I'm Really Ready To Be Stress Free!!

[DianaB]

I'm so sorry that your tenants gave you such short notice. I know that you were worried that they might move. I'll be praying that you get new tenants soon, really soon!!

Your baby is growing up and, let me tell you that you never stop worrying about them. Sometimes it's not as much as other times but what they're dealing with is always a concern. I know that you're worried about him driving back and forth and again, I'll be praying.

And you know that I'm praying for your Mom!!

Gayle...Mom is starting to feel better. For the last few nights, the alarms have only gone off once or twice and Mom is able to go right back to sleep. She sounds better and seems to have more energy. For this....I am truly grateful.

Ricky is enjoying classes so far. I know he'll do great at something he will enjoy.

We went in to the rental house last night. A little disappointed in how they left things. They said they painted and they did, but they didn't fill any of the nail holes and there are many. Left some stuff in the basement that needs hauled off and the berber carpet I had put in two years ago has runs in it. There is also a car that belongs to their son in the back yard. It is suppose to be moved today and it better be or it will be towed at their expense.

I worry too...but I know I have to "carry on." Rick kind of goes numb....not sure why except that he knows I'll get us through it. It's just that it's getting harder the older I get.

It will get better....I know..... and I know I'm not the only one stressed. Times are hard for everyone for one reason or another. It will get better.

It is harder as we get older, cuz we have pileup stress. It's not just one or two things, but multiple things - as you know, your mom, Ricky, and the rent house, just to name a few. If it were only one of those things, it would be easier to handle. But all three together just multiplies the stress.

I'm sorry, it will get better, and you know that. It's just the pits between now and then.

It's not much fun for you either dear friend....but that's why we all have each other.

Janet,
My prayers are with you everyday. I hope things start looking up soon.
I don't know of any one that needs a place down there. But if i do I'll send them your way.

Thanks Linda!! I'm really nervous about it. I drove around the neighborhood where the house is and there are 3 other homes with FOR RENT signs in the yard. I think ours looks best, but we'll have to make it even more attractive and try not to spend too much.
