My Life/ My Breakdown 2007-03-21 02:05:00 Ever had a day when you wish you never got out of bed? That's my day today. I have been keeping alot of feelings bottled up in me for a very long time and today most of those things just came out. I'd like to say I feel better now but my chest just have that heavy feeling that I just can't get rid of. Of all the day's this has to happen my youngest sister decided to leave her husband. Nothing is
My Life/ Chicago 2007-03-23 00:55:00 I am so excited we are going to Chicago
this weekend for a mini shopping get away. Something I really need after the week I've had. We are going to an outlet mall and staying overnight so the kids can swim. And my husband is back on the day shift starting Monday now maybe I can finally get some things done around here at night. Hopefully my 2 year old can maintain herself on our get away.
My Life/ We made it!!!! 2007-03-25 00:59:00 Okay so my trip to Chicago is not as relaxing as I planned. My son was not feeling well last night when we picked him up from his Nana's house, my husband and I assumed it was because he ate to much junk food. We tell my mom time and time again to not let them eat junk and she can't seem to tell them no. So we brought him home and he went straight to bed. We got up at about 5 am and he said he
My Life/ Home At Last!! 2007-03-26 15:14:00 Well we made it home without anyone getting sick. Thank goodness for that! It took forever to get home though and the weather was so nice Saturday and Sunday. It had rained a lot Saturday morning in Chicago but by the afternoon it was just beautiful. Yesterday it was even better temps reached over 70 degree's. I can't wait to go back I would like to take the kids to the Sears Tower we just did
My Life/ Sickness 2007-03-28 15:29:00 We have a nasty stomach bug going through our house. My husband and I had it yesterday and my 2 year old came down with it last night. Some of my daycare kids have been out with it all week also. It must be the time of year for it because everyone I talk to has something. It really is terrible to be sick when the weather is so nice out. You lay in bed wishing you could be outside playing Read more:Sickness
My Life/ Life is just to busy!!! 2007-03-30 17:20:00 On top of everybody being sick around here all week, we had lots going on. We had conferences for my son and daughter which I am happy to report they are both doing very well. My son did awesome on his MEAP test. I talked to my daughter's teacher more about her fear of writing in her journal because she is still giving me such a hard time about going to school on journal day. He teacher just
My Life/ Spring Break 2007-04-02 16:13:00 I used to love Spring
break as a kid. My kids are so happy no school for a whole week. But easy week for them means a much harder week for me. It means that I have a full daycare almost everyday. I love having my kids home it's just harder with other kids. It would not be so bad if the weather was nice but the weather is terrible, they are predicting snow for Wednesday. We have our first Read more:Break
My Life/ Friendship 2007-04-04 16:35:00 My friend sent me this , which could not have come at a better time for me.......

My Life/ Down and Out! 2007-04-03 19:53:00 It has been one of those days. Not as busy as I anticipated most of the Daycare kids are out sick with the nasty virus that's still going around. I only have 3 extra kids besides my own, but I can't hardly smile today. I feel alone today. Almost like I am so tired of everyone expecting so much from me I am disconnecting myself from everyone. I feel like no one really knows how I feel at
My Life/ Easter Weekend!!! 2007-04-07 02:56:00 We are on our annual Easter
weekend getaway. We are in Birch Run Michigan which is about 2 and a half hours away from home. We rented a car again and I am happy to report that no one has gotten car sick. Every year on Easter Weekend
we go to an Outlet mall shopping usually it is either Birch Run or Michigan City. This year we picked Birch Run. My kids hate the shopping part but love staying in a
My Life/ Tragedy 2007-04-09 03:53:00 My Easter did not turn out as planned. In fact today will be a day my family will never forget. At about four in the afternoon, my mom called my house wanting my sister to return home asap. My mom just lives down the road from me and that is where my sister and her daughter have been staying while her husband has been in Iraq. My husband went with her because my mom sounded very upset and I Read more:Tragedy
My Life/ Getting By 2007-04-11 13:58:00 Well even day's later I still feel like this can't be real, like I am waiting to wake up from this horrible dream. My sister is hanging on barely. She had a really hard day yesterday I think that it is finally starting to sink in. Whats so hard is that we have to wait for his body to return before we can really plan the funeral. My sister just wants all of his stuff from Texas and all of his
My Life/ How do I say goodbye to you? 2007-04-10 12:40:00 I don't know how to say goodbye to you. It bothers me that you are still in another country. I guess it really bothers me that you lost your life in another country. All the what if's keep entering my mind. I keep wishing that this is all a bad dream or a mistake. Just when I think I have accepted the fact that you are gone it hits me all over again. I still can't believe it. I hope you knew how
My Life/ Disbelief 2007-04-13 15:53:00 This is so messed up, I still can't believe that this is real. Everday I wake up and just hope that it was all just a bad dream, then reality hits it is not, this is really happening. All the pain just rushes back to my stomach. I can't stand it. My sister is just trying to get by. My heart just breaks for her. These coming day's are going to be difficult. His body is going to be coming in on a Read more:Disbelief
My life/ A True Hero 2007-04-15 17:23:00 Someone left this for me and I thought I'd share it.
I came by today to see you
I had to let you know
If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time
I'd have held you and never let go
It's kept me awake nights, wondering
Lie in the dark, just asking why
I've always been told
You won't be called home
Until it's your time
I guess heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just
My Life/ Moving Forward 2007-04-15 17:04:00 Well this last week has been so incredibly hard. It is still to hard for me to put into words. It feels like things will never be right nor good again. His body is set to come home tomorrow. From there he will be taken to the funeral home and we will have two days of visitation and Wednesday will be the service. I still can hardly believe that he is gone, I keep waiting for a phone call that Read more:Moving

