Thank you for all your motivating suppor...Hey Kim! Thank you for all your motivating support! You really have the go-get-em attitude that I need to adopt. Seriously, no company should be able to treat people like this and get away with it. It's been awful. I'm starting to believe that we'll be okay though. We really can replace all of our stuff. It's gone now. It almost seems easier now that it IS actually gone. Now all we can do is look to the future and rebuild. It would have been easier if it were a choice. But, we had no choice and we'll survive.<br /><br />Silver lining: I do not think that I'll ever take anything that I have, including my safety and sanity, for granted again.icancarryallthebagsandthebabiestoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092919063325046800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835422624088578710.post-89281331975928574702010-10-11T12:57:01.189-07:002010-10-11T12:57:01.189-07:00I sense you are in a MUCH better place right now! ...I sense you are in a MUCH better place right now! Getting mad and organized with a plan is what gets me though most things! ha!<br /><br />I think getting a job will be awesome for you! Now that both the girls are in school it will give YOU something to do/have during the day too! <br /><br />PLUS if you work at Whole Foods would you get a discount on food? I love WF too, but the closest one is in Ft. Collins, Colo. I couldn't shop there all the time because it definitely is a little more expensive, but for certain things I love it! I would give my left foot for a Trader Joe's in Wyoming! :)<br /><br />Here's a little story for you: The owners of the house we bought in Cheyenne last year decided to sell nearly all their belongings and only take with them what they could basically fit in an old Scotty trailer. This was awesome for us because we got first pick of the items to buy, but it was a neat story too. <br /><br />When I asked the woman, Jackie, how she felt about giving up all their really cool stuff she told us of how she had been in a very abusive marriage before her current husband and had to even go into hiding because he was a cop and had the ability to track her down. She and one of her daughters left in the middle of the night with a suitcase. They had to leave everything else. <br /><br />She said she realized then that stuff is just stuff. Your family, life, etc. are the important things. After that, she had very little attachment to "things", even the really neat antique stuff they owned. To them, it was perfectly ok to be without all the knick knacks and little things they had because they were going to travel together then land in Washington state where their kids and grandkids are. <br /><br />I thought it was cool. And hard. I have things I am very attached to and it would be hard to give it up, but...at the end of the day Jackie's right. You can't take it with you when you're gone either. <br /><br />You can always get new stuff. (And you can do it with the sweet check you'll get in the settlement!) :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
