enough

ok, enough is enough

the snow can go now.

I was getting a bit stir crazy yesterday, when the only reason you've been outside is to sledge, shovel or trying to save your gutters from the weight of 20 inches of snow so they don't collapse, whilst looking after children (mine and my neighbours two boys- she was 25 miles away having chemotherapy...) who don't have school, you can lose your perspective on life a little.

this morning the same neighbours eldest child collapsed and was unconscious on the floor.

and the ambulance couldn't get here because of the snow.

he is ok, but my nerves are shot to bits. I can't bear to think how his mum and dad are feeling.

  2. Oh, that sounds like hell on earth. If I could get up there to melt the wretched stuff for you, I would.

    Sending good thoughts and wishes for your neighbour and her family - how awful - and strength to you. You're a good friend and I bet they're incredibly grateful to you.

  3. Oh my goodness you poor thing, and of course your poor neighbours too, so pleased that child is ok. I'm holding your hand here, in a cyber kind of way and the kettle's on. Deep breath now ..

    We finally got snow today and I'm not pleased at all. Bah humbug! x

  9. Sending you wishes for a better day today. What a nightmare you went through! Well done for coping. Sometimes life just gets so weird and difficult and then suddenly it all goes back to normal. I do hope that happens for you SOON.
