can get get worse?

 

- have you ever looked at your life and pondered on “how could things get worse” have you ever felt like you have hit rock bottom? well i have and i have now decided that when that thought of “things couldn’t get worse” crosses my mind that i will banish it as far from me as it can get. why?

- in november i left my husband. i moved my furniture on a saturday, spent a peaceful day playing house, went to work for two days and then was road tripping for thanksgiving. i was less than 200 miles from home when my phone rang and i found myself in the middle of no where colorado listing to my mother tell me that my grandmother had just been given her experation date. i can still show you where that spot in the road is. december was full of family drama and grandma’s “last” christmas. january found me being told that on top of everything else that i was a terrible teacher and that my students were worse off in life for having had me as their teacher. valentines day was so memorable, i mean who else gets to utter that they are done, done and wants a divorce, great way to remember the day! march, hell i don’t remember much. april brought easter and a visit from my grandmother and words of wisdom from an idiot stating that she didn’t look like she would last long. april also brought me being let go of my position at the local community college due to an issue with a student (in the game of divorce she was on my husbands team). then may… i spent the first few weeks of may preparing weeks worth of lesson plans as i knew then time was close that i would have to head north to say my final goodbye to my grandmother. sure enough at 3am on saturday morning my phone rang, i left promptly at 5am the same day.

so in less than a year i have lost the man i promised under heaven to spend the rest of my life with, i lost a home, i lost a job, i lost a grandparent. and so often i uttered those words, “what else, what else can go wrong” i mean wouldn’t you.
