We had the boat hauled a few weeks ago….dry docked and they sanded down the bottom and repainted it.
The above picture is right after the first sanding. The bottom is rough and raw.
That is how I am feeling.
Raw.
I can’t cry anymore because my eyes are so swollen, the tears won’t come.
For those in the computer who do not know me personally, my family is fine. Bill and the kids are fine.
Those who know me personally know exactly what I am talking about.
I am incredibly hurt.
I am hauling out and dry docking for a bit so I can work my way through the chaos. The chaos that is my life…..buying a house, selling a house, packing, changing schools, helping my kids make the adjustment, living in the trailer, charged emotions, hurt feelings, gossip, termites, broken arms, stolen cameras, police reports, cellulitis, pep rallies, hurricanes etc.
I will be back when we get settled in.
I found your blog awhile back through a friend of a friend of a friend or something like that. I just wanted you to know that when I started reading I thought you were the most wonderful strong woman with such a beautiful family….you still are.
I don’t know what has happened but I want you to know that I am going through a very rough time with family right now (to the point of divorce, and my parents being hurtful again as usual) Many many times lately I have thought I would just give up and the hurt would be over. I felt like I was alone and the only person in the world that felt like this. Of course, I know I’m not but felt like it anyway.
I guess to see someone with such a seemingly perfect family go through pain helped me realize that everybody has pain at one time or another and I’m not only not alone, but need to make the most of what I do have.
I thank you for that, and if you ever need a stranger to lean on I’ll be here for you. You can email me anytime. littleoldladyinashoe6 at yahoo dot com
Much love to you and your family, and I’m glad you and your family are alright.

I read this about a week back and am just now getting around to commenting on it…sorry about that.
I’m sorry for whatever is going on in your life that is hurting you and I hope you feel better soon.
I’m sorry you’re feeling raw. You will get through this time, and when you do, you will be stronger (though I’m not sure how much stronger you can get!) And life will be what you want it to be. ((((Hugs))))
Jody,
I hope that your pain is eased and that whatever is causing it passes.

I’ll be thinking of you while you’re weathering this storm. Just remember that sunny days will come again. Take care
You know families can be wonderful, yet on another note they can be the most harsh. I am sorry you have been made to feel raw Jody, but you and Bill are both adults and have made decisions based on your life together, go with it and make your family proud because in the end, your happiness is all that really matters.
Love for God purifies and enobles every taste and desire, intensifies every affection, and brightens every worthy pleasure. God wants us to have the desires of our hearts.
I will be praying for you, rest in His arms Jody. Don’t stay away to long, let us support you!
Jody, you’re in my thoughts.
Best wishes, Jodi, for things to smooth out and become managible. Hang in there.
Although I consider you a ‘friend’ I don’t know what is hurting you… but I can still hope that you feel better soon. Whatever it is, I assume time will heal it.
Oh sweetie, I’m so very very very sorry. I can only hope that time will help. Take very good care of yourself.

Hang in there Jody. Sorry that things are so rough right now. Praying you’ll weather the storm and will be sailing smooth waters again soon.
I am praying for all of you!
I hope that everything will be fine for you. I know I don’t say much in the comments section but I have been reading your blog for 2 years. I look forward to when you come back and write again. Good vibes coming your way.
I completely and totally understand. I’ll talk to you very soon — may God give you peace and solace amidst those who love you and care about your well-being; and may He give you refuge from those who would persecute and injure you. Love you.
Jodi, Hoping things settle down for you soon. Will be sending good thoughts your way !
I’ll be thinking of you, and looking forward to reading more when you’re ready to write more.
When we bought our house the entire month before closing I was insane. I didn’t think I could take anymore. So I totally get where you are coming from.
I am sending lots of prayers and positive thoughts that you will be at peace soon.
Sending positive thoughts of peace…
I don’t know you and can’t imagine what could have been going on to cause you to feel so raw. But I’ve been reading your blog for a while, and I’m so amazed by your bravery.
If I could offer you a word of encouragement, it would be to remember Galveston’s own history, how the people there chose to wrest the very land from the sea and make it their own. So it is with your life. I’m sorry it’s so hard. Build on.
Hi Jody,
You’ve had some big changes in your life and that can cause so much stress.
Take your time and don’t worry about blogging.
Sending you ((hugs))
I am sorry that things are so chaotic right now..When it’s all said and I done I know things will work out the way they should. Hang in there, and keep your chin up.
