me. My problem here is that... I've called into work the past 2 weeks and I told them I'd be back this week but I have to help Linda tomorrow so I'm going to have to call in again... Wonder how many chances they're gonna give me? Not like losing a job that gives me 6 hours a week is going to hurt me much... but still...

Anyway.... that's about it in my world lately......

Things are looking up around here, thanks to the many many wonderful friends I've got. =)
