My day…

First thing that happened after arriving at work was there was an announcement at our morning safety meeting. My dear friend and co-worker Juanita lost her father and brother to an automobile accident on Sunday night, her stepson was also with them and was injured, but is going to be okay and has already been released from the hospital.

Needless to say Juanita was not at work, but both her father and brother lived with her and funeral expenses are going to be high, and neither had life insurance…her Dad was on Social Security, and they pay you a whopping $300 for funeral expenses, if you are lucky. So she and her husband are expected to pay for the funeral, and I guess on top of it the family wants them buried in Arizona, so they are renting a Uhaul and transporting the bodies themselves…talk about an emotionally difficult situation, I think her family is asking way too much of her at this time.

This whole thing has to seem like some kind of horrible nightmare. Anyway, I am really sad for her, and I know how much she has to be hurting about now, she was very close with both. Add in that her mother died just last year and her Dad just recovered from a stroke that had her freaking out, I imagine she is not doing too well right now.

That was the sad part of my day.

The funny part of my day was when I called home to let my family know I was off work and heading home.

Bill tells me that when he went out to feed the horses, my almost 2 year old daughter took advantage of his brief foray outside to get the last of the apple pie off the counter and to eat it. This was approximately 1/4 of a full sized pie.

When Bill came back inside and started making breakfast, Karli announced that she “wanted to eat that!”

He told her, “You have to be kidding, you just ate 1/4 of a pie!”

She replied, “Hungry”.

He tells her, “You can’t be hungry, you just ate all that pie.”

She says, “Yes, but only baby bites”.

ROTFL!

Silly kid!
