We know better, but it's difficult to put it in perspective and focus on the positives, and our blessings when the nightmare just won't end. I was busy today visiting with customers and trying to do my job to build relationships and work out ways to increase our sales and begin the process of recooping some of the recent losses and when I got back to my truck and to my cell phone after being away from it for a couple of hours, I had several missed calls and voicemails. More people needing answers about what happened to cause the recent losses, everyone wants details and more information on a topic that frankly is beyond all our control, and I'm tired of explaining. It's up to the bankruptcy courts and the lawyers now. Tomorrow morning, I will be visiting with more customers trying to develop a couple of new accounts, and tomorrow afternoon, it's back to the office to answer some of the questions left over from today. Who'd have thought 6 months ago that we would be where we are today. I'm trying to hang on, but most of the time, I'm just a breath away from tears and turning into a blubbering idiot.

I told hubby, I haven't starting reading the 4th book in the Twilight series yet because I don't have time. It may just be time to break it out and start reading. I need to escape into another world for a while. Calgon, take me away.......
