The pity party gets cancelled

Do you ever have a day, a week or more where you feel like everything is going wrong? Even with proper medication, I have them. Oh let’s take…uh….last week for example. Okay let’s not.
Instead of me ranting about how my child needed or wanted constant attention or how my husband was in a foul mood… one of those moods so foul you are inches from walking out the door or even have vision of throwing the car keys and a credit card at him and telling him to go to a friggin hotel until he can pull his head out of his butt…..oh wait. I’m ranting. My point here (oh hush, I hear you laughing)….. My point here is my week sucked!
So there I was Friday, lamenting about how shitty things are and how fed up and tired I was of yadda yadda this and yadda yadda that, friends who aren’t really friends, folks that don’t call, attitudinal husbands and how I don’t have anyone to talk to……when I realized I was being a crappy friend and forgetting someone’s birthday. Seeing as how I couldn’t very well bitch about people not thinking of me, if I didn’t think of them, I quickly called him to wish him a happy day.
While talking to him, the back of my mind was still thinking about how pitiful things were for me and how I missed really having friends and how…then BLAMMO!! He tells me that someone close to him and someone I sincerely like (which says a lot), is in the hospital and may not make it! POP! That was the sound of me pulling my head out of my ass and canceling my pity party. All my stuff seemed so small all of the sudden. I mean, here is a guy fighting for his life after a sudden freak accident. He’s a cowboy and fell of a horse while breaking it. Broken ribs, collapsed lung, internal bleeding clots being thrown….he’s in critical condition. His family and friends wait…..
So where do I get off?
What’s my point?
If you think things are bad….just be glad it’s not real fucking bad !
If you believe in prayer or even if you don’t could you add my friend Tom and his loved ones to your list of people to send good thoughts to?
Today my ranting about my little world and my little problems seems trite………….there is always tomorrow though.
