I used cheap labor to do some tile work at my house. The job they did sucked and I had to rip some of the tile out and all of the base boards. I was so pissed off I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I ended up going outside and played catch with my younger son. After I calmed down, I went up stairs, paid them and told them to leave. I have been redoing their work all day and I am exhausted. I have to paint the base boards tonight.
A guy in our home group had a call I never want to take. The highway patrol called him to say that his teenage daughter died in a car crash. She was not wearing her seat belt and was thrown from the car. Also they are going to do a toxicology test. She was driving the car.

OMG. How horrid. Off to hug my boys. :(
oh lord....just puts everything in perspective doesn't it??? Bless his heart.
Hug those little ones. That is all you can do... and pray for your friend.
shit.
oh man.. that's awful... and the tile thing sucks too, but not as much...
I'm glad your son helped calm you down. Our kids really are pretty wonderful parts of our lives.
Wow, what a day! I hope you have a much better one tomorrow!
Love to you Lash
I can't imagine the pain of losing a child. Losing a dog is hard enough.
you were able to be there for him I bet
lousy lousy call to get
Not good re the RTA. :-(
Tiles can be re-stuck.
Hope you're well, generally. I'll remember your mate's girl in my prayers.
Remember my tiling woes and pics from back in November? Same thing -- cheap, shit labor.
This is the second blog I have read over the weekend about someone losing their child. G-d, I can't even imagine...
Love to you, D,

Wow, makes yo take a step back and embrace all the not so perfect events going on in one's own life.
every parent's nightmare...God Bless them
I'm sorry about your tilework. I terribly sorry for your friends loss. I can't imagine the pain. A woman in my homegroup whose story has made me cry more than once, had a similar thing happen a few months ago. Her only son went on a snowboarding trip with friends, was asleep in the back seat (no belt) and was ejected when the driver swerved to miss a cow. Two of the four boys died. I think she's still sober, but she doesn't go to meetings anymore...she thinks god is punishing her. So sad. I think I'm going to go hug my kids right now.