My Life/ One final goodbye. 2007-04-19 16:47:00 We had my brother in laws funeral yesterday. It was beautiful. He was truly honored as a hero. Our family has been through so much in the past week and a half I still feel like I am walking in a daze. We have all cried so much I can't believe that there are any tears left. This gut wrenching pain I would never wish on anyone. My sister is holding up she admits that she is still a bit in denial
My Life/ Going On!!! 2007-04-22 17:22:00 It is so hard to believe that it has been 2 weeks since we received the tragic news about my brother in law. We are all trying to stay busy, not that we are trying to hide our emotions because we all still cry, but he would want us out living our lives. Today we are taking the kids roller skating. First we are going to stop at the cemetery. My sister is ready to go there now. We have also have Read more:Going
My Life/ Rainy Thursday 2007-04-26 18:43:00 Thank goodness it is almost the weekend. I have had a very long week. It has been pouring down rain all day, which really does not seem to bother me today. Somehow the rain feels comforting today. We just found out that the Military is having a memorial service for Todd May 17th. My husband and I are taking that week off and driving my sister and her daughter and my 3 crazy travelers to Texas. I Read more:Thursday
My Life/ Spring Cleaning 2007-04-24 16:01:00 I have been on a mission all morning. I am trying to spring clean. My mission today was to tackle my room mainly my dresser. I had so much junk stacked on top of it I did not know where to begin. Everyday I am going to try to tackle something else. We are having a community yard sale the first weekend in May and I want to get rid of a lot of stuff that we don't really need. I was watching the Read more:Spring

My Life/ Big Game 2007-05-01 15:46:00 Today is our first baseball game and we are all so nervous. I don't think we will ever coach again. It is way to much pressure. My husband and I feel like we are being judged all the time. Nothing has gone right. Our uniforms are not fitting some of the kids and we have pictures tonight before the game. Oh yeah and did I mention that it is storming out today. It is supposed to clear up later in
My Life/ My Purpose 2007-05-05 05:11:00 I am having one of those day's. It started off like a semi normal day, well about as normal as it can be since Todd's death. We had a yard sale and made about $400 dollars which really surprised me. My husband took the day off work to run it and thank goodness he did because I could not have done it alone with the day care kids. We went to Applebee's for dinner, just the five of us. At dinner my Read more:Purpose
My Life/ Very Busy Week. 2007-05-07 00:58:00 We have such a busy week ahead. I have lot's of Daycare kids almost everyday. We have a baseball game Monday night. Which by the way we won our first game and lost our second, but all the kids seem to have a good time. My girlfriend is having her baby Wednesday so I have to bring her little guy up to the hospital to meet his new sibling, which I am very excited for. I have to start packing
My Life/ Wednesday 2007-05-10 02:21:00 Three more day's until we leave for Texas. My sister received Todd's things from Iraq yesterday, so it was kinda a hard day for everyone. He had so much stuff, I could not believe everything he kept over there. It was really hard looking at the pictures he had of my Sister and Emma. He had tons of tuna fish which really surprised me I did not even know he liked tuna fish and tons of chewing gum. Read more:Wednesday
My Life/ Traffic Jam 2007-05-13 03:26:00 As I write this we are stuck in a traffic jam in Missouri. We think that there was an accident. We are 11 hours into the trip and happy to report that no one has gotten sick yet. My daughter Mackenzie the car sick queen has only gagged once and My birthday girl Hailey has only gagged a few times only because she has been crying. I think that she is over tired. We went to bed rather late and still Read more:Traffic Jam
My Life/ TGIF 2007-05-11 14:49:00 I am so glad that it is Finally Friday. I have so many kids today hopefully I will make it through the day. My Mom is getting out of work early and coming over to help me so I can finish packing. We are leaving at 3 am we find it is much easier to leave really early with the little ones so they sleep a good part of the trip. My poor cat she is going to go crazy without all the action. My Mom is
My Life/ Long drive home!! 2007-05-19 21:53:00 Well my week in Texas is over. We left at 5am this morning. We went a bit out of our way today to go to Graceland. I have always wanted to go there and we never travel through that part of Tennessee, so on spur of the moment we just did it. I am so glad we did. It was so cool to see where Elvis once lived. We are staying in Missouri tonight and should be home tomorrow evening sometime. The kids Read more:drive
My Life/ Back Home 2007-05-23 07:33:00 I need a vacation already. I have been busting my butt ever since I walked through the door. My husband found out that he needs his wisdom teeth out. Which I cannot wait for he has been in so much pain and has been so cranky. Our central air system is not working so I have someone coming out this afternoon to look at that. Today it is supposed to be a high of 87. So hopefully it will be an easy
My Life/ Memorial day weekend. 2007-05-24 20:31:00 We had a cook out at my Moms house today and it rained, I was so disappointed. We still had a good time indoors. My sister wanted me to say a prayer and have a moment if silence in honor of Todd and the other fallen Soldiers and the ones still over in Iraq and it completely slipped my mind. I feel terrible I am going to try to do it tomorrow and my nephews first birthday party. I just feel kinda Read more:Memorial
My Life/ Memorial Day 2007-05-28 09:10:00 Dearest Todd, A year ago if you would have asked me what Memorial
Day meant to me I would have had not much to say. Not that I didn't care or I didn't understand the meaning, it's just that I had never given it much thought. It's been almost 2 months since your death and I still have trouble believing that this is real. How can such a young healthy guy full of life really be gone? I'm still sad, Read more:Memorial Day
