Constant Reminders!!

A friend had this written on their facebook, it brought me to tears:

What do you do for these parents now?


In a few days they have presents that can never be opened. There is another room in the house that can't be slept in, car seats, magnets, drawings, TV shows, smells and their little shoes right by the door as u leave. 

With all this being said its just a constant reminder of what they had, and now have to exist without.

 Now in a matter of hours in a sense they have to collect the fragments of their broken souls to buy a tombstone to purchase with meaningless money, a casket, that is smaller than your Christmas tree,and  in return have the lasting image of your kid going on the bus, that's never coming back ....... 

Words can't explain how sad I am for the families of Connecticut, and how angry I am at how evil/demented our society has become! 

May all the victims RIP!!

Fill in the blank Friday!!

When it comes to holiday shopping,

 I try to have mine finished long before the holidays roll around. 

A few things on my Christmas wish list are 

A new MacBook Pro in Pink (which I have already received), also to be able to spent Christmas with my girls, which is going to happen.  

An intangible gift I would like to receive is 

a day to do nothing and stay in my pj's all day

A gift I would like to give this year is 

a new home paid in full for all of our girls. :)  Come on Lottery numbers!!

My Christmas will be spent 

at my daughters house, and at my house. We are having Christmas twice so we can see everyone.

My most favorite Christmas gift of all time was 

a metal dollhouse I got when I was 6 or 7 years old.

The best thing about the holidays is

being around family and friends, enjoying all the lights and music.

Feeling crappy!!

Woke up feeling like crap today. Feeling a little better tonight but not much. Hopefully by morning I will feel much better.

I have been in constant prayer today for the family and friends of all the victims in Newtown Ct. My heart is just breaking for those people who have lost their babies and loved ones. I can't even imagine losing one of my children or grandchildren. So all I can do is pray for them, so that is what I am doing.

Friday Letters!!

Dear Sandy Hook Elementary,
I am so sorry for the evil that has invaded your school.

Dear Parents and loved ones of the sandy hook elementary school shootings,
my heart and prayers go out to you. I can't imagine the horror that you are experiencing today.

Dear shooter,
Why, why, why would you harm such innocent little children and their teachers. Their are no good answers. No excuse can make this right. I wish you were here to explain how one's mind can turn so evil. What happened to cause such hate against ones you don't even know.

Dear Kisha, Laci, Brittany, Jackson, Don, Mom, and all of my loved ones,
I love you all and so glad you are safe.  I wish I could hold and hug each one of you today.  Please pray for these families that are going through horrible times right now.

Dear sore throat,
You have been here for two days. Please go away. NOW!!

Dear Solie and Tom,
I am so excited for you that you have moved into your new home. But sad that you are no longer our neighbors. Looking forward to seeing you in your new home tonight. We will bring the wine.

Dear Don,
Thanks for being such a great nurse the last couple of days. I do appreciate you.

Breaking News Now!!

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MASSACRE! 

Worst school shooting in US history

NOW SAYING  THERE WERE 2 SHOOTERS!!

27 dead so far

at least 20 children shot

NEWTOWN CT.

PRAYERS NEEDED!!

 WHAT A SAD SAD DAY!!!

My heart is breaking for the family and loved ones left behind

Don's Home till January!!

Don is now on vacation until January.

Which means I probably won't get much done unless he finds something to do away from the house. I just don't get much done while he's home. But that's ok, I like having him home.

We are thinking about moving so maybe we will house hunt during this time.

We also are looking for a house to flip, so maybe we can find one of those to do.

I am sure we will stay busy, and then Christmas is coming up also.  

 Can't wait!!!

Merry Christmas
