Okay I will follow this up with a happy post soon but I have to let out my gripes.
Lou gets to go to Florida next week. I wish someone would pay me to go to Florida. I know he'll be in conferences most days but some of the days are only half days and the rest of the day he can do whatever he wants. With most of my family being in Florida I'd love it even if I did have conferences to attend. He also is staying at some resort hotel right in Disney World. Man life is hard for Louis
Lou got invited to go to a Jazz game by his friend Linc. First off Lou wouldn't even know Linc if it wasn't for me (he's Hannah's husband for those who dont know) and hello who loves the Jazz more than I do.
Most seriously my Mom is in the hospital and I want more than anything to be with her. I can't stop thinking about her and I just want to give her a hug and to have her hold me which we do all the time when we see eachother (which is maybe once a year). She should be released tomorrow but still I want to be with my Mom!
Sorry for the grumps I just needed to let it out!

Hope Lou has a fun trip! Maybe you could go with him and leave the kids with friends or grandma and grandpa?
Hope your mom is doing well...what happened? We'll keep her in our prayers.
And, maybe Lou can tape the jazz game for you! (:

Nate has been to Florida TWICE for work without me. He's stayed in nice hotels and has time to just site-see. Hello?! What's that all about? I totally understand your griping.
Diana-
Guys and their jobs are never fair, Matt has gone on 5 trips this year without me and one of them all they guys took their wives- but not ME!
Mom is home, No bad news and so hopefully you will be able to talk to her soon, if you haven't already...
I love you!

Yeah...I can relate to you on several things in this post (: Mark will be in Long Beach all week, there's a good possibility he will be going to New York City the first part of Dec...not to mention the trips to Denver, Atlanta, Toronto, Puerto Rico...yeah, I can't even remember all the places he's been this year for work. Granted, he IS there for work and doesn't usually have much time for fun, but it's all paid for, they eat out at nice places, and he's traveling to some places I would love to visit. So I can definitely "grump" with you on that one. (: I just have to remind myself how thankful I am for Mark's job, and what a HUGE blessing it has been for us.
And I hope your Mom is ok! I have had those feelings many a time for my mom throughout her several battles with cancer. (: It's hard not living close by when scary things like that happen. I hope you can be with her soon, and know that I will be thinking of and praying for her.
We will definitely have to hang out this week! Have some fun while the husbands are away ;) What days is Lou gone?
Us Jazz widows should have gotten together and hung out. Why didn't I think of that earlier. Next time we should plan it!
Venting can be good. I hope you feel better and that things are good with your mom. It's hard for me to imagine living far from mine.
Diana, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she's going to be ok. It would be so hard to be far away from a family member in need of some comfort.
As for the business trip thing--yeah, life really isn't fair. Jeremy's gotten to go so many places that I would love to go to, and he's gotten to go to the Bay Area way more than I have, and he's seen my dad on top of it all. A dinner alone with my dad? I'd almost kill for that opportunity. Just wait, when your kids are older, the fairness scale will start to tip in your direction. At least that's what I tell myself to make me feel better whenever life just doesn't seem to like me very much.
I'm sorry for the bad day! I know how you feel with your Mom being sick. I've had my share of that too, with both parents. I hope to see you before we move next week. Call me!
